Salomon Women's Oh Yeah Snowboard 26/27
In Stock — Ready to Ship
PTO Verdict
“A soft, forgiving park twin for riders who already link turns and want their first tricks.”
Best for: Beginner to intermediate women who already link turns and want a soft, pressable true twin for boxes, small jumps and butters, riding the same in both directions, in the lighter rider range the 138 to 147 cm cover.
Not for: Riders who mostly carve groomers fast, powder-first riders, and anyone moving up to big jumps: the short sidecut, soft flex and centered twin shape give up edge hold, float and landing support, and a directional all-mountain board or the stiffer No Drama does those jobs better. A complete newcomer is better served by the Lotus. Riders over about 65 kg shopping our stock should know we carry only the 138 to 147 cm.

Description
The Salomon Oh Yeah is a women's true twin freestyle snowboard for 26/27, built for pressing, buttering and small park features. It pairs Rock Out Camber with a soft flex in 138, 143, 147 and 151 cm lengths; the 147 cm has a 242 mm waist and a 7.4 m sidecut radius.
Rock Out Camber is flat between the bindings, cambered near each foot and rockered at the tip and tail. The rockered ends make nose and tail presses easier to hold, and the camber near the feet adds response. Popster milling thins the core inside the insert packs so the board bends underfoot, and Royal Rubber Pads set into the ABS sidewalls damp chatter. Salomon rates the Oh Yeah for beginner to intermediate riders and lists an extruded base.
Skip the Oh Yeah if you mostly ride groomers fast. The sidecut radius runs only 7.0 to 7.6 m, and a soft board gives less edge hold than a stiffer one once speed builds. It is not a powder board either: nose and tail are the same width and the stance is centered, so there is little built-in float. If you are moving up to bigger jumps, the No Drama is Salomon's stiffer women's park board, with Quad Camber and a sintered base. If you have never stood on a snowboard, the Lotus, with detuned Bite Free edges and Flat Out Camber, is the gentler first step.
PTO stocks the 138, 143 and 147 cm, which Salomon sizes for riders from about 35 to 65 kg. The Oh Yeah ships as a bare deck with a 2x4 insert pattern, so bindings are a separate purchase; we mount them, set your stance and help you pick a length for your weight and boot size.

The take
“A soft, forgiving park twin for riders who already link turns and want their first tricks.”
The Salomon Oh Yeah suits a rider who already links turns and now wants to learn the park. Salomon's level rating is beginner to intermediate, and the twin shape rides the same switch, so boxes, butters and small jumps feel the same in either direction.
The closest written test is a 2019-20 review of an earlier Oh Yeah with the same flat, camber and rocker layout. The tester found it easy to handle, poppy and playful, and more stable on bumpy snow than its softness suggested. She also reported that it floated well in powder, a better result than the centered, untapered shape would predict. Her caution was the soft flex for aggressive riders, and she pointed it at riders with some experience rather than at a complete newcomer.
A listing for the previous season's board says it is tuned for park precision rather than float or high-speed carving, which fits its short radius. Riders whose days are mostly long groomer laps will get more from a directional all-mountain board.
Two other Salomon 26/27 boards bracket the Oh Yeah: the Lotus below it and the No Drama above it. The Lotus is the gentler start, a directional twin with Flat Out Camber and fully detuned Bite Free edges. The No Drama is the step up for jumps and transitions, rated stiff, on Quad Camber with a Basalt Booster and a sintered base. Choose by where your riding is heading: still learning to turn, take the Lotus; already hitting the bigger kickers, take the No Drama.
The unisex Salomon Abstract is the other comparison worth knowing. From 138 to 151 cm Salomon lists the same widths and sidecut radius for it as for the Oh Yeah, but with a medium flex, a sintered base and triax glass. A rider who likes this outline and wants more support under her feet can look there.
Sizing the Salomon Oh Yeah starts from rider weight. Salomon lists 35 to 60 kg for the 138 and 143, 45 to 65 kg for the 147 and 50 to 70 kg for the 151, with waists from 238 to 247 mm and S/M bindings recommended at every length. Our stock covers the 138, 143 and 147; the 151 is made, but we do not carry it. We check length and boot overhang with you before we mount bindings.
Bindings we'd pair with it
Mount point: Centered true twin with a 4x2 insert pattern. Our pick: Salomon recommends S/M bindings at every Oh Yeah length.
Bindings are a separate purchase. Our technician confirms the disc fits the inserts when we mount them.
Common Questions
- Salomon Oh Yeah vs No Drama: which should I get?
- The Salomon Oh Yeah is the soft, forgiving women's park twin; the No Drama is rated stiff, uses Quad Camber and has a sintered base. Salomon rates the Oh Yeah beginner to intermediate and the No Drama intermediate to advanced. Pick the Oh Yeah for presses, boxes and small jumps, and the No Drama once bigger kickers are your main lap.
- Salomon Oh Yeah vs Lotus: what is the difference?
- The Salomon Oh Yeah is a true twin built around Rock Out Camber and aimed at park basics, while the Lotus is a directional twin on Flat Out Camber with fully detuned Bite Free edges. A 2027 retail listing rates the Lotus softer. The Lotus is the easier first board; the Oh Yeah fits riders who can already link turns and want to learn tricks.
- What size Salomon Oh Yeah should I get?
- The Salomon Oh Yeah is made in four lengths from 138 to 151 cm, and the Salomon chart gives 35-60 kg at 138 and 143 cm, 45-65 kg at 147 cm and 50-70 kg at 151 cm. Waists run from 238 mm to 247 mm. PTO stocks 138 to 147 cm, and we match length to your weight and boot size before mounting.
- Is the Salomon Oh Yeah good for beginners?
- Salomon lists the Oh Yeah for beginner and intermediate riders, and it works best once you can link turns. An independent 2019-20 test of an earlier-generation board suggested it as a practice board for riders with some experience; on day one, the Lotus is the gentler start.
- What bindings fit the Salomon Oh Yeah?
- The Salomon Oh Yeah has a 4x2 insert pattern rather than a channel, and Salomon recommends S/M bindings at every length. The board ships without bindings, so check that your binding disc suits that pattern. Our technician confirms the fit when we mount your bindings.
