25/26 season review
The Yes Women's Basic is a beginner/intermediate all-mountain board with a CamRock hybrid profile, usable comfortably across varied terrain including park, carving and buttering. It has no particularly outstanding area, but balanced performance overall and high forgiveness optimise it for helping a beginner's progression.
That said, it has limits in high-speed riding and advanced park use, so an upgrade is recommended as skills grow.
A closer look
These descriptions and scores are linked to this review. They may differ from manufacturer specifications.
Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Hybrid camber
Yes's Cam Rock camber profile: camber through the binding insert zone with rocker at the nose and tail tips — a hybrid layout. The camber section provides pop, stability and propulsion, while the rocker section improves ease of turn entry and exit and forgiveness.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A flex slightly softer than medium. It bends softly and fluidly from nose to tail, and torsional flex matches the overall flex well. It isn't excessively soft, so it prevents wrong-edge mistakes to a degree.

Rider levels suggested in the review
New · Intermediate
A board optimised for beginner to intermediate riders, with an accommodating flex, stability and ease of entering rails and jumps all designed for that level. It has limits in advanced riding such as high-speed carving and big jumps.
What the review liked
- ✓Forgiving, stable ride characteristics suited to beginner and intermediate riders
- ✓A soft, balanced flex that eases getting into the park with butters, rails and jumps
- ✓It handles all-mountain riding overall comfortably, including switch riding
- ✓Excellent carving edge hold at cruising speeds with easy turn initiation
What the review found lacking
- —Stability degrades with wobble in high-speed carving and aggressive riding
- —Tail rocker leaves snap somewhat lacking, making it unsuitable for large jumps or advanced park use
- —The board's name ('Basic') can give a negative marketing impression
