Paying respects to the all-female black metal band Sorceress, the CAPiTA Defenders of Awesome FK Snowboard is the perfect hybrid freestyle destroyer. Featuring original photographs of the band members on the boards, the Defenders of Awesome Snowboard provides top-of-the-line technology along with sick graphics. The Form 6-K Fiberglass Configuration allows for the easy turn initiation while the SS Select Core provides a board that is just at home in the park as it is at the peak of the mountain. Snowboarding all year long is the true essence of awesomeness. Take the CAPiTA Defenders of Awesome FK Snowboard for a ride and continue to defend the magic that is snowboarding.
Rocker Type
Hybrid FK - CAPiTA's newest camber profile takes full advantage of the benefits of traditional camber, zero camber and reverse camber. This next generation design allows you to get all the pop and response from a cambered board while still having the predictability and easy ride from zero and reverse camber shapes.
Flex
Flex Rating (1 Soft - 10 Stiff) - 5, perfect for freestyle riding
Sidecut
Radial True Twin - A radial sidecut is a single radius design causing your board to start and finish a turn on the same arc.
Core
SS Select Core - Engineered for "anytime, anywhere" performance reliability, the SS Select provides a perfect balance between energy, stability and pop. Vertically laminated poplar is lightweight and has a long grain orientation. There are no irregularities allowing for consistent uniform flex throughout the deck.
Laminates
Form 6-K - This glass configuration consists of 612 gram/meters-squared biaxial fiberglass placed on both the base and topside of the core at 0˚ and 90˚ angles. This configuration results in a board that initiates turns easily, while retaining the pop necessary to handle variable conditions. The Form 6-K laminate system is laid up wet by hand during the lamination process. This also features carbon kevlar stringers to further increase ollie power and response.
Base
HMC Extruded - A low maintenance, user-friendly base that preforms well with or without constant waxing and attention: the HMC is a special "high molecular concept" base that is denser, more durable, and more abrasion resistant than standard extruded bases. The result is a hard, fast and reliable base that will get you where you want to go fast.

Topsheet
Direct Digital + Silkscreened Topsheet

Mid Flex for a Progressive Freestyler

By T-Pain

from Stevens Pass

Comments about CAPiTA Defenders of Awesome FK Snowboard 2013:

Great freestyle board, good versatility w/ camber and rocker combo. Very easy to ride/ turn. Playful for jibbing and buttering. Edges held surprisingly well. Board was a great fit for me being a park/freestyle rider.

No Need to Defend Awesome...Cause it is.

By Justin

from Stevens Pass

Staff Reviewer

Comments about CAPiTA Defenders of Awesome FK Snowboard 2013:

This board is similar to a softer version of the TFA. Has a softer feel while still giving you awesome pop. Camber under foot with a larger flat camber section toward tip and tail, while still having the reverse camber right at the nose/tail. The flat camber will give you a more bite and control with a bigger contact point. This board will excel all over the mountain so if you prefer a medflex board that can do park runs or hike your favorite line, then you found your board....

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Shred Buffalo

By Roon

from Stevens Pass, WA

Staff Reviewer

Comments about CAPiTA Defenders of Awesome FK Snowboard 2013:

Jack. Of. All. Trades. Such a fun board. It never felt like it was out of it's element. Ripped groomers, butters but has a really fluid pop that is easy to control but surprises you at first. If the Most Interesting Man in the World sold you his board- this would be it, but it might have a shark bite in it. I am about 5'10" 160lbs and riding the 154 seemed like a really good size for a playful jibbing morning; but I would size up to a 156 or 158 if I wanted to get more off trail.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Fun, Freestyle Charger

By Michael

Staff Reviewer

Comments about CAPiTA Defenders of Awesome FK Snowboard 2013:

I am 5'10" 190# and took out a 156 DOA for afternoon spring time fun. Super fun to launch of natural hits but could charge through chopped up slop. Forgiving flex made for a fun ride.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Very fun board to ride. It handled well in the hard pack or in the mashed potatoes. A board you could ride all condition on and have a blast on.

2013 DOA -154 -Great Board

By Jesse

from Stevens Pass

Comments about CAPiTA Defenders of Awesome FK Snowboard 2013:

I am 5'9" 170lbs and rode this bad-boy on a late spring day on both groomers and laps through the park. Super responsive w/ the light mix of stiffness in/out of turns at high speeds and flex on rails and flats. Good pop, and seems to be an extremely versatile ride.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
