The YES Women's Drive 2027 is a high-performance all-mountain snowboard built with a freestyle mindset. New to the YES lineup, the Women's Drive combines traditional camber precision with modern shaping to create a board that feels confident when charging, yet energetic and fun when cruising your home resort. It's a refined balance between control and creativity — built for riders who want one board to do it all.
Where the men's Drive goes with a clean flat base, the Women's Drive adds YES 3D nose and tail shaping — a key difference. The 3D profile divides the nose and tail into three distinct flat surfaces at the contact points, similar in concept to the base of a spoon. This softens edge transitions, improves float in softer snow, reduces edge catching in variable conditions, and gives the board a more forgiving, fluid feel — making the Women's Drive better suited to the varied terrain and snow quality of Australian resort riding. High Camber underfoot gives you full contact energy storage through turns and explosive pop on take-off, without the 3D shaping compromising that power where it counts.
The Directional Twin shape keeps it switch-capable and freestyle-versatile, while the Multi Radius Sidecut blends different radii through the arc for smooth initiation and consistent hold. The Mid-Wide waist provides float in soft snow and reduces toe/heel drag on deeper carves. The Torrent Core uses 20% Poplar and 80% Paulownia — lighter than a standard blend, with responsive flex and strong energy transfer. Triax fibreglass provides torsional stiffness and stability at speed. Freestyle L Fiber Reinforcement places carbon stringers in an L-shape from the insert pack to the tip, enhancing nose stiffness and pop. Forever Flex manufacturing stabilises the flex and rocker profile for the board's lifetime.

YES 3D Nose and Tail:
YES 3D technology shapes the base into three distinct flat surfaces at the nose and tail contact points — a geometry developed for smoother edge engagement and more forgiving performance across variable snow. Where a flat base snaps into an edge and can catch in inconsistent snow, the 3D profile gradually introduces the edge for a more controlled, fluid transition. In soft snow it improves float and reduces drag at the tips. On variable or choppy terrain it reduces the likelihood of unexpected edge catches. The result is a board that feels more intuitive and forgiving in the conditions Australian resorts typically produce — without sacrificing the High Camber power underfoot where you want it.
