YES 2027 Pick Your Line Pro DCP

DESCRIPTION

DCPs choice for chasing powder and steep lines.

The PYL Pro is a no compromise freeride board. Stable. Responsive. (and pretty much) Unsinkable. And for the newcomers, PYL stands for Pick Your Line - and on this board that’s exactly what you can do ... with confidence.

From its younger sibling (The PYL) we beefed up the wood core with some Bamboo (= stiffer flex & better dampening), we added more carbon (= better response & dampening) and added our Coreless Tail technology (= the surfy feeling of a Swallow Tail, but without losing the switch riding versatility and the boards ollie pop & landing gear). It loves to be ridden hard. DCP approved.

FEATURES:

Directional
A directional snowboard is purposefully shaped for optimal performance in one primary direction, typically with a longer nose compared to the tail. This design enhances stability, control, and float in varied conditions, making it particularly well-suited for carving, powder riding, and all-mountain exploration. The asymmetry aids natural turn initiation and provides a more dynamic riding experience when cruising downhill. Suited for riders who prefer a specific orientation for various terrains, a directional snowboard excels in responsiveness, offering a smooth and predictable ride that complements the nuances of specific riding styles and conditions.

CamRock
CamRock is a profile that combines the best of both camber and rocker technologies. The camber section through the middle of the board provides stability and pop, while the rocker in the nose and tail elevates the tips, offering a more forgiving ride and improving float in powder. This design ensures versatility across various terrains. Depending on the specific rocker design, CamRock can be tailored to be directional, enhancing control in one direction, or a twin for a centered profile.

Surge core: POPLAR / PAULOWNIA + BAMBOO CENTRE
The Surge core is made from a 50% Poplar and Paulownia blend with the addition of two Bamboo Stringers from tip to tail through the insert pack. The placement of these Bamboo stringers add more pop and responsiveness to the ride, while the Poplar and paulownia blend offers consistent flex, performance, and weight reduction.

Tapered UnderBite
More floatation and total edge control. Each side of the board’s effective edge is segmented into 3 distinct parts that step horizontally inward rather than tapering. Traditional “tapered boards” take the full sidecut and pull the tail inward, which is away from the arc of your turn. This is why they tend to wash out under hard carving. Tapered UnderBite corrects this by increasing the sidecut depth as you move towards the tail creating a corrective “hook” to the taper. The board blends into turns effortlessly, and has the directional drive and float you’d expect from a tapered board. A Tapered UnderBite Sidecut involves a more pronounced sidecut under the bindings and towards the tail. Benefits include:

• Enhanced Maneuverability: Eases turn initiation and smooth transitions.
• Versatility: Offers the advantages of a tapered shape while maintaining twin or directional twin benefits.
• Increased Float in Powder: Improves performance in powder by enhancing float.
• Reduced “Overturning”: Mitigates the sensation of catching during aggressive turns.
• VS UnderBite : It adds floatability to the board as the tail is tapered. The tail radius is tighter avoiding the tail from washing out. It doesn’t ride as well switch as the tail (new nose) will tend to sink.

Triax Glass
Triaxial or “Triax” fiberglass on a snowboard refers to a fiberglass construction where the fibers run in three directions—usually along the length of the board and at an angle. This configuration adds torsional stiffness to the board, enhancing its overall stability and responsiveness. Snowboards with triaxial fiberglass tend to have a more precise and controlled feel, making them suitable for riders who prioritize stability at higher speeds, improved edge hold, and better performance in challenging conditions. Triax fiber is often found in snowboards designed for advanced and aggressive riding styles.

Carbon 2 V1
Introducing Carbon 2 V1 : True biaxial aerospacial carbon fiber stringers create a dynamic V-shape extending from the front insert pack to the board’s contact points. This V design enhances binding response, increases torsional stiffness, and ensures exceptional stability, particularly enhancing float in the nose. Carbon fiber’s remarkable strength-to-weight ratio guarantees responsive stiffness, improved control, pop, and energy transfer. Carbon 2 V1 delivers superior performance and responsiveness in every turn.

Coreless tail

• Weight Reduction: Removing or altering the core material in the tail will reduce the overall weight of the snowboard. A lighter board can enhance maneuverability and make it easier for riders to control.
• Flexibility and Playfulness: Modifying the core in the tail can create a more flexible and playful feel. This can contribute to a lively and responsive ride, making the board more enjoyable for freestyle maneuvers and tricks.
• Innovative Construction: Coreless tail designs are a part of an innovative construction approach aimed at pushing the boundaries of snowboard design. Manufacturers often experiment with materials and shapes to offer riders new and unique experiences on the mountain.
