Yes. Splitboards OptiSplitstic Splitboard 2022

Why We Like The OptiSplitstic Splitboard

We accept Yes.’ apology for taking so long to grace us with a splitboard. That’s only because the debut of their OptiSplitstic Splitboard let us know they mean business when it comes to backcountry boarding. Using their Optimistic snowboard as the outline, the OptiSplitstic uses the same directional pintail shape, rigid flex, and tight camber profile to cut through hardpack and skin tracks while loftily gliding over deep powder. Yes. also teamed up with Spark R&D to make special clips that keep the seal tight when the board’s halves are attached ensuring its rigid flex isn’t weakened while riding.

Details

• A no-joke splitboard with an aggressive personality
• True camber profile has a powerful feel with high-traction
• Stiff flex is secure on the skin track and stable when carving
• Directional shape and pintail easily plane over loose powder
• Mixed wood core sheds weight while increasing pop and response
• Underbite tech pulls in the sides underfoot for increased edge hold
• Specialized clips don’t lose rigidity and response when attached
• Sintered base stays moving fast with little need for maintenance
