YES Warca UnInc PYL Snowboard Guide

The YES Warca UnInc PYL is what happens when you mash up two of YES’s most beloved snowboards: the short-and-wide Warca and the freeride powerhouse PYL (Pick Your Line). The result is a board that blends surfy fun with hard-charging capability, all in a package that looks nothing like your standard directional freeride stick. It’s got that volume-shifted shape for stability and float in deep snow, but packs the edge hold and power of the PYL for carving groomers and steep descents. Basically, it’s the mullet of snowboards: party up front, business in the back.

Who It’s For

  • Riders who want one board that feels surfy in pow but still rails carves like a boss.
  • Intermediate to advanced riders who like to play with creative shapes but don’t want to sacrifice stability and performance.
  • Freeriders who like shorter, wider boards for nimble handling and float.

Who It’s Not For

  • Beginners who’d be better off with something softer and more forgiving.
  • Park riders who need a true twin for switch-heavy tricks.
  • Purists who can’t stand the idea of a weird-looking, short-wide shape.

Key Tech

  • Volume-Shifted Shape – Ride it shorter than your normal board size, but keep the stability thanks to the extra width.
  • CamRock Profile – Camber between the feet for grip and power, rocker in the tips for float and forgiveness.
  • Directional Outline – Inspired by the PYL, built for freeride but with Warca’s playfulness.
  • UnderBite Edges – YES’s signature edge tech that improves edge hold and turn initiation.
  • Sintered Base – Durable and fast, ready for charging steeps or floating in pow.
  • Medium-Stiff Flex – Enough power to handle high speeds, but not a total plank.

Competitors to Consider

  1. Lib Tech Orca – The OG short-wide freeride board, playful yet powerful.
  2. Bataleon Surfer – More surf-inspired with 3BT shaping for float and carving.
  3. Jones Stratos – Directional all-mountain board that balances carving with powder float.
