The Airmaster is a dynamic all-mountain freestyle snowboard featuring a YES specific Y3D base profile on a directional twin shape. Designed for powerful riders who do it all. Airmaster carbon layup. This Carbon Layup configuration delivers the side flex of your bindings to the woodcore in a more direct way. Adding more feeling in transitions and when pressing.
SHAPE: DIRECTIONAL TWIN
A directional twin snowboard combines the freestyle versatility of a twin shape with a slight directional emphasis. While featuring a symmetrical shape for switch riding, it incorporates a subtle directional aspect, such as a slightly longer nose or setback stance, enhancing performance in one primary direction. This design maintains a playful feel for freestyle maneuvers while optimizing stability and control, particularly in powder or variable conditions. Ideal for riders who enjoy the park but desire enhanced performance on groomers or in specific terrains, a directional twin provides a versatile compromise between freestyle agility and directional stability.
PROFILE: CAMBER
This is the classic camber profile where the center of the board is raised off the snow, and the contact points are closer to the bindings.
Offers good edge control, stability, and pop.
Can be less forgiving than other profiles, making it better for advanced riders or those who prefer a more aggressive riding style.
1. EXTRUDED
YES Snowboards' extruded bases are durable, low-maintenance, and cost-effective, making them ideal for beginner and casual riders. Created by melting polyethylene pellets and molding them, these bases have lower porosity, requiring less waxing and simplifying tuning. While sintered bases offer higher performance, extruded bases provide a smoother learning curve and forgiving ride in various conditions.
2. POPLAR/PAULOWNIA
YES Snowboards' Poplar/Paulownia core is crafted from 50% Poplar and 50% Paulownia. Poplar offers lightweight consistency and flex, enhancing agility. Paulownia, even lighter, ensures weight reduction while maintaining strength. This blend creates a lightweight, responsive, and durable snowboard, perfect for various riding styles and conditions.
3. CARBON LAYUP AIRMASTER
This Carbon Layup configuration delivers the side flex of your bindings to the woodcore in a more direct way. Adding more feeling in transitions and when pressing.

FOREVER FLEX
Forever Flex is a manufacturing process that helps stabilize the flex and rocker profile of a board for its lifetime. Our boards now finish the first stages of production slightly overbuilt and then we “break them in” using a specialized machinery that mimics extreme riding use. By flexing the fresh board fibers and epoxy at the factory the materials settle into their final arrangement within the board layup much the same as if you rode the board for 20 days. This process helps us narrow our production tolerances so the board you buy has a more accurate specified flex and rocker profile that will change less as you ride it more.
FLEX
Perfectly symmetrical shape for balanced riding, equally versatile both when used regular and when used in switch. Great balance between feline stability and freestyle mobility, no matter which way you point it.
