Board Type: All Mountain-Freeride All Mountain snowboards are versatile boards that excel across various terrains, from groomed runs to off-piste. These boards offer solid edge control and responsiveness, making them a great option for riders who want one board to do just about everything. Freeride snowboards are built for steeper, off-piste terrain. These boards are ideal for aggressive riding and usually for more advanced riders. Flex: 6.5/10 (1=soft, 10=stiff) Offering a balanced blend of flexibility and stiffness, mid-flex boards are versatile and suitable for all-mountain riding. They provide enough responsiveness for carving while maintaining some forgiveness for playful or casual riding. Ability Level: Advanced Advanced snowboards are stiffer and more responsive, designed for high-speed control, precision riding, and handling challenging terrain or tricks. Shape: Directional A directional snowboard has a shape designed for riding primarily in one direction, with a longer nose and a shorter, more compact tail. This design provides better control, stability, and float in powder, making it ideal for freeride and all-mountain riding. It offers optimal performance when riding forward, with a focus on carving and downhill runs. Camber Type: Alpine V1 Directional + Flat Kick Tech CAPiTA's Alpine V1 Directional + Flat Kick Tech profile incorporates mid-body camber, a flat tail, and a reverse cambered nose. This combination offers enhanced pop and stability on hard pack while boosting float and landing power, optimizing performance in deep snow. The camber extends further in the tail, delivering additional power for uphill climbs or for larger riders seeking a dedicated wide series. Sidecut: New Age Progressive + Death Grip CAPiTA's New Age Progressive + Death Grip sidecut delivers optimal control and performance. The Progressive sidecut blends two or more radii to accommodate the three stages of a turn, ensuring smooth initiation, enhanced control, and maximum power when exiting. Meanwhile, the Death Grip features a reverse sidecut arc in the board’s midsection, providing a contact point for pressure application and consistent control throughout the turn, making it ideal for both freestyle and freeride riding. Width: Standard, Wide Standard width boards deliver exceptional edge-to-edge quickness and responsiveness while providing enough platform space for riders with average boot sizes. Wide boards are for those with large boot sizes and provide extra flotation, reduced drag, and never feel clunky or cumbersome underfoot. Inserts: 2x4 Inserts These offer a tighter hole pattern, allowing for more precise stance adjustments. Board Construction Topsheet: Screen Print with Metallic Underlay CAPiTA creates their incredibly detailed and vibrant topsheet designs using a combination of digital and hand screen printing methods. Their PAM16000 Printing technology utilises 16,000 individual inkjet nozzles to produce flawless digital graphics with solventless, water-based UV ink—delivering exceptional accuracy, quality, and speed. Additionally, every CAPiTA topsheet includes a portion that is silkscreened through a hand screen printing process, adding unique texture and depth to the final design. Laminate: Pure Megacarbon with Marine Grade Epoxy Resin Carbon fiber is known for its strength, lightness, and heat resistance. CAPiTA customises its properties, amount, and location in the board to boost power and responsiveness while maintaining an ultra-lightweight design. Pure MegaCarbon is a full-length sheet of carbon layered above and below the core from tip to tail. Core: Thermopolymer Starship Core CAPiTA's Thermopolymer Starship Core is made of a mega-premium, reforestation-certified Poplar, which is graded for weight and grain consistency. By having a strength-to-weight ratio similar to Paulownia, this core preserves the lively "poppiness" of Poplar and reaches high level performance level by incorporating bonded post-consumer recycled Thermopolymer channels, creating an advanced hybrid core offering unparalled performance. Base: Megadrive XT Base with Moonshot Omni-Tune, Inlaid Alloy Skid Plates, Die-Cut Base Using the most advanced and premium base materials, the Megadrive XT base is a pure sintered race base made of UHMW polyethelene with carbon content and fluro additions for the fastest base CAPiTA can make. This base is extra thick for enhanced durability. The Moonshot Omni-Tune is a high-performance race-base structure designed to channel water away at a 45-degree angle, delivering seriously fast rides—whether you're charging to the lift or racing to the finish line. Reinforced with an ultralight skid plate, refined and reshaped to shave weight and protect the tail of the snowboard. CAPiTA uses advanced laser-guided die-cutting technology to ensure razor-sharp edges and exceptionally bold, vibrant colors for their bases.
