Yes Basic vs Yes First Pow
Snowboards comparison — 2023-2024 season
How they compare
the Yes Basic leans more all mountain, while the Yes First Pow leans more powder. The Yes Basic uses a twin shape while the Yes First Pow is directional. The Yes Basic has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Yes First Pow uses rocker (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel). The Yes Basic is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range.

Yes Basic
Yes’s park/all-mountain staple with a crowded used market. Price condition, not the season sticker. Basic UnInc RDM is a different, more limited board — do not treat a blem or wide as automatically worth more.
