YES TDF (2012) and The Hand Sign (2011) Snowboard Review

tdf-live_309x550
$449
Intermediate to Expert Freestyle to All Mountain
Camber Twin Shape

YES is made by Nidecker and this is a very good thing.  Nidecker has been around since 1984 so their won't be many of the issues comonly associated with a new snowboard company.  Nidecker also makes high quality snowboards.  The TDF and Hand Sign are pretty much the same boards but the TDF has a few changes.  First off the board has a completely new design that looks very similar to the 2012 Jones All Mountain. Second off the TDF has a slightly faster base and is a bit lighter.  This is a solid, high performance, springy snowboard made for going big.  The TDF is pretty much the Burton Uninc that many of the guys from YES used to work on when they were with Burton but sized down for Tadashi.  You basically get the well liked Burton Uninc of old but made in a smaller size.  Burton must be kicking themselves after dropping the YES guys because they seem to be blowing up these days.  If you are looking for a camber all mountain freestyle board then this might be a good choice.

The Good Ride Take

A Quick Look at the TDF

                        

The Good Ride Take On YES Snowboards- Yes has been around now for a few years and has established itself as one of the better hybrid camber snowboards in the US.  We are big fans of hybrid camber because it’s stable between the feet, has good edge hold and is very floaty in powder.    The guys who designed these boards are from Burton and they had Nidecker make the boards.  Nidecker has been around since 1984 and has an amazing reputation in Europe.  They just haven’t found a way to correctly market themselves in the US which is a shame because they make great boards.  YES did have some cosmetic issues with their boards but most of that is behind them now. Our biggest complaint is that we’d like to see Women’s boards and Wide boards from YES as well.   Almost every board from YES is well thought out and usually won’t disappoint.
