Tech Story

With legendary status as an all-terrain slayer and too many accolades to name, The Black Snowboard of Death has been continually morphed and modified in pursuit of perfection. The only element that has remained the same over the years is the name itself. For 2022, this icon of CAPiTA's history has been upgraded again with an all-new Thermopolymer Hover Core™, integrating post-consumer recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate into ultra-thin strips of Poplar and Paulownia to form an advanced hybrid wood core. Combining this extremely lightweight and powerful core with a Carbon Fleece Power Shield™ and Amplitex™ V-Tech Amplifiers aligns the board's feel with the anytime, anyplace, all-mountain design mantra, which made it famous from the beginning.

The contemporary The Black Snowboard of Death features a slightly wider frame with tighter side cut arcs and Death Grip™, a reverse sidecut arc in the midsection that enables the shape to whip into quick turns. With a well-balanced directional shape and high-powered construction, this custom-designed rocket ship allows for incredible control—making you a better snowboarder in variable terrain and changing conditions.

Flex: DIRECTIONAL

Camber Type: ALPINE V1 PROFILE

The ALPINE V1 Profile design features mid-body camber with a flat tail and a reverse cambered nose. This allows for tons of pop and stability on hard pack while increasing float and landing power, improving the rider’s performance in deep snow. The camber runs longer in the tail—providing extra power for the ascent or for larger riders drawn to a dedicated wide series.

All Mountain triple black ripper

This board rocks. Great for everyday, icy days, and my go to board for powder days down the steepest runs I can find. Been on this board for 3-4 years now

Best shape/profile I've ever ridden

It is so nice to have a super lightweight board as a bigger rider. I am 6'5, 225lbs, size 14 boot, and have ridden the 161w and 165w. This board has the benefits of camber but manages to be catch free. Rip the whole mountain from hard pack to pow. The death grip works surprisingly well as I traverse upper international at Alpental on an icy day. When pow lands, this board floats! When it's chundery, it smashes through. Wish this year's(2023) was just a little bit easier to flex. The 2021 model year had the perfect stiffness IMO. I really want to get the 169w, but I am afraid it might be too much of a beast to handle outside of pow conditions. Who knows?, I'm still getting stronger, and still pushing to improve. Thank you Capita!

Haul *** Stay BADASS

My go to big mountain weapon! Between the carbon base and moonshot pro tune this board rails down any terrain you put in its path. It will handle any line and snow condition you throw at it. The camber story makes it float well in powder and when you get it on a groomer it wants to turn and burn. I would definitely recommend this to any one looking for a directional big mountain machine!
