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: 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.

Topsheet: PLT Technology - Screen and Gloss/Matte Print

Exclusive to CAPiTA, PLT Technology bonds the topsheet into the already pressed snowboard without having fiberglass structure to show through the topsheet. This creates a seamless connection and does not require an additional layer of lacquer to smooth out the top of the snowboard, saving on both using environmentally unfriendly materials and adding unnecessary weight to the snowboard.

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/Tri and Magic Bean Resin with 3x25mm Carbonflax Amplifier, Carbon Fleece Power Shield

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, ensuring superior durability, stability, and overall ride quality.

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.

Two Carbon Fleece Power Shields underfoot provide maximum pop for ollies and enhanced stability across varied terrain, while torsional forgiveness ensures smooth control in any situation.

Core: Thermopolymer Hover Core

CAPiTA's Thermopolymer Hover Core combines post-consumer recycled Thermopolymer channels with ultra-lightweight wood core strips, offering a strong, lightweight construction with superior vibration dampening.

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 colours for their bases.
