Tear up your local mountain this year with the top-of-the-line CAPiTA Black Snowboard of Death.
Product Details
Rocker Type
Flat Kick – Specialized Flat Kick tip and tail arcs combined with elevated reverse camber contact points achieve the ideal tempo into turns. This allows you to have the shorter effective edge of a forgiving, easy to ride, reverse camber snowboard that is still responsive and gives quick edge to edge transfer.
Freeride FK – This revolutionary all-mountain shape provides the best of both worlds. It has a raised camber platform through the inserts to retain high-speed edge hold through variable terrain, and elevated contact points to land and float in powder.
Flex
Flex Rating (1 Soft - 10 Stiff) – 6.5, perfect for all-mountain riding
Sidecut
New Age Directional – A reverse side cut arc is 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 and consistency throughout the turn.
Death Grip™ – A reverse sidecut blend in the midsection of the board to complement the hybrid camber design
Core
P2 Superlight™ Core – Comprised of an even mix of poplar and paulownia wood, this core is strong enough to stand up to any terrain and is specifically designed for the Black Snowboard of Death.
Laminates
Basalt Custom Weave – This features a resin and glass borrowed from the marine industry which yields much stronger and more rigid qualities, allowing for a decreased wood core thickness. This means you get a lighter board while achieving higher energy return. Added Basalt wings from the inserts to the contact points add retained power and pop.
Sidewalls
Full ABS sidewalls with Silkscreened Graphics
Base
Wax Infused Rotation Sintered Base – These bases are created by taking pellets of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene and compressing them through heat and pressure. The minuscule spaces left behind absorb wax and allow for extended periods of high speed shredding as the wax wicks to the surface while you ride. This prevents your base from drying out and keeps the surface feeling freshly waxed throughout the day. Properly maintained sintered bases are fast, durable, and the overwhelming choice of pro snowboarders worldwide.
