Expert reviews 1
The Yes Shifter Xtrm Eiki 3D is a park/jib-specific board whose strength is a soft, playful character, with a jib camber construction combining camber underfoot and flat tips/tail. It suits riding centred on small features, butters and presses very well, but it has pronounced limits on large jumps and in hard carving. It can be a forgiving, fun option for intermediate riders progressing in the park.
Base shape (camber)
Hybrid camber
Traditional camber underfoot with the nose and tail tips treated flat — a Jib Camber profile. Y3D technology bevels the contact points, strengthening its catch-free character.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A soft jib board — not a complete noodle, but supple and springy like undercooked pasta. There's more flexibility at the tip and tail with a comparatively stiffer centre. Torsional flex is abundant too.
Where it shines
Who it suits
It suits jib-focused riders and those progressing in the park. Its playful, forgiving character suits progressing riders, though it has limits on advanced jumps and in the halfpipe.
Good
- ✓Wide nose and tail sweet spots make press and butter moves easy
- ✓Y3D bevelling gives it excellent catch-free behaviour, forgiving of mistakes
- ✓Camber underfoot makes loading up easy with ample performance for park carving
- ✓Less chatter and vibration at speed than other jib boards
Not so good
- —A combination of flat sections without carbon causes washout in hard carves
- —Landing stability is lacking on large jumps and in the mini pipe, with a backseat tendency
- —High over-press potential when jibbing kinks means control needs care
- —Less pop and snap than the Shifter Xtrm
