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: 7/10 (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: Tapered Directional
A tapered directional snowboard features a shape where the tail is narrower than the nose, providing enhanced control and stability in deeper snow. This design improves floatation in powder and allows for smoother turns, making it ideal for freeride and backcountry riding. While it excels in one direction, the taper helps the board naturally guide you through challenging conditions.
Camber Type: Resort V3
CAPiTA's Resort V3 Profile is designed for maximum versatility. It features a raised camber platform through the inserts for dependable edge hold at high speeds on variable terrain, elevated contact points for enhanced float and stability in powder, and traditional tip and tail arcs for seamless transitions.
Sidecut: Radical Taper
CAPiTA's Radical Taper sidecut is designed for deep powder and versatile mountain performance, this Radial sidecut is paired with a Tapered Tail. The narrower tail sinks naturally in the powder, while the wider nose floats above the snow. The result is less effort and more enjoyment, as the board glides smoothly on a continuous arc.
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.
Topsheet: Skinless Core Ash Woodgrain Topsheet - Digital Print
CAPiTA uses specially treated pure wood veneer for their Skinless Core Ash Woodgrain Topsheet that gives a unique feel, offering less weight than traditional topsheets.
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: Holysheet Tri/Bi and Magic Bean Resin with 4x25mm Carbonflax Amplifier
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. Many popular models are designed with tri-axial fiberglass layered above the core and bi-axial fiberglass underneath, resulting in a well-balanced ride that enhances both strength and durability.
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.
Carbonflax is an advanced composite material combining natural flax fibers with carbon strands, engineered for next level snowboard performance. This innovative blend harnesses carbon’s explosive responsiveness alongside flax’s lightweight feel and vibration absorption. With their complementary properties, these fibers create a durable, evenly flexing reinforcement that enhances both stability and energy transfer.
Core: Panda Hover Core
CAPiTA's Panda Hover Core is an ultra lightweight, ultra responsive core made of Paulownia and Poplar and the addition of Bamboo Power Rods.
Base: Hyperdrive ADV XT Base with Moonshot Omni-Tune, Sublimation
The Hyperdrive ADV XT base is made with a premium sintered polyethelene 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.
Sublimation is a fine-tuned process that brings graphics to life with bold, vibrant colors. By using heat and pressure, ink is embedded into the base material rather than just sitting on top, making the designs pop. Since the base is thicker and more opaque than topsheets, this technique enhances colour depth and clarity.
