Milosport Shop Take
If you asked us to pick the ultimate 'do-it-all' daily driver for riders who want maximum fun without breaking the bank, the YES Basic is always at the top of the list. From lapping the park at Brighton to hunting side-hits at Solitude or laying down groomer carves, this deck handles business everywhere.
Sitting right in that sweet spot at a 5/10 medium flex, it offers the perfect balance of pressable playfulness and high-speed stability. What really makes this board shine is YES’s UnderBite edge technology—by indenting the sidecut outline right beneath your bindings, it redistributes your body weight directly over your edges. You get insane edge grip on icy morning corduroy without needing a stiff, unforgiving board. Combined with a bulletproof core and low-maintenance base, it’s a pure progression machine for beginner to expert riders alike.

Under the Hood
-
CamRock Profile: Features traditional camber between the feet for high-speed edge bite, stability, and ollie pop, transitioning into subtle rocker at the tip and tail for catch-free carving and effortless buttering.
-
UnderBite Edge Tech: Redistributes rider weight and leverage by pulling the edge outline inward beneath the bindings. This creates dedicated pressure zones that boost edge hold and turn initiation without making the board feel grabby.
-
Full Poplar Core: A 100% solid poplar wood core that offers a predictable flex pattern, energetic snap, and long-term structural durability.
-
Biax Fiberglass Layup: Dual-direction glass weave keeps torsional stiffness forgiving, making low-speed maneuvering easy and flat-ground tricks a breeze.
-
Extruded Base: Tough, fast, and extremely easy to repair. It holds wax well while withstanding heavy abuse from rails, boxes, and rock-strewn early season runs.
