2024 YES Snowboards Overview

New 2024 YES Snowboards

The new boards for 2023-24 are: 

+ SBBS Pyzel - The SBBS (snowboards built by surfers) Pyzel is a tapered midbite, directional twin (according to YES, but given that there's some taper there, I wouldn't call it directional twin), 7/10 flex, traditional camber, freeride bordering on all-mountain board. It has 6mm of taper and features slam back inserts. 

+ All-In - Another that features tapered mid-bite (like the Warca and the new Pyzel), the All-In is a mellow freeride board that's more budget friendly. A large part of that is down to having an extruded, rathar than sintered base. Again YES call it a directional twin (but again, with taper, I would debate that).  It comes with a 6/10 flex rating, camrock (hybrid camber) 2-4-2 and 6mm of taper. Very much looks a lot like the new Pyzel but with an extruded base, biax glasssing (vs triax on the Pyzel) and a softer overall flex (likely due, in large part, to the biax glassing).

Summary

So there you have the 2024 YES snowboards. 

Out with the Old and In with the New

There aren't any retiring boards in YES' lineup this year. Everything from 2023 has returned with a 2024 model. 

There are a couple of new boards, the SBBS Pyzel and All-In. Freeride/all-mountain boards that share the same shape and dimensions. But the Pyzel features full camber vs the hybrid camber on the All-In and the Pyzel is stiffer and likely lighter, given the core. 

The Pyzel also comes with a sintered spec base vs the extruded base on the All-In. The differences are similar to those between the Jackpot and the Dicey. 

Changes to Existing Models

Basic Uninc RDM: NEW Sizes 159W and 161. Otherwise looks to be identical. 

Standard Uninc: NEW Size 149. 2023 model mentions Triax + carbon for glass - 2024 doesn't mention the carbon. Sidecut is 0.1m shorter for each size for '24 model - but this is likely just a remeasurement or re-rounding than an actual change given that all other dimensions are identical. 

PYL Uninc. DCP : For the '23 model the core was Poplar/Paulownia/chakra windows. For the '24 ,model it says poplar/paulownia/coreless tail. Otherwise looks to be the same.

Hybrid: The '23 model says camrock 1-4-2 and '24 model says camrock 1-4-1. Not sure if 1 of those was just a typo though (2022 model was also presented as 1-4-1 - so the 2023 model might have been the typo). Otherwise no changes and this is likely to have not been a change but more of a presentation correction.  

20/20: The '23 model's core was poplar/paulownia. The '24 model says poplar/paulownia+coreless. 

420 Powder Hull: '23 model core was poplar/paulownia. '24 model says poplar/paulownia+ powder hull.  Otherwise looks to be the same. 

In addition to these changes most models also received new graphics. The exceptions being the PYL and 420, which also have the same graphic as the '23 model.
