K2 Standard vs Yes Basic

How they compare

Both boards are designed for all mountain riding. The K2 Standard uses a directional twin shape while the Yes Basic is twin. The K2 Standard has a flat_rocker profile (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel), while the Yes Basic uses hybrid (rocker/camber) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). The Yes Basic is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. The K2 Standard targets intermediate riders while the Yes Basic is aimed at advanced riders. At $429.95 vs $449.95 MSRP, the K2 Standard is the more budget-friendly option.
