Aimed at riders from strong intermediate through to pro level, the versatile ride-anything Standard is the perfect choice for anyone that wants one board that can do it all. Built around an advanced Directional Volume twin shape featuring Yes's advanced Mid-Bite sidecut, it delivers the balance of a freestyle twin with the versatility of a freeride board. Feeling equally at home on high-speed groomers, backcountry booters, waist-deep tree runs, or even park kicker lines, the Standard can only be described as the perfect ride anything and everything snowboard. So, if you're after a board that is versatile enough to be your daily driver and has enough performance to ride at even the highest levels, all whilst being one of the most fun to ride boards you can strap into, the multi-award-winning Standard could be a perfect choice.
Rider Style
The Standard is aimed at intermediate to expert riders looking for a responsive, high-performance board that delivers stunning performance no matter what or where you ride.
Shape Overview
The Standards advanced directional twin shape is key to its stunning all-terrain performance. Heading this up is the unique blunt nose profile. Taking its inspiration from the highly acclaimed Optimistic, this state-of-the-art design gives unrivalled levels of lift and float without feeling long and unwieldy. To provide the Standard with its responsive and stable underfoot feel, it utilises Yes's advanced MidBite edge profile. This innovative design pulls in the edges between the insert packs, cheating the board into riding like it has a narrower waist. This unique design works so well that it allows the designers to increase the board's width under the feet, improving float in pow while also giving a more stable platform for popping off jumps and kickers. To increase performance in the pow even further, the Standard features Yes's Slamback Stance; this adds an extra set of inserts allowing you to set back the stance for those bottomless powder days.
Profile
The Standards 3-4-3 CamRock profile combines a mid-rise rocker at the tip and tail with a more pronounced camber through the middle of the board. This innovative profile produces hook-free zones at the tips, allowing the contact points to power up turn initiation and exit. That little bit of rocker also works perfectly with the nose shape to deliver unrivalled levels of lift and float in deeper snow. By adding a more pronounced camber between the feet, the unique MidBite edge profile engages more securely, creating a more responsive and dynamic feel through the turn.
Construction
As expected for such a high-performance board, the Standard's construction utilises some of the most advanced technology. Heading this up is the state-of-the-art wood core. Combining durable poplar with lightweight paulownia and bamboo stringers running through the centre, the Standard delivers a powerful and responsive flex through the length while cutting weight to the absolute minimum. Yes then add structural layers formed from a torsionally stiff tri-ax weave glass fibre to this. This powerful glass fibre beefs up the torsional flex and ensures that no matter how hard or fast you ride, you know that the Standard won't let you down.
Base: Sintered
As the Standard is all about performance, Yes step up the base to a True Sintered material. True Sintered is harder and more expensive than extruded, and it can be faster for those that ride aggressively fast.
