Snowboarders Go Tropical for the Summer

YESnowboard is making waves in the snowboard industry. Known for affordable, yet solid design and build quality, the boards are equally fun-inspiring as the YES team riders are. Gone are the boring board, distribution and marketing meetings of old-school snowboard companies, and in are debaucherous, hard rippin’ and “family-style” tropical work vacations.

In these videos, the Yes team meets up in El Salvador to hit the waves for some good surf, knock-back shots, and ohhh yeah, have business meetings.

Freakin’ hilarious to watch, it inspires us to go travel, discover new locations, and maybe even dream about having business meetings as relaxed as this. Careful though, there is some foul language in there. If you’re sensitive to F-bombs and the like, maybe don’t watch them.

Slytech Protected Romain de Marchi leads the charge… check it:

ABOUT ME:
I was born near my town in kezmarok. I started skiing when i was 3 years old. When i was 11 i start to race but it was just for fun. I couldn’t place well back then, because I was a late bloomer and was too small for my age. ;( But now that I’m older and work hard, it’s getting better and I’m starting to get some results :)  I always want to work harder and smarter to become better and hopefully soon, I’ll be THE BEST :)
My hobbie is bike racing street car racing and other adrenaline sports :)

FILMS:
I like to watching a lot of comedy, but then I also like The Secret.

SOMETHING YOU THINK EVERYONE SHOULD TRY IN THEIR LIFETIME:
We are here on this Earth not so, so I believe everybody should go for their dreams! I believe the motto that all that we are is a product of our thought. What we allow ourselves to think about will eventually manifest.

FAVORITE MOVIE:
The Secret

CRAZIEST DREAM:
I dream a lot, especially when I eat a large dinner. Typically I dream about cars — Ferrari’s to be exact. I also dream about skiing and getting huge air off a ramp… right at the landing I wake up in a cold sweat.

AGE YOU LEARNED TO SHRED:
3 years old.

WHAT EXCITES YOU?:
Standing on skis on a hard snow or ice, knowing it’s up to me to shape my run. I love that feeling. Chicks excite me too. :D

Awesome Park Video from the Boys at USC

You’ve got to just love the solid video work and high-flying action. It takes some solid dedication to get these shots and of course several takes on the moves, before you have enough to piece it all together and make a sweet lil youtube vid like this.

No doubt, crashes and spills were abundant on this shoot. From what we gather, there were no serious injuries, possibly due to the guys using solid back protection and of course helmets.

Ride on!
