LU/ENboard technology
A snowboard’s wood core is the heart and soul of the riding experience.This essential element determines the key character traits of a snowboard and functions as the primary building block for everything else that goes into a board. Every CAPiTA deck starts off with a specialized wood core allowing for uniform flex, greater turning control, and incredibly fast response. Different species of wood, along with custom core profiles, help give each deck a unique feel and targeted flex. We have engineered a series of wood core compositions, each with distinctive characteristics, to ensure that we have your ideal snowboard.
3D THERMOPOLYMER STARSHIP CORETM1

Laminated fiberglass is a key component when controlling the strength and flex of our boards.Laminated fiberglass is used on the top and bottom of a board's wood core to protect it from water damage and is also a key component when controlling the strength and flex of our boards. When applying the resin, we use a mechanized dispensing system which accurately provides a calculated amount of resin per board to ensure the proper resin to glass ratio is being achieved. This process eliminates potential dry spots, preventing delamination and ensures no weight is added from excess resin. All CAPiTA boards are made this way and feature one of the following glass and resin configurations.
Introducing the latest breakthrough from The MotherShipTM: the HYBRID HOLYSHEETTM. This cutting-edge development is the result of a collaborative effort with our glass supplier. We've ingeniously interwoven carbon additives directly into our HOLYSHEETTM fiberglass, leading to a substantial enhancement in precision during layup and a notable reduction in weight.

The HOLYSHEETTM 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. At the highest level, Triaxial fiberglass is placed on both the top and bottom of the core providing maximum strength, durability and performance, while many of our most sought after models feature Triaxial fiberglass on top of the core and Biaxial fiberglass beneath, creating a perfectly blended ride while increasing strength and durability. Combine one of these three layups with the MAGIC BEANTM resin and one of the many additives we have available, and you get an incredibly high performing board tailored to meet your style of riding.

There are two basic types of base material used in our industry: extruded and sintered. If you don’t like to wax often and want something lower maintenance, extruded is for you. If you are more interested in going faster for longer and actually wax your board, sintered is your base. We offer unique variations of both compositions that reflect Polyethylene density, hardness, wax retention, and waxed—or unwaxed—speed.

The SUPERDRIVETM base material lives in the Sintruded category of boards that deliver benefits of both sintered and extruded bases. These bases take the characteristics and manufacturing techniques used in creating extruded base material, but due to higher pressure and temperature, increase the surface hardness to levels near most sintered bases. This expands the durability and surface strength, creating a base that will be more durable when jibbing and ripping around the mountain while retaining a low maintenance and carefree lifespan of the board. SUPERDRIVETM is the benchmark for sintruded material while SUPERDRIVETM ADV yields higher durability and glide performance.

With CAPiTA’s FLAT KICK design technology, we’ve tightened the tip profile radius that blends the shoulders of the board into the tip and tail height on reverse camber boards. The tight tip radius in conjunction with tuned blend zones allows you to have a forgiving and easy to ride reverse camber board that is still responsive and quick during edge to edge transitions. This also creates a flat tip and tail which increases jibbing stability and also helps the board plane on top of powder creating float and control.

Technology integrated into snowboard construction affects many characteristics of a board’s performance. Flex, along with weight, stability, energy and other factors come into play when considering whether a board is right for you. Flex may be the most important as it will determine how you are able to manipulate your board on snow. Soft, flexible boards are great for jibbing and overall command over your snowboard, especially in the park. They’re easy to ride and very forgiving. Stiffer boards have more pop, more energy, and more stability at high speeds but they require more effort and skill from the rider as well. All boards in this catalog are rated on a scale from 1 to 10. The number given is the estimated resistance the board may provide to the average customer. 1 would be the resistance of a noodle, 10 would be the resistance of a tree trunk.
All snowboard shapes are designed with four blend zones. This is the area after the sidecut ends and before the nose or tail shape starts. In this small section, the shape of the board must transition from a sidecut arc going one direction into the tip shape arc going in the opposite direction. This critical section of the board is similar to the steering system in your car. It's the driving force in initiating turns and determining where your board is going. A poorly designed blend zone will cause your board to be hooky or turn slowly and could limit your ability to transition between edges. CAPiTA has taken the time to pay distinct attention to this detail; fine-tuning each and every board to make sure your riding experience is balanced and perfect.
At CAPiTA, not only do we strive to make the most Totally Incredible Technical Snowboards™ in the
world, we think it’s important that they look beautiful too. The fact is, getting snowboards to look AMAZING is hard. The technical requirements for bonding and durability in extreme climatic and physical conditions severely limits options, and these challenges keep most companies confined to standard methods. The result is often a lifeless, soulless, reproduction that fails to explore the particular possibilities of each graphic. Through rigorous testing, wild experimentation and hard-earned experience, our mad art scientists have developed new techniques that maximize each graphic’s unique potential. Our mission is to completely surpass what was once technically impossible.
1DEEPSPACETM DESIGN THEORY
DEEPSPACETM DESIGN THEORY
You don’t like shallow humans, so why would you like shallow topsheets? The DEEPSPACETM Design Theory takes advantage of the thickness of a transparent topsheet. Strategically layering ink on multiple levels from the top and the bottom we are able to imbue our graphics with a sense of life through depth. Simple in theory, it requires an expert knowledge of ink bonding characteristics and curing times to make production efficient and technically feasible. It’s also expensive as hell, and considered to be cost prohibitive for many of our competitors.

5SUBLIMATION
SUBLIMATION
Sublimation is an exact science for an inexact process. In sublimation, ink is pushed through a substrate into base material using pressure and heat. As base material is thicker and more opaque than topsheets, graphics become more vibrant when ink impregnates the material as opposed to other techniques where the ink is applied to one side or the other. Through sublimation, ink sits closer to the sliding surface and this technique excels when full colors are required. Many long nights were spent tinkering with a complex combination of cook-times, pressure and temperature in a highly controlled environment to achieve some of CAPiTA’s signature base graphics.

PLTTM technology is exclusive to CAPiTA MFG and magically bonds the topsheet to an already pressed snowboard. This is
magical because the rest of the world mashes their topsheets on with glue, heat and pressure during the pressing stage. Doing so causes the fiberglass structure underneath to show through the topsheet. And because nobody wants to spend their hard earned cash on a bumpy snowboard, many companies slather their tops with a thick toxic lacquer to smooth things out. Not only is that shit HEAVY and can potentially develop unsightly hairline cracks, it’s also really unhealthy for the working environment.
