The Yes Airmaster 3D is a traditional camber twin freestyle board optimised for jumps and park riding thanks to powerful pop and a wide sweet spot. Y3D 3D shaping supports buttering and edge transitions smoothly, but there are limits in aggressive carving and pop off the edge. It's a board to recommend strongly to park-centred riders familiar with camber boards.
Base shape (camber)
Camber
A traditional camber profile with an arched camber between the contact points, and YES's Y3D (a 3BT variant) bevelling the contact points to support edge bite and snow shedding at once. The 3D shaping is mellower than other 3BT implementations.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A flex slightly stronger than medium, with supple flex points at the nose and tail that allow pressing and buttering, and some suppleness in the section between the feet inside the bindings. The midsection is the most stable.
Where it shines
Who it suits
It requires camber board experience, and its aggressive jumping character and pop response make it hard for beginners to handle. It suits intermediate and above riders who can handle camber boards.
Good
- ✓Traditional camber's powerful pop and spring secure high air off jumps
- ✓Wide sweet spots at the nose and tail make buttering and pressing easy, and 3D shaping allows smooth entry and exit with no catching
- ✓Edge-to-edge transitions are fluid and smooth, and excellent midsection stability provides stable riding even on rough snow
Not so good
- —3D shaping reduces edge bite when popping on edge, weakening the spring
- —Insufficient power in deep, aggressive carves leads to washout
