History

The company was founded by Un...Inc riders DCP (David Carrier-Porcheron), Romain De Marchi, JP Solberg and Tadashi Fuse who were fired from Burton Snowboards and created their own brand in collaboration with Nidecker.[4][3] The new company established its name in the industry in a relatively short period of time.

Models

All YES. models were manufactured in the GST factory in Austria before gradually moving production to the SWS factory in Dubai starting in 2014.[5] The GST factory closed in 2016.[6] The YES. designers receive R&D input of some top-level freestyle snowboarders. The 2016-17 catalog consists of fourteen models[7], which grew to twenty for 2019-20[8]. Current (2019/20) collaborations exist with Now Snowboarding on bindings, and Globe International on shoes.

gollark: It's not a hard problem. I'm not doing it in my head.
gollark: But somehow SO MANY PEOPLE don't get it. They just say "HELP ME IT IS DIFFICULT MATHS IS THIS VIRUS" or "WHAT IS THIS I DO NOT KNOW MATHS WHAT IS SEMIPRIME" and stuff.
gollark: I thought "well, this is an easy problem, you just need to duckduckgo 'factorize number' or use the `factor` command".
gollark: You know potatOS? To uninstall it, you need to solve a simple problem to stop automatic uninstallation (computers can do it easily but due to technical things user code can't actually *read* the problem it prints). Specifically, it generates a 10-digit semiprime and asks you to factorize it.
gollark: Never underestimate people's stupidity.
