Whether you're navigating tight Aussie gums or wide-open alpine bowls, the PYL offers a unique blend of high-speed stability and surfy agility that lets you commit to your line with absolute authority. The 2027 YES Pick Your Line (PYL) remains the undisputed king of freeride royalty, a deck refined over years of global exploration by DCP (David Carrier Porcheron). It's built for the rider who looks at a technical face and sees a series of creative opportunities rather than obstacles. Whether you're navigating tight Aussie gums or wide-open alpine bowls, the PYL offers a unique blend of high-speed stability and surfy agility that lets you commit to your line with absolute authority. FEATURES Tapered UnderBite: Most tapered boards lose their grip as the tail narrows, but the PYL solves this. By stepping the sidecut inward at the binding zones, it increases edge leverage and pressure, giving you insane edge hold and drive through the tail while maintaining the effortless float of a powder board. Directional CamRock 1-4-1 Profile: With a dominant camber section between the feet for power and stability, and a subtle rocker in the tip and tail for lift, this profile ensures you stay on top of the deep stuff without sacrificing the "snap" needed for aggressive carving. Fluid Core: This lightweight, high-performance core is tuned specifically for freeriding. It provides a damp, composed feel that eats up chop and chatter, keeping your legs fresh when the conditions get "variable." Carbon 1 FR Stringers: Strategically placed carbon reinforcements increase torsional response and energy transfer. This means when you load up a turn, the board recoils with a predictable, energetic pop that rockets you into the next transition. Sintered True Base: Designed for those who never want to be stuck on a flat cat-track. This high-density, porous base absorbs massive amounts of wax for elite-level glide and durability against hidden sub-surface "surprises."

W sizes feature a wider waist for riders with US 10.5+ boots or those who prefer reduced toe/heel overhang. Sizing Tip The YES PYL is designed to be ridden at your regular freeride length — you don't need to size up like you would on a powder-specific shape. The Tapered UnderBite geometry and 10mm setback do the work that extra length normally would. Choose your standard all-mountain length for a more nimble, versatile ride; size up slightly if you prioritise maximum float and stability on longer, faster lines and open big mountain terrain.
