Where to buy Yes. Basic:

Evo

Backcountry

If you’re looking to get an all mountain snowboard that has high value performance on a low budget, then the Yes. Basic is the board for you. The shorter, symmetrical board is also great in the park.

With a medium flex board is meant to be ridden fast and remain stable under most all snow conditions while providing a responsive and smooth feel due to the CamRock profile.

Camber underfoot helps with navigating the park and popping on jumps while the rocker tip and tail make it easy to float through powder. This is a do it all board that will have you happily ripping through all types of terrain, knowing that you didn’t break the bank to buy it.

Overall, we recommend buying this board if you are someone who is looking for one that does a little bit of everything while maintaining the playfulness of a park board. If you are looking for a board that navigates the steeps and icy terrain, we recommend a board with specs that are more so designed to do that.
