Capita 2027 Kevin Backstrom Mercury LTD Snowboard

Description

It's the same Mercury you know and love, with its proven all-mountain performance and construction, now featuring a special-edition Kevin Backstrom design. A limited-release version of a favourite, this is a board you won't want to miss.

Known for his smooth, creative and effortless style on snow, Kevin Backstrom has become one of the most recognisable riders in modern snowboarding. After progressing through a slopestyle background, Kevin developed a distinctive all-mountain and freeride approach, while launching the Beyond Medals film series, which has delivered must-see snowboarding films year after year.

Over the last decade, the Mercury has become Kevin's go-to snowboard for smooth, stylish airtime and effortless float on landings. To celebrate Kevin and his upcoming tenth Beyond Medals film, CAPiTA presents the limited-release Kevin Backstrom Mercury LTD.
