Same Model, Different Year
Product Info
So you've caught the carving bug; it's finally cool again to hit the groomers and lay over euro-carves like a champ; but you don't want to be that hoser buying a board specifically for that purpose. Good thing there are options like the Yes. Optimistic Snowboard; this directional gripper will rail on the hardpack, slash the crud, and blast airs without any hesitation. The Carbon Powerdrive, which offers snappy bamboo core inserts wrapped in carbon, provides ample energy to turn on a dime, dive in pow, and slash like a champ.
Product Details
Rocker Type
CamRock 2-4-2 – Rocker in the tip and tail, camber underfoot.
Flex
4.5 – (1 Soft - 5 Stiff)
Shape
Directional Underbite – Creating divots inward at the binding area reduces and disrupts the surface area of the edge that has contact with the snow while the board is turning. This increases the edge pressure by distributing your weight/energy in the areas where you need it -- from the binding out, and through the center of the board where the carving arc is taking place. This segmentation of the sidecut into 3 key zones focuses your body weight onto areas that initiate, hold, and release turns.
Core
Carbon Powerdrive 2.0 Core – Lighter weight poplar and paulownia composition. Milled channels are filled with bamboo stringers wrapped in carbon. Responsive core that precisely matches and compliments the outlines of each board.
Laminates
Triaxial Fiberglass
Base
Sintered True – Pellets or course powder is pressed until it forms a solid. True sintered is harder and more expensive than extruded and it can be faster for those that ride aggressively fast. Takes wax well.
Binding Compatibility
2 x 4 Insert Pack

Terrain:
All-Mountain, Freeride

Terrain
All-Mountain All-mountain snowboards are designed for exploring the whole mountain. They are your go-to for a snowboard that will do anything. They feel at home on groomers, powder, park runs and almost anything in between. The vast majority of snowboarders choose all-mountain boards for their great versatility. If you’re just getting started or unsure of exactly what you need, an all-mountain snowboard is a great choice. 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.

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:
Camber/Rocker/Camber
More
Rocker Type
Camber/Rocker/Camber Camber/Rocker/Camber is a profile that’s specific to snowboards and which works because the rider’s weight flattens the two cambered areas. This design produces a strong, pressured carving zone between the rider’s feet and retains pop and carving precision at the tip and tail.

Flex Rating:
Very Stiff
More
Flex Rating
Very 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.
