YES Snowboards is manufacturer of snowboards.[1][2] It was founded in 2009 and is based in Europe.[3][4]

History

The company was founded by DCP, Romain De Marchi, JP Solberg and Tadashi Fuse who all got fired from their jobs at Burton Snowboards and created their own brand in collaboration with Nidecker.[4][3] The new company established its name in the industry in a relatively short period of time.

Models

All YES models were manufactured in the GST factory in Austria before gradually moving production to the SWS factory in Dubai starting in 2014.[5] The GST factory closed in 2016.[6] The YES designers receive R&D input of some top-level freestyle snowboarders. The 2016-17 catalog consists of fourteen models.[7]
