Why We Like The Optimistic Snowboard
When there hasn’t been fresh snow in weeks, we turn lemons into lemonade with the Yes Optimistic Snowboard. This unique shape was designed with carving in mind, no matter what the snow conditions are like. It pairs a mid-wide waist with an aggressive sidecut and UnderBite technology to deliver a turning experience unlike that which we’ve experienced before. Think intuitive control, serious stability, and unwavering edge hold.
