Capita The Black Snowboard of Death
A legendary board in Capita's line The Black Snowboard of Death is an all mountain and freeride destroyer of a board. Rocker in the nose and power underfoot make this board a charger!
Capita The Black Snowboard of Death is a legend in Capita's line and is an all mountain freeride machine! It has won a number of awards over the past 25 years and has evolved a lot to perfect the ride. The only thing still the same is the name! This board has evolved into a all mountain balanced machine that rides smoother than it's name suggests. A balanced directional shape and stiff powerful construction keeps you stable when rocketing but the rocker in the nose and flat in the tail keep it floating in the powder. No matter the conditions if your choice is to hit the freeride or carve the piste then this should definatly be on your short list.
This season The Black Snowboard of Death is actually White with Black graphics, apart from the 159cm board which is a special edition Red board is the Kevin Jones throwback signature 2K edition.
This iconic CAPiTA series is packed with technology—integrating a Thermopolymer Hover Core™ with Carbon Fleece Power Shields™ and Carbonflax™ Amplifiers for a high-powered construction which allows for incredible control.
TOPSHEET TECH: PLT Technology - PLT™ technology is exclusive to CAPiTA MFG and magically bonds the topsheet to an already pressed snowboard.
GLASS + RESIN: HOLYSHEET™ TRI/TRI + MAGIC BEAN™ RESIN - HOLYSHEET™ Fiberglass configuration features fiber weaves with a high tensile strength and low modulus of elasticity. With a higher roving count in the same weight of glass, you can have a stronger and more responsive board without adding extra weight.ADDITIVES: CARBON FLEECE POWER SHIELD™ - With two Carbon Fleece power pads underfoot, maximum thrusting power is achieved for ollies and stability under varied-terrain while torsional forgiveness allows for ease of command while in battle.
CORE: THERMOPOLYMER HOVER CORE™ - Enhanced with bonded post-consumer recycled Thermopolymer channels into ultra-lightweight select grain wood core strips, the THERMOPOLYMER HOVER Core™ is extremely light and strong with excellent dampening properties.
ADDITIVES: - 4 x 25 mm CARBONFLAX™ AMPLIFIER - CARBONFLAX™ is a next-generation natural flax fiber woven with carbon strands that is featured in our high-end snowboard constructions. This fusion tape brings the best of two worlds: the reactive energy of carbon and the lightweight and dampening aspects of flax. The two fibers are highly compatible since they have similar properties regarding thermal expansion and failure strain, creating a uniformly flexing reinforcement that's light, snappy and durable all in one.
BASE: HYPERDRIVE™ ADV XT BASE - Custom formulated and exclusive to The MotherShip, our engineers have worked tirelessly with the world's leading polyethylene running base supplier to create HYPERDRIVE™. With exceptional anti-friction properties due to high molecular mass and specialized processing aids, this sintered material has a proprietary composition and is beyond fast. Our loyal fans charge hard, and we have integrated the fastest, meanest base available. We have increased the thickness of our XT bases for enhanced durability.
BASE TECH: MOONSHOT OMNI-TUNE™ - The MOONSHOT OMNI-TUNE™ is an aftermarket high-performance race-base structure that wicks water from your base at a 45-degree angle making these boards fast as f*#k to the lift line or to the finish line.
