UPDATE: Check out our review of the 2019/2020 YES PowInc here
For the last couple of winters, the brilliantly-named YES FunInc has been one of the finest kids’ boards out there. However, its freestyle focus will perhaps under-serve the legion of emerging pow-groms, which grows larger with each passing year.
For the guys at YES (many of whom have kids of their own, the answer was simple; take the ever-popular YES 420, scale it down, tweak the specs, and hey presto – you have the YES PowInc kids’ snowboard.
“The YES PowInc is all about the shape, designed to be ridden shorter and wider than most kids’ models”
[monetizer101 search=’yes pow inc’]
As is the case with most grom versions of adult models, the YES PowInc doesn’t share the same tech as its progeny: the core has no lightweight paulownia wood, and is instead 100% poplar; the fibreglass is biax rather than triax; and it has an extruded base rather than sintered. In this regard, it has more in common with the FunInc.
He reasons for that are obvious; a growing mini-shred has less use for more advanced features, and parents aren’t as willing to shell out for something that will eventually be outgrown. Furthermore, a softer, more malleable deck is actually better suited to a grom anyway.
