Product Details

Rocker Type

Hybrid Camber ProfileHybrid Camber Profile boards take full advantage of the benefits of traditional camber, zero camber, and reverse camber. This next generation design allows you to get the pop and response of a cambered board with all the predictability and easy turn initiation of zero camber or reverse camber shapes.

Flex

5.5(1 Soft - 10 Stiff)

Core

DS Select RFC Sustainable Dual Core™Poppy lightweight poplar core combined with beech stringers for increased power and durability.

Laminates

Carbon Fiber BeamsKnown for its rigidity, high tensile strength, low weight, high temperature tolerance, and low thermal expansion, Carbon Fiber is one of the most popular materials used in today's high performance applications. This lightweight, strong material, when molded into a snowboard, increases power and response while remaining ultralight.

Dynaweave™ FiberglassThe Dynaweave™ configuration features triaxial fiberglass on the top of the core and biaxial fiberglass beneath, creating more response while increasing strength and durability. Combine this layup with a specialized resin and one of the many additives CAPiTA has available and you get a high performing board tailored to meet your style of riding.

Plant Based Evo ResinLow temperature requirement, consistent and durable output. This resin system has a bio-content of 60% renewable, agricultural raw materials. It is plant based that does not compete with primary food sources and is produced with no waste or green house emissions.

Sidewalls

Fortress™ Kevlar Bound SidewallsSidewalls are bonded by a Kevlar "S" wrap from the top of the sidewall to the underside of the fore. For 2016/2017, a new kevlar shape provides an even lighter weight technology that binds the sidewall and core material together like no other.

Base

Wax Infused Enduro™ BaseThis base material strikes a unique and sought after balance between high performance and low maintenance. These bases are highly wax absorbent and allow longer time periods between waxing sessions.

Titanal Base InlayTitanal is a high strength hardened aluminum wrought alloy with excellent compression strength to weight ratios. A perfect top core structural reinforcement, these 20mm Titanal struts resist longitudinal compression.
