Product Info
The pow police are coming for your snowboard! The Yes. 420 Snowboard is rethinking the way we look at a pow stick. Inspired by surfboard design, the 420 focuses on flotation and displacement through wider shapes instead of longer lengths. With a wider waist, the 148cm 420 offers just as much float and surface area as a traditional 160cm in a much more nimble package. Also, the 420's shape is slightly tapered (12mm) which works with the PowRock profile to keep the nose out of the snow - aka less tomahawks. Change the way you look at a pow day and stay high (on top of the snow) with the Yes. 420 Snowboard.
Product Details
Rocker Type
PowRock 6-0-2 – 6 mm rocker blending to flat, 2 mm rocker in the tail. Flat rocker with longer, more directional nose rocker. Nose rocker is pulled further towards the front foot for increased flotation and the ability to get onto pow-covered features.
Flex
Flex Rating: 3.5 (1 Soft - 5 Stiff) – Not too stiff. Not too soft. Perfect for all-mountain shred.
Shape
Directional Wide – Inspired by Steve Lis and the revolution that occurred when kneeboards influenced surfboard design. Powder is all about speed and flotation. Displacement of a board's volume is affected by more than just length. With the 420, YES. was able to get the stability and float normally associated with much longer boards by punching out the waist width and drastically chopping the length. For example, the 148 has the same circumference and base surface as a traditional 160 but its mass is located much closer to your feet resulting in more maneuverability and far less swing weight.
Radial Tapered – A slight taper helps keep the nose up without loosing the tail's ability to hold in hardpack. Stance is only slightly set back from center of effective edge because the difference in nose and tail shovel keeps you from going over the nose.
Core
Weightless Core – The weightless core strikes a critical balance between lightweight and strength. Using a lower density species of poplar in areas that are not as structural and Paulownia in the areas that are, Yes. is able to shave precious weight. This helps a board not only float, but "feel" floaty.
Laminates
Triax – Triax laminate consists of fiberglass that is braided in three directions. Meaning it gives the snowboard an asymmetrical flex with lengthwise stiffness. For you, this delivers a snowboard that has tons of pitch when jumping.
Sidewalls
ABS – Durable, flexible, infinitely reliable.
Base
Sintered Spec – Sintered bases are super fast. Polyethylene pellets are forced together under extremely high pressure. The result is a singular piece of connected pellets with tiny pores across the entire base. Sintered bases absorb hot wax really well.
Die-Cut Base – Base color displayed may not be available. Base colors may vary.

Terrain
Freeride Freeride snowboards are designed for the rider that spends most of the day off groomed runs and in backcountry terrain. They typically have a stiffer flex and are ridden in longer sizes than freestyle snowboards. Freeride snowboards often feature a directional shape that is designed to perform optimally in one direction. Powder Powder snowboards love powder. Often associated with freeride snowboards, powder boards sometimes feature a wider nose and a tapered narrower tail. The binding inserts, which determine the rider's stance, are often set back on a powder snowboard to help the rider float the tip of the board through the deep stuff. Powder snowboards sometimes also feature rocker, a design element where the tip (and tail) rise starts farther back on the board, which also helps the rider maintain tip float through the pow.

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

Flex Rating:
Medium

Flex Rating
Medium The amount a snowboard flexes varies significantly between boards. Snowboard flex ratings are not necessarily standardized across manufacturers, so the flex may vary from brand to brand. Many manufacturers will give a number rating ranging from 1-10, 1 being softest and 10 being stiffest. Here at evo we have standardized the manufacturers' number ratings to a feel rating ranging from soft to very stiff. Generally you will find flex ratings of 1-2 as soft, 3-5 as medium, 6-8 as stiff, and 9-10 as very stiff. Flex ratings and feel may ultimately vary from snowboard to snowboard.
