YES. Shifter Snowboard 2025

The YES. Shifter Snowboard is a soft flexing twin board designed for park progresssion. Unlike other boards, the Y3D profile begins outside the contact area, giving it a more direct, fast and catch free edge feeling. The Shifter Carbon Layup configuration adds longitudinal stiffness to the nose and tail area's while keeping the board torsionally softer between the bindings. This will help keeping the nose from folding in high speed run and makes your ollies pop as high as possible while keeping the board nice and responsive between the feet.

  • 4
• Suggested Use
  • Freestyle
• Camber / Rocker Style
  • Camber
    • This is the classic camber profile where the center of the board is raised off the snow, and the contact points are closer to the bindings. Offers good edge control, stability, and pop. Can be less forgiving than other profiles, making it better for advanced riders or those who prefer a more aggressive riding style.
• Shape
  • True Twin
    • A twin snowboard is symmetrically shaped, with an identical nose and tail, enabling riders to perform maneuvers and tricks with ease in both regular and switch stances. This symmetrical design ensures equal performance characteristics regardless of direction, facilitating versatile riding experiences. Ideal for freestyle riders and terrain park enthusiasts, twin snowboards enhance maneuverability, allow for seamless transitions between tricks, and promote a balanced feel. The symmetrical shape fosters a consistent and predictable ride, making it well-suited for those who enjoy riding in various directions and executing tricks with a uniform approach.
• Perfectly symmetrical shape for balanced riding, equally versatile both when used regular and when used in switch. Great balance between feline stability and freestyle mobility, no matter which way you point it.
• Core Material
  • Full Poplar
    • Poplar is known for its combination of lightweight and strength, providing a good balance for the core. Its lightweight nature contributes to the overall reduced weight of the snowboard. Additionally, poplar offers a consistent and predictable flex pattern, enhancing the board's responsiveness. The wood's durability ensures the core can withstand the stresses of riding while maintaining a desirable flex. Overall, poplar wood helps create snowboards that are lightweight, durable, and responsive, catering to a broad range of riders.
• Construction
  • Carbon Layup Shifter
    • This Carbon Layup configuration adds longitudinal stiffness to the nose and tail area's while keeping the board torsionally softer between the bindings. This will help keeping the nose from folding in high speed run and makes your ollies pop as high as possible while keeping the board nice and responsive between the feet.
• Edges
  • Y3D JIB
    • The Y3D Jib/Street is the most cozy 3D in the collection. A real smooth operator that will have your back all day long. Easy to navigate short and sketchy in runs and the most forgiving 3D giving comfort progressing your rail game.
    • Wide center base for stability on rails and obstacles.
    • Medium uplift of the side bases for control on difficult run ins and sketchy landings.
    • Early start of the side base uplift for a nice and loose underfoot feel, forgiveness and no edge catch.
  • Sidekick
    • Sidekick technology elevates the edges at the widest points of the board's nose and tail, minimizing the risk of catching an edge. This design enhances forgiveness during rides, ensuring a smoother experience. Particularly beneficial in powder snow, Sidekick optimizes floatation, by flushing snow outwards. It also helps preventing unexpected edge catches when riding on a flat base. Enjoy a more confident and controlled snowboarding experience with Sidekick technology. This is a 3D feature in the tip and tail sections outside the snowboard's effective edge. It's there when you need it and it will only be effective in pow, slush and 'end of the day' bumpy snow conditions. When everything is perfectly groomed Sidekick is not influencing the ride. However, this is only the first hour of the day and after that you will be happy to have Sidekick make your board run smoother, less nervous and channels the snow in a more natural way creating more float in deep snow conditions.
• Base
  • Extruded
    • YES. Snowboards' extruded bases are durable, low-maintenance, and cost-effective, making them ideal for beginner and casual riders. Created by melting polyethylene pellets and molding them, these bases have lower porosity, requiring less waxing and simplifying tuning. While sintered bases offer higher performance, extruded bases provide a smoother learning curve and forgiving ride in various conditions.
