The PYT is much more than just a pretty young thing—it’s a stiff park stick that was powerful and rode steadily in Winter Park’s Dark Territory. It had a rocker-dominant profile that powered off booters, both mini and massive. Its wavy Magne-Traction edges locked down turns and gripped the sides of the pipe. The true twin shape has blunted tips that reduce swing weight while giving the deck it’s own look. “This board had a different shape that I was skeptical about, but it ended up being a blast!” said one tester. “It’s a sturdy board with minimal chatter. Stiff, but still playful. I didn’t want to stop riding it!”

From our testers: “Ladies who like a bit of a stiffer, more solid ride for a park board, and perhaps have large feet. It rides best in pipe or off large jumps.”

Length (cm) — Sidecut Radius (m) — Waist Width (cm)

139 — N/A — 23.5
143 — N/A — 23.5
147 — N/A — 23.5
152 — N/A — 24.0

Flex: Medium-soft

Camber: Hybrid (zero between inserts, reverse to tips)

(Flex is not standardized and differs by brand. The rating here is the best estimate of the board’s flex.)

(Sidecut Radius: The measure of how deep or shallow the arc of a board’s edge is from the tips to the middle, in meters. A smaller radius, around six to seven meters means a board will generally turn tighter. As the radius number increases, a board can be expected to make wider turns. Multiple numbers on the same length board means the radius is blended.)
