Is the 26/27 Burton Yeasayer a camber board or a Flat Top?

Camber: the 26/27 spec block lists PurePop Camber, Burton's camber bend with added flat zones. The Flat Top name belongs to older Yeasayers under the same style number, up to 23/24, and it lingered in the 25/26 description after that page's spec block had switched to PurePop Camber. Burton sells the Flying V version as a separate board.

What's the difference between the Yeasayer and the Yeasayer Flying V?

The bend. Burton gives both the same price, size chart and parts list, but the Flying V's rocker zones aim at a looser, floatier ride and carry a 0-20% park bar; this PurePop Camber version, at 0-40%, is the one we read as having more pop.

What size Burton Yeasayer should I get?

Burton's chart runs from 80-120 lb on the 140 to 150-200+ lb on the 152, with the 144 and 148 in between at 100-150 lb and 120-180 lb, and waists of 240 mm (140) to 247 mm (152). Where your weight sits in two or three bands, your boot and riding style decide, and we settle that with you in the shop.

How much does the Burton Yeasayer weigh, and what is its flex rating?

Burton does not publish either figure for the Yeasayer. Its flex information is the Twin flex field, which describes symmetry rather than stiffness, and a personality bar that ends at Happy Medium. Burton also leaves out the flat-zone dimensions and a boot-size range, and no edge or sidewall technology appears on the page.

What binding size fits the Yeasayer?

Burton's 26/27 chart gives every Yeasayer length the same binding size, Women's L (Men's M), where the 25/26 chart listed Women's M for the 140 and 144. Binding size should follow your boot, so we match it at fitting. The board mounts through The Channel, which Burton states is compatible with all major bindings.

Is the Burton Yeasayer good for beginners?

Burton's 26/27 page does not name a riding level; its 24/25 and 25/26 pages said Intermediate. In our reading it suits a rider who can already link turns, and of the 14 Burton boards compared here, the Cultivator, a Flat Top with Easy Bevel, is the one we would start a first-day rider on.

Yeasayer or Talent Scout: which women's Burton twin fits me?

It comes down to terrain. The Yeasayer, at US$529.95, is the whole-mountain board, with All Mountain 0-100%, a softer personality bar, PurePop Camber and Scoop; the Talent Scout, at US$549.95, leans to the park with Park 0-80%, full camber and a sintered base.

PTO Verdict

“Third season on the same PurePop Camber build, with a Park 0-40% bar and a weight band printed for every length.”

Best for: Women who cover the whole mountain in a day and want a twin that stays lively without demanding much, set on the soft side of Happy Medium by Burton's own personality bar. It fits riders who can link turns and want to learn switch, since shape, flex and stance are symmetrical, and riders who want an easy-care base.

Not for: Park-first riders are on the wrong board; Burton holds the park bar to 0-40%. Powder specialists should pick a directional shape over a centered twin with a 0-60% powder bar, whatever the inherited deep-powder line in Burton's description says. First-day riders are better matched to the Cultivator, whose Easy Bevel Burton builds to lift the edges off the snow.

Description

The Burton Women's Yeasayer is a true-twin all-mountain board on PurePop Camber with scooped tips, a build Burton pitches as friendly and fun. Burton's page heading calls it the Yeasayer Camber; before 24/25 this style was a Flat Top. Its description still credits the bend with surfing deep powder, a sentence carried over from the Flat Top's text.

PurePop Camber is Burton's camber with subtle flat zones for extra pop and playfulness, and Scoop turns up the tip and tail edges for what Burton calls a looser, more forgiving, catch-free feel. Women's Specific Triax gives a torsionally softer flex for lighter riders, over a Super Fly 800G wood core and Dualzone EGD grain along the edges. Burton describes the extruded base as fast, strong and low-maintenance.

Burton's bars read 0–100% for All Mountain, 0–60% for Powder and 0–40% for Park, and the personality bar sits between Soft & Playful and Happy Medium. That suits women and lighter riders who ride the whole mountain, including progressing riders learning switch on its centered stance. By our reading, that ease costs some snap off a jump and some bite on a hard, fast carve next to a full-camber board with a firmer personality bar. It is the wrong board for park-first riders, given the 0–40% park bar, and for a true first day, when a flat, beveled beginner board is the gentler start. Deep-snow specialists should look to a directional or powder-specific shape instead.

Burton lists 80–120 lb for the 140, 100–150 lb for the 144, 120–180 lb for the 148 and 150–200 lb and up for the 152, on waists from 240 to 247 mm. Burton does not publish a board weight, numeric flex, 26/27 riding level, flat-zone dimensions or boot-size range, nor name an edge or sidewall technology. The 26/27 chart pairs every length with Men's M or Women's L bindings, where last season's put the 140 and 144 at Women's M, so we size the binding to your boot. The board ships without bindings and mounts through The Channel; bring your boots, and we set up boards bought from us.

The take

“Third season on the same PurePop Camber build, with a Park 0-40% bar and a weight band printed for every length.”

Anyone replacing a 24/25 or 25/26 Yeasayer can stop comparing spec sheets. Burton's pages for those two seasons and for 26/27 list an identical build, and the 26/27 geometry repeats the 25/26 chart length for length.

The Yeasayer Flying V shares this board's size chart, core, glass, base, features and US$529.95 price; the bend is what changes. Burton's Flying V puts rocker between and outside the feet with camber under them, Burton describes a relaxed and floaty feel, and its park bar reads 0-20% against 0-40% here. By our reading, that leaves this PurePop Camber version as the one with more pop from the shared twin shape.

The Yeasayer's other neighbors among the 14 Burton 26/27 boards compared here pull in different directions. The Women's Talent Scout trades whole-mountain range (All Mountain 0-80% against 0-100%) for park range (0-80% against 0-40%) and a sintered base, at US$549.95. The Good Company Camber, which Burton does not title Men's or Women's, keeps the Yeasayer's personality bar on a camber twin with a sintered base and Park 0-100% for US$449.95, though its All Mountain and Powder bars read 0-70% and 0-30%. The Spellbinder, a directional PurePop Camber board with Biax glass and a bar at the Soft & Playful end, also costs US$449.95. The Process, which Burton titles Men's, shares the Yeasayer's PurePop Camber, personality bar and all-mountain and powder bars, adds a sintered base and a 0-70% park bar, and starts at a 143. On price alone, the Yeasayer sits US$80 above the Good Company and Spellbinder and US$20 under the Process and Talent Scout.

The Yeasayer is the easier of the two women's twins to size, because Burton prints a rider-weight band for every Yeasayer length and none for the other women's twin. The bands overlap, so a 120 lb rider falls inside the 140, 144 and 148 ranges and a 150 lb rider inside the 144, 148 and 152; by our reading, the rider's boot and style of riding then settle the length, which is how we fit it in the shop. Heavier riders get a clear answer: the 152 is the only Yeasayer length Burton rates past 180 lb.

What it does well

Its twin shape and flex ride the same in either direction.
Burton designs its Scoop tips and tails to resist edge catches.
Burton's All Mountain bar runs the full 0-100%.
Burton publishes a rider-weight band for all four lengths.
Its build list has not changed across three seasons of Burton pages.
It costs US$20 less than the Talent Scout or the Process.

What it doesn't

Its park bar reads 0-40%; the Talent Scout's reads 0-80%.
Its base is extruded, where the Talent Scout and Process run sintered.
Its powder bar reads 0-60% on a centered, untapered twin.
The 26/27 chart lists Women's L bindings even on the 140.
We read less snap and bite than the firmer, full-camber Talent Scout.
It costs US$80 more than the Spellbinder, another extruded PurePop Camber board.

Best for

Women who cover the whole mountain in a day and want a twin that stays lively without demanding much, set on the soft side of Happy Medium by Burton's own personality bar. It fits riders who can link turns and want to learn switch, since shape, flex and stance are symmetrical, and riders who want an easy-care base.

Not for

Park-first riders are on the wrong board; Burton holds the park bar to 0-40%. Powder specialists should pick a directional shape over a centered twin with a 0-60% powder bar, whatever the inherited deep-powder line in Burton's description says. First-day riders are better matched to the Cultivator, whose Easy Bevel Burton builds to lift the edges off the snow.

Bindings we'd pair with it

Mount point: Centered: stance location 0 on every length; Burton's chart lists stance width at 480 mm (140), 505 mm (144) and 530 mm (148 and 152). Our pick: Sized to your boot at fitting; Burton's Women's Lexa X Re:Flex if you want a firmer binding.

Burton Women's Lexa X Re:FlexFirmer women's strap binding

Burton's women's Lexa X, a strap binding on the Re:Flex mounting system that Burton rates Stiff & Aggressive, a firmer setting than this board's personality bar. A shop suggestion, not an official Burton pairing.

The Yeasayer ships without bindings. Buy the board from us and we mount your bindings and set stance width and angles along The Channel.
