YES 2020 420 Powder Hull Snowboard – 154cm – Sale Yes

DESCRIPTION

The YES. 420 PowderHull may just be the most innovative directional powder board on the planet. The 3D PowderHull utilises hydrodynamics to generate an incredible amount of float. The deep concave at the nose draws air under the board causing lift; the concave at the tail accelerates the release of snow causing the tail to drop — making it near impossible to sink. The narrower outline of the 420 PH allows extreme versatility and enables a wide range of riders to be comfortable on this one length. Refined waist width and sidecut make it more responsive than the 420, while longer effective edge gets more bite into the hardpack. The Weightless Core was designed specifically for the 420 and 20/20, striking a critical balance between lightweight and strength.

FEATURES:

PowderHull
The 3D PowderHull starts with a base profile combining two distinct rocker lines that when blended together create a pronounced base concave in the nose and tail. The centerline is fully rockered starting from the insert packs, all the way to the tips of the bluntly shaped nose and tail. Out at the contact edges is a more conventional base profile that is used on many other Yes. boards. The resulting concave across the nose and tail acts differently at the leading end of the board than it does at the trailing end when riding in deep snow. At the leading end (nose), the concave draws air under the board – just as a concave spoon-nose does on long boards in the surf – causing list and flotation. As the snow moves across the base, it releases off the tail and the exaggerated rocker line along the center, causing the tail to drop downward.

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.

PH Sintered True Base
Pellets or course powder is pressed until it forms a solid. There are several suppliers for our entire industry and they each have different codes for them, depending on the color and transparency. These codes can make it seem like you’re getting many different kinds and grades of sintered but they’re all pretty much the same as far as you and I will ever tell. True Sintered is harder and more expensive than extruded and it can be faster for those that ride aggressively fast. But to do that, it needs to be waxed and prepared for local conditions.
