YES. Snowboards is a manufacturer of snowboards.[1][2] It was founded in 2009 and is based in Europe.[3][4]
The company was founded by UnInc riders DCP (David Carrier-Porcheron), Romain De Marchi and JP Solberg after leaving Burton Snowboards. They created their own brand in collaboration with Nidecker.[3][4] The new company established its name in the industry in a relatively short period of time.
YES. is part of the Nidecker Group, along with Jones Snowboards, Now Bindings, Nidecker, and Flow.[5]
All YES. models were manufactured in the GST factory in Austria before gradually moving production to the SWS factory in Dubai starting in 2014.[6] The GST factory closed in 2016.[7] The YES. designers receive R&D input of some top-level freestyle snowboarders. The 2016-17 catalog consists of fourteen models,[8] which grew to twenty for 2019-20.[9] YES. has also collaborated with Now Snowboarding on bindings, and Globe International on shoes.[citation needed]
