Snowboards comparison — 2022-2023 season
How they compare
Both boards are designed for powder riding. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. Both feature camber profiles — arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise. Both are rated 8/10 flex (stiff).

What to inspect and what not to confuse when buying used. Not on-snow reviews.
Yes’s directional powder 420. Used examples are scarcer than Basics and get mixed with Hybrid or All-In searches. 420 PH is a different listing — confirm the name on the topsheet, and inspect the nose and tail rather than paying for the number alone.
