The YES. Snowboards 20/20 follows on from the 420’s lineage. It’s a super short, powder-specific board for blasting through deep snow. Available in only 146 or 150 sizes, if you buy one, this will probably be the shortest board you own. It’s a mid flexing, true twin with a sintered base and YES’s 'weightless' Core which not only makes the board floaty, it makes it FEEL floaty as well. All of this is nothing particularly new and we’ve seen it before on the 420. What IS new, is the 'powderhull' shape of the tip and tail. This combines both camber AND rocker profiles, so you have camber control down the edges for power in turns and an exaggerated rocker profile straight down the middle. In theory, this means this super short jibby board can absolutely hammer around through deep snow and is really easy to throw into spins for freestyle trickery.
