Winner of numerous awards including Transworld's prestigious Good Wood, the Emoticon delivers a ride across the whole mountain that defies belief. Whether cruising groomers playing around in the park or hitting powder stashes, this truly stunning snowboard does things that are unheard of at this price point. Utilising the same construction and design as Yes's highly acclaimed Basic, the Emoticon shares that unique ability to combine pro model performance with entry-level friendliness, making it the perfect choice for riders of all ability levels.

So, what is the secret to the Emoticon's stunning performance? Well, as with the Basic, it lies in the board's innovative Under-Bite edge profile. This unique sidecut shape pulls in the edges under both the toes and heels creating what looks like large divets. Now It's what these divets do to the energy that is transmitted from the rider to the board that transforms how the Emoticon rides. So instead of this energy just radiating out from under the feet and along the sidecut, the Under-Bite directs it straight to the contact points at the tip and tail and into the centre of the sidecut. This energises those contact points resulting in quicker turns and improved edge hold, all without sacrificing that softer more playful flex that makes the Emoticon so much fun to ride.

Now match this with the versatile CamRock profile, which blends a hook free and playful rocker at the tip and tail with a poppy and responsive camber under the feet and it's easy to see why the Emoticon is so versatile.

Internally Yes utilise their durable, mid flex poplar wood core, this gives a lively and poppy feel whilst still delivering that playful and forgiving ride that both the Basic and Emoticon are known for. Carrying this playful theme through the rest of the construction, the structural layers are formed from forgiving Bi-Ax glass. This gives the Emoticon its more forgiving nature and is one of the reasons why so many riders really enjoy this board. Finally to keep things as stress free as possible Yes fit the Emoticon with a low maintenance easy repair extruded base.
