2027 Yes The Greats Snowboard

The 2027 YES Greats continues one of the most iconic models in the YES lineup, a board that has built its reputation on precision freestyle performance and distinctive shaping. It draws directly from the influence of YES founders DCP, JP Solberg and Romain De Marchi, riders whose approach to snowboarding helped shape the brand itself. This year’s graphic leans into that heritage, featuring film-strip artwork from classic video parts, complete with old-school editing annotations that celebrate the era these riders helped define.

On snow the Greats feels sharp, responsive and extremely capable when pushed into stronger freestyle riding. The CamRock 2-4-2 profile keeps a healthy camber section underfoot for edge hold and snap while slightly longer rocker zones make the board easier to release into spins and transitions. The asymmetrical MidBite design refines the sidecut between heel and toe edges, improving heel-side response and carving balance, while the twin shape keeps the board perfectly centred for spins, switch riding and technical freestyle lines.

Key Features

Terrain Type – Freestyle / All Mountain
Built for riders who want a freestyle-focused board that can still carve confidently and handle stronger all-mountain riding.

Shape – Asym Twin (MidBite)
A true twin platform with asymmetrical MidBite shaping that improves heel-side response while keeping the board balanced for freestyle riding.

Profile – Hybrid Positive
The CamRock 2-4-2 profile places strong camber underfoot for grip and pop while slightly longer rocker zones help smooth out turn initiation and make spins easier to release.

Flex – Mid-Stiff 7/10
A supportive flex that delivers stability and precision for stronger freestyle riding while still allowing enough movement for technical tricks.

Tech Features

• Asymmetrical MidBite Edge Technology
  The Greats uses YES’s MidBite concept combined with an asymmetrical sidecut to balance heel and toe edge performance. The waist is pulled inward between the bindings for faster edge-to-edge response, while the asymmetrical sidecut compensates for the natural difference between heel and toe turns, producing smoother and more controlled carving.
• Poplar / Paulownia / Bamboo Core
  This mixed wood core blends durable poplar with lightweight paulownia and responsive bamboo stringers. The combination reduces weight while maintaining strength and delivering lively energy return underfoot.
• Carbon Reinforcement
  Carbon elements are integrated into the construction to increase snap and improve energy transfer. This helps the board feel more responsive when loading the edge or popping off park features.
• Triax Fiberglass
  Triax fiberglass increases torsional stiffness and stability, allowing the board to hold a strong edge through aggressive turns and remain composed on bigger jumps and landings.
• Sintered Base
  A dense sintered base provides fast glide and excellent durability. It absorbs wax well and maintains speed across park features, groomers, and flat runouts.
