Product Info
As relaxed as the Yes. 420 Snowboard might appear, it was built to take powder seriously and surf the great white wave like none other. Its shorter length, staunch width, and tapered sidecut brought the fusion of surf and snowboard design to the masses, keeping you afloat while also remaining stable at speed. The 420 focuses the board's mass close to your feet for quick turns and perfect maneuvering through trees, making it a super playful, action-packed ride you'll enjoy from a 3" refresh to a full-on white room session. Are you prepared for it to change you?
Product Details
Rocker Type
PowRock 6-0-2 – Aggressive rocker in the tip, flat underfoot, and slight rocker in the tail.
Flex
Flex: 3.5 – (1 Soft - 5 Stiff)
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 for example, Yes. is able to get the stability and float normally associated with much longer boards by punching out the waist width and drastically chopping the length. A slight taper helps keep the nose up without losing the tail's ability to hold in hardpack. Stance is only slightly set back from center of effective edge because the different in nose and tail shovel keeps you from going over the nose.
Radial – Back in the day, asymmetrical boards meant you had to choose between a regular or goofy-stance board. Not only was that a nightmare for retailers, it didn't suit anyone with a duck stance - which is everyone now. The Asym Twin applies a tighter, deeper heelside radial sidecut compared to the toe. In effect balancing out the difference in a body's natural tendency to over-turn the toe edge and allowing you to ride switch better than ever.
Core
Weightless Core – The Weightless Core strikes a critical balance between light weight and strength. Using a lower density species of Poplar in areas that are not as structured and Paulownia in the areas that are, Yes. was able to shave precious weight. This helps the board not only float, but "feel" floaty.
Laminates
Triax Glass
Base
Sintered Spec – This is the term Yes. uses for the grey zone many companies play in. They call it Sintered Spec because of both its hardness, chemical and its on-snow performance properties, which are very close to true sintered -- but it is formed using the extrusion process. How? The raw material is actually pre-consumer recycled (meaning it never left the factory) sintered base material. So while the heating and extrusion process has softened it slightly, it's still much harder than true Extruded.

Terrain:
Freeride, Powder

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.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Flat/Rocker
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Flat/Rocker Rocker/Flat/Rocker is another variation on the rocker theme that seeks to provide a little more hard snow edgehold and pop than full rocker while retaining ease of turning and float. Performance is between a fully rockered board and a flat board.

Flex Rating:
Stiff
More
Flex Rating
Stiff 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.
