Features
Resort V2 Profile - Featuring camber that stretched just outside the inserts for high-speed edge hold and elevated contact points with Flack Kick Tips for float and maneuverability, this profile packs response and predictability.
New Age Progressive Sidecut + Death Grip - CAPiTA's New Age Progressive Sidecuts are progressive sidecuts, which also incorporate a reverse sidecut arc in the midsection of the board. Due to a reduced effective edge as a result of hybrid camber shapes, this reverse camber arc provides a point of contact to retain control throughout the turn and is affectionately referred to as DEATH GRIP™.
FSC® Certified 3D Thermopolymer Starship Core - Utilizing an advanced electronic sorting system allows Capita to select mega-premium, reforestation certified, Poplar graded by weight and grain consistency. Comparable to Paulownia in strength to weight ratio, this core retains the poppiness of Poplar, and then achieves a signature feel by adding bonded post-consumer recycled Thermopolymer channels to form an advanced hybrid core. This mega-premium core will blast you into space and beyond.
Holysheet™ Tri/Tri Fiberglass - Holysheet™ Tri/Tri Fiberglass features fiber weaves with high tensile strength and low modulus of elasticity. Triaxial fiberglass is placed on top of the core and Triaxial fiberglass beneath, creating a perfectly blended ride while increasing strength and durability.
MegaCarbon™ Array - Mega-wide carbon tape on both top and bottom of the woodcore - four times the power and response of previous carbon additives.
MegaLite Skin™ Topsheet - Super thin yet durable matte lamina for 80% weight reduction over Capita's regular topsheets.
Megadrive™ Base - Striving to kit out CAPiTA's MEGA line-up with the most advanced and premium components, the all new MEGADRIVE™ base is as fast as science can make it. This is a pure race base composed of UHMW polyethylene modified with high carbon content and special fluoro additives for lightspeed gliding in a wide range of conditions.
Moonshot Omni-Tune™ - Aftermarket performance stone grind structure straight from The Mothership, optimized for regular and switch riding.
360° Steel Edges - CAPiTA uses a full wrap steel edge that goes all the way around the board to add bomber protection to the tips and tails from impact damage.
Full ABS Sidewalls - ABS is an opaque thermoplastic polymer that is strong and durable even at low temperatures, making it ideal for snowboarding. It makes your board more stable at speeds and is impact resistant on rails and boxes.
Magic Bean™ Resin - Poppy, powerful, and extremely durable, Magic Bean™ resin yields much stronger and more rigid qualities allowing CAPiTA to decrease the wood core thickness which means a lighter board with higher energy return.
2 Year Warranty - Covered under manufacturer warranty for 2 years from the time of purchase. Warranty includes structural defects only and DOES NOT cover impact damage, abuse, misuse or normal wear and tear.
