Board Type: All Mountain
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.
Flex: 6/10 (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: Twin
A twin-shaped snowboard is symmetrical with an identical tip and tail, designed for equal performance riding forward or switch. It’s perfect for freestyle tricks, spins, and jumps, offering balance, stability, and control in both directions.
Camber Type: Resort V1 + Flat Kick Tech
CAPiTA's Resort V1 + Flat Kick profile combines the best of traditional camber, zero camber, and reverse camber, enhanced with Flat Kick Tech. This advanced design delivers the pop and response of a cambered board, paired with the predictability and effortless turn initiation of zero or reverse camber shapes.
Sidecut: Blended Radial
CAPiTA's Blended Radial sidecuts incorporate a single-radius arc through the board's midsection, paired with a custom-designed blend zone at the contact points. By adjusting the length of these blend zones and tailoring them to specific riding styles, the board's overall performance is significantly enhanced.
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: Matte Topsheet - Digital Print and 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: Hybrid SuperCarbon HolySheet Tri/Tri with Magic Bean Resin
The Holysheet fiberglass construction utilises fiberglass weaves designed for high tensile strength and low elasticity. By incorporating a greater roving count without increasing weight, this configuration enhances board strength and responsiveness. For peak performance, tri-axial fiberglass layers are strategically positioned above and below the core, with carbon additives interwoven into the actual fiberglass laminate offering the highest level enhancement in the durability, stability, and ride quality of the board while reducing the weight significantly.
The Magic Bean resin system, developed over three years, is plant-based with high bio-content, zero waste, and no greenhouse emissions. It requires low production temperatures while delivering high yield, strength, and durability. Its enhanced rigidity allows for a thinner wood core, reducing weight while increasing energy return for a lighter, more responsive board.
Core: 3D Thermopolymer Starship Core
CAPiTA's 3D Thermopolymer Starship Core is made of a 3D cut, 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.
Sidewall: Fortress Aramid Bound Sidewall
Fortress Aramid Bound Sidewalls are reinforced with a Kevlar “S” wrap that extends from the top of the sidewall to beneath the core. This innovative, lightweight design seamlessly connects the sidewall and core for unparalleled strength and durability.
Base: Hyperdrive ADV XT Base with Moonshot Omni-Tune, Die-Cut
The Hyperdrive ADV XT base is made with a premium sintered polyethylene material for the highest levels of anti-friction due to the high molecular mass of this base. 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.
CAPiTA uses advanced laser-guided die-cutting technology to ensure razor-sharp edges and exceptionally bold, vibrant colors for their bases.
