A directional freeride destroyer, the Hel Yes was redesigned this season with UnderBite sidecuts (envision reverse serrated edges), which our testers found created more arc and traction for grippy edge hold. The updated poplar and bamboo core made it light and easy to maneuver through narrow couloirs and tight trees while dodging ski patrollers. Camber between the feet and rocker in the tip and tail made it stiff yet snappy, and it felt floaty in pow. One Good Wooder said, “Awesome board that’s quick edge to edge, yet stable and dependable. Great to carve, fun to jump, and slashes smooth as butter!”

From the testers: “I knew from the start this board and I were going to be besties. It felt really stable but it was also playful and easy to butter. This board can handle it all. YES!”

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

146 — 6.7 — 23.9
149 — 6.9 — 24.1
152 — 7.1 — 24.2
155 — 7.3 — 24.4

Flex: Medium-stiff

Camber: Hybrid (regular camber between inserts, reverse near 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.)
