Not sure how I feel about naming a board the "Cream Xtrm". The Greats graphics look awesome, though.

Not sure it would be appropriate to make Halldor stuff w/o innu endos.

At this point, I think YES is just trolling with their naming conventions. At least they got rid of the alphabet soup that was the YES PYL DCP Uninc name, lol.

Yes is no longer the company they started out as. They were a bunch of guys going huge in the backcountry ripping pow and filming with Absinthe.

Since the Lobster/NOW merger if feel they have for sure moved more towards park/freestyle. which isn't a bad thing or a critique of them, just a noticeable change, but it ,makes sense when the Nidecker Group has Jones to cover pow/freeride.

Makes me wonder if Dustin Craven is going to be looking for a new board sponsor....

It's a noticeably terrible change, and I dear sirs am not here for it.

Also the new Basic shape (which they don't label as "new shape" when they did so to other ones) is ABD 🙄, and RDM nowhere to be found?

Is it missing pages? Starts on 6. Lots of longer-standing YES models dropped for Lobster ones (Typo, Jackpot).

JPS missing too. Un Inc branding almost entirely wiped; only the pigs on a few Greats. Lobster vibe in general is worse IMO.

XTRM is confusing. Sometimes it's stiffer, sometimes not. Often carbon, sometimes not. Sometimes just limited edition.

I loved the whole vibe around YES during their first few seasons. While the team is still sick, I kinda hate this new direction they’ve been driven down.
a bit of taper, a lot of camber
