You can point it rather well with the YES Standard Uninc but it isn’t a bomber. They always feel a little slower on same day tests. I wish these had a little more glide to match Jones though. The Base Glide isn’t amazing but it is very competent when well waxed. I had a great time buttering and there was really good spring on an ollie. So the YES Standard Uninc feels softer in the tip/tail than the YES Ghost (previous model with the same shape and camber profile) It also has a more dynamic feel underfoot that flexes a little easier but also pops a little harder. ![]() You can skid turns but it isn’t super easy. It makes for a semi-locked in feel that is a little more than the YES Basic Uninc and a lot more than the YES Standard. The YES Standard Uninc has a lot of camber with a mellow transition into a little early rise before the nose/tail. That makes it feel almost like a tapered board in pow. The tail is shorter and has a lot less surface area and near the end of the tail it is not very wide. The nose is longer and has a good bit more surface area. It is a twin on sidecut so on groomers it feels like a twin. The Directional Volume Twin thing is a pretty cool design. If it comes down to boot size or weight, make sure it fits your boot first and then your weight a close second. You can of course go bigger or smaller but these work best for not turning the board slower than it should be and not having the dreaded Toe & Heel Drag.įor weight I would stay close to YES’s recommended weight ranges. Here are some ideal US boot sizes for these boards. You have an indention at the waist so it is actually much wider over the inserts than you would think. The board did chatter more than it should with his 240lbs but it was doable for sure. At 185-190lbs I felt like I wasn’t too much for this board but on the upper end of it’s limits.ĭavey’s size 12’s worked really well with the 162. With size 9’s, I was a bit small boot wise and the YES Standard Uninc 156 felt a little slow especially compared to the YES Basic Uninc. (We don’t put in the exact weight because with wood cores there is no consistency in a boards weight) Sizing The YES Standard Uninc felt pretty normal for this size/width board. Most days I rode this I often took out the YES Basic Uninc. Close to Reference and Set all the way back. Sance Angles +18/-3 in powder and +15/-15 on groomers.

YES Standard Uninc Review- How it rides and who it is forīorrowed this for an extended demo and sent it back. We do make money from the “Where To Buy” links, but this is our best attempt at an honest and objective review from an average riders’ perspective. If you are more of a mid/wide board size, this is a great one board solution for the advanced to expert rider.Įthics Statement: We don’t get paid by the manufacturer to write these reviews and this is our unfiltered opinion. The YES Standard Uninc has pretty dynamic pop, a centered hard carving stance on groomers and very competent freeride style directional float. Negatives/Swipe Left: A little wide for some boots. Excellent float for an all mountain board. ![]() Everything else is the same so this review still stands. It only has a new size (149 and new graphics) and according to YES the carbon strips were removed. ![]() Update 2024: The Yes Standard Uninc did not change much 2024.
