Features
Board Type: All Mountain- freestyle
Flex: 5.5/10 (1=soft, 10=stiff)
Mid-flex snowboards offer the ideal balance between playfulness and performance, making them a versatile choice for all-mountain riders. Responsive enough for confident carving and stability at speed, they also provide the forgiveness needed for presses, butters, and more relaxed riding. Whether you're exploring the entire mountain or progressing your skills across varied terrain, a mid-flex board delivers dependable versatility in all conditions.
Shape: True Twin
A twin-shaped snowboard features a symmetrical nose and tail, delivering the same performance whether riding regular or switch. Ideal for freestyle riding, it offers balanced control, stability, and predictability for spins, jumps, and park progression.
This hybrid profile blends traditional camber, zero camber, and reverse camber with Flat Kick Tech for a versatile all-mountain feel. It delivers the pop and response of camber, combined with the easy turn initiation and predictability of flatter and reverse camber zones, creating a balanced, confidence-inspiring ride.
Sidecut: Blended Radial
CAPiTA’s Blended Radial Sidecut uses a single-radius arc through the centre of the board, paired with custom blend zones at the contact points. By tuning the length of these zones for different riding styles, it creates smoother turn initiation, improved control, and a more refined, responsive ride.
Laminate: Hybrid Carbon HolySheet Bi/Bi, Magic Bean Resin
This construction blends bi-axial fiberglass above and below the core with integrated carbon in the bottom layer for added strength and responsiveness. Structural additives fine-tune the ride feel, creating a forgiving, easy-to-ride board that remains lightweight while improving performance and energy transfer.
The Magic Bean resin system is a plant-based formulation with high bio-content, designed for low-impact production with no waste or greenhouse emissions. It cures at lower temperatures while delivering excellent strength and durability, allowing for a thinner, lighter wood core that increases energy return and overall responsiveness.
Topsheet: PLT Technology - Digital and Screen Print with Metallic Underlay
PLT Technology fuses the topsheet directly into the pressed board for a smooth, seamless finish with no visible fiberglass texture. It removes the need for extra lacquer, reducing weight and environmental impact.
CAPiTA combines advanced digital printing with hand screen printing to create vibrant, high-detail graphics. Using 16,000 inkjet nozzles and water-based UV inks, PAM16000 technology delivers exceptional print quality, while hand-screened elements add unique texture and depth to every topsheet.
Core: P2 Superlight Core
CAPiTA's P2 Superlight Core is lightweight while staying very versatile due to the Paulownia and Poplar wood used to create a core that has high impact durability while offering maximum pop.
The Quantum Drive base is built for speed and durability, this sintered base holds more wax for a longer, faster ride. It’s designed to stay smooth and strong, making it a top choice for riders who want reliable performance in any condition.
