Yes Optimistic vs Yes Pyl
Snowboards comparison — 2018-2019 season
Compare two models
How they compare
the Yes Optimistic leans more freeride, while the Yes Pyl leans more powder. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. The Yes Optimistic has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Yes Pyl uses other (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile).
