![]() This is a very recommendable ride for those that ride on the east coast. There is exceptional grip with the YES Typo but what makes it even better is the stable feel in hard snow as well. It can buck and bounce a little in soft uneven snow but overall it is a very good all day ride. It flexes easy but isn’t cranky in hard uneven snow. The YES Typo has that rubbery flex that is pretty much ubiquitous throughout the YES line. It’s about the same or maybe a touch better than the Basic and better than the Standard. It pops well but not really well on an ollie and I definitely prefer the Basic Uninc and Standard Uninc better here. The Typo is no exception here and it’s more like a 4.5-5. YES can overexaggerate their flex rating and their boards often are a little softer than their rating. ![]() There is a pretty middle ground flex happening here with the YES Typo. Quickly progressing beginners can handle it too. Yes the Underbite indentions can grab a bit and lead to catching an edge but intermediate riders can easily handle it. It tracks well one footing and flat basing in all conditions. There is a pretty decent amount of camber but not too little rocker to make the YES Typo catchy. You can weight your turns any way you please and it will not wash out. The nose is just a touch longer than the tail and there is a little set back on sidecut. The YES Typo has an almost true twin shape. If it comes down to boot size or weight, I would make sure it fits your boot first and then your weight a close second. You can of course go bigger or smaller depending on your riding style and boot’s footprint, but these work best for not turning the board slower than it should be and not having the dreaded Toe & Heel Drag.įor weight I would stay close to the YES’s recommended weight ranges. Here are some ideal US boot sizes for the YES Typo’s. This doesn’t run that wide so a size 9 can easily turn the 158. Yes I like the turn initiation and stance width of the 155 better but it doesn’t feel as good for my weight and the 158 is pretty good for my boot size too. I wasn’t clear enough in the video review but the YES Typo 158 is the right size for my specs. (We don’t put in the exact weight because with wood cores there is no consistency in a boards weight) Sizing The YES Typo is pretty normal when it comes to weight.

Neither did the boards I compared it against in the video.Įthics Statement: We don’t get paid by the manufacturer to write these reviews and this is our unfiltered opinion. I reviewed a 2023 model but it did not change for 2024. It’s a nice step up from the Basic but a good step below the Basic Uninc.
