About the YES Snowboard Company
Amongst all of the marketing hype and hyperbole, the fleeting flashes of cool, attributes of attitude, claims on counter claims of technical breakthrough’s, superior graphics, cutting edge design, or space age materials comes a fresh wind of simplicity – YES, it has arrived and so have you.

If there has ever been a case of ‘Been there, done that, ain’t gonna do that again tomorrow…”, then the people who are the heart and soul of the YES Snowboard project surely make then Top 10 on that list and many others to boot. YES, they are some of the most passionate snowboarders to have ever graced the slopes anywhere in the world. YES, they have always given 110% to both the activity of riding and the lifestyle we affectionately call snowboarding. YES, it’s all about the passion! YES, their passion and yours.

Friends, travel and riding partners for the last 10 years, David Carrier Porcheron (DCP), Romain de Marchi and JP Solberg have tirelessly criss-crossed the globe riding every possible terrain and conditions imaginable. YES is the distillation of this voyage, bringing their infatuation of riding and their extensive combined experiences into sharp focus in the boards they design and ride, creating a full bodied cocktail with an exciting and fruity aftertaste!

YES is an independent snowboard company endorsed by NdKreative who have over 20 years experience in board design, , YES doesn’t strive to be No.1, simply a refreshing and real alternative to the stale state of the status quo.

Pool Hopping

Cannonball from California is a place. on Vimeo.

Some of them are full of black water. Others have become graveyards for old lawn furniture and rodent carcasses. They are shaped like jelly beans and manufactured by companies named Sunny Side and Champagne. Once upon a time, Fresno was the California Dream. Own a car. Own a house. Own a pool. Everyone wanted it and the wonderful world of credit made it all possible. But now, with the foreclosure monster running wild, the dream is dry. Thousands of pools are festering in the hot Central Valley sun. For most people this is tragic. But for some, it’s an opportunity.

Have you ever skated a pool? Over the last year we’ve been in the process of building a mini ramp within the walls of our very own Board Barn. Who knows maybe some day we’ll open it up to the public so kids like you will have a place to skate in K-Town…

Get Out There and Surf

Name Tagging with Martha Cooper from hypebeast.tv on Vimeo.

Last month, pioneering Hip-Hop photographer Martha Cooper debuted her newest publication Name Tagging at the OBEY Pop-Up Shop. I got a chance to check it out and was stoked to learn about Martha Cooper and her love for the little tags that you will see all over New York City. In this interview she talks about her passion for taggin and graffiti both present and past.

Name Tagging is available now through Mark Batty Publisher with a retail price of $12.95 it’s a book most of us can afford. *If you like the looks of Name Taggin you should also check out Going Postal.
