This is the Hybrid Snowboard by Yes.
THE WIZARD OF BOARDZ
The Hybrid board is the scandalous love child of the legendary 420 and PYL boards, gaining immediate attention upon its release last year. It combines the shorter/wider surface planning of the 420 with the innovative Tapered UnderBite outline from the PYL. This results in a floaty and maneuverable board with confident edge hold and responsive snap out of turns. The Hybrid has become a popular choice, offering the perfect blend of its two influential predecessors. Designed by Mark Kowalchuk, the board features a snow wizard conjuring more snow in the powdery forest, guided by the northern lights illuminating the night.

OUTLINE
TAPERED UNDERBITE
Similar looking to “wings” or bumps on a surfboard, it functions a little different on snow. Each side the board’s effective edge is segmented into 3 distinct parts that step horizontally inward rather than tapering. Traditional “tapered boards” take the full sidecut and pull the tail inward, which is away from the arc of your turn – this is why they tend to wash out under hard carving. The Tapered UnderBite corrects this by: 1) keeping the sidecut parallel to its corresponding one on the other side of the board. 2) Increasing the sidecut depth as you move towards the tail creating a corrective “hook” to the taper. The board blends into turns effortlessly, has the directional drive and float you’d expect from a tapered board
CORE
POPLAR/PAULOWNIA/BAMBOO
Creating a lighter, more responsive core than the Full Poplar. The Poplar + Bamboo uses the same durable core, lightens it up by replacing 30% of the Poplar with Paulownia and then inserts two bamboo stringers down the full length for added pop and response.

BASE MATERIALS
SINTERED TRUE
Just like it says. 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.
