Summary
The Yes. Public Snowboard is the one to be considered. It has some really nice features such as the concave shape and zero camber. This keeps the board very neutral yet responsive enough.
Responsive snowboards are hard to find because if a board is responsive enough then you will have to compromise on the strength and neutrality of the board. The engineers at Yes. realized this problem and they decided to make a responsive yet durable board which is perfectly neutral. Resultantly, the company came up with the Yes. Public Snowboard.
It might seem funny, but Yes. itself says that the board is designed for such a terrain which is not meant to be ridden. This shows that this board only for hardcore snowboarders. Let’s look at its other features.

Radial Outline Design
The shape is what matters the most in snowboarding. Due to this feature of a board, one is able to perform new tricks and stunts. The Yes. Public Snowboard has a radial outline which is more commonly known as the “True Twin Shape.” The special aspect of this shape of the board is that both the ends of the board are identical and the center has a radial sidecut.
This symmetrical shape gives the board an interactive look and allows the rider to handle the board comfortably. The flex is identical on either end of the board which gives complete freedom of doing stunts and tricks.

Poplar Base Material
Expert and hardcore snowboarders know the fact that wood is the best material for any type of surfing or boarding such as snowboarding. Although cheap wood fulfills the requirement of it, unfortunately, it makes the board very heavy. Poplar wood is the solution to it. You might find the board a little expensive due to this but then one must compromise on price for the quality.
The Public Snowboard has a baseline which is made of 100% Poplar. Layered structure imparts strength to the board while the board stays lightweight. This type of wood is also less affected from water so your board remains durable and long lasting.
