The BOARDWORLD Forums ran from 2009 to 2021 and are now closed and viewable here as an archive
Trade show season is upon us, and SIA is less than a couple of weeks away. 2014 catalogues are already starting to do the rounds on the mighty interwebs. Rumors are circulating, and gear whores have their froth on.
So it seems an appropriate time for all you Boardworld proddy frothers (you know who you are) to get your snow geek on, and go nuts posting pics and specs of future goodness!!!
I’ve also set up a 2014 product thread for images and information only here. Please start by posting all your news here, try and restrict the majority of your comments, questions and conversations - so the other thread can have more of an organised feel to it, with mostly just pics, specs and descriptions. We’ll move stuff over as it shows up here.
Remember that Boardworld supports local retailers, so try not to post anything which may be considered confidential. When brands are OK with posting pics on their own Facebook, blog or Instagram pages, or trade show snaps start appearing on other web pages - then we’re good to go too.
I’ll kick things of with the new 2014 YES Helen Schettini pro model, called “The Hel”.
Stunning looking board with performance to match? HEL YES!
This shot was taken at the Canadian Know Show.
To the left is the 2014 PYL - the graphic is overlaid onto wood veneer.
My guess is they were running late on production samples of the 2014 Asym (Greats replacement) and 2014 Jackpot (which looks AWESOME!) weren’t on display (they still had the 2013 models) - or they wanted to hold off on showing them until the SIA show.
Girls are going to be all over The Hel. Great move by YES and they nailed it with the graphics. Michelle has wanted a YES board for a while now. She is going to froth on this!
* Must not show Michelle this thread otherwise it’s going to cost me. Haha.
* Must get image of Hel Yes to Michelle!!!!!
Must not show Michelle this thread otherwise it’s going to cost me.
Something tells me, that’s a massive understatement.
(C’mon, who are we kidding here - enjoy your new HEL YES, Michelle!)
I think Michelle needs to rock one of these on her new HEL YES:
Nikita Explorer Jacket with zip-off sleeves.
Hahaha thanks chucky. I just bought her a new 3CS kit, so we might just hold off on that one.
I reckon Helen Schettini’s board deserves Helen Schettini’s bindings.
These 2014 NOW’s should do just nicely.

Anyone got the english version of the new DC catalogue yet? Want to see if there are any changes in the boards for this season tech wise otherwise I reckon I prefer the graphics on last seasons.
^ Yeah, I’ve got it (the 2014 PLY graphic is really impressive!) - but I’ve only got the Mac version.
Post it, I don’t care if it’s in iOS Manbearpig if it’s in English I want to see it PUHHHLEEEASE!
http://www.zuzupopo.com/xe/catalog/84523 here you go buddy.
Gee skip, you could’ve let me draw it out for a little longer.
This is the Endeavor/Archetype “Tie-Fighter”. It’s all white - and all kinds of awesome.
I soooooooooooo want one for the next time I shred Hoth!
That Hel board is killer! love the graphics and are similar design to what my next tattoo is going to be…after i get my feet done.
Cheers Skip, musta been easier to find when not using OS X Sasquatch or OS X Koalarapist.
