Snowboards comparison — 2018-2019 season
Compare two models
How they compare
Both boards are designed for freeride riding. The Yes Hel Yes uses a directional twin shape while the Yes Optimistic is directional. The Yes Hel Yes has a other profile (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile), while the Yes Optimistic uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise).
