Capita Mens Defenders of Awesome Snowboard
Product Details
D.O.A.
The Defenders of Awesome series has a big reputation, and these boards back it up.
A winner of the most coveted design award in snowboarding for an unprecedented seven years in a row, this model became our #1 selling snowboard and one of the most sought-after snowboards in the world.
The D.O.A. features a next-generation hybrid camber design that delivers the pop and response of a cambered board with the predictability of reverse camber and is now available in an extended range of wide sizes.
The P2 Superlight Core™ reduces weight while providing high-impact resistance and maximum pop. With additional construction technology like Fortress™ Aramid Bound Sidewalls and a high-speed Quantum Drive™ base advancing these boards beyond their modest retail price, the D.O.A. series stands proud as the ultimate go-anywhere, do-anything freestyle deck.

P2 SUPERLIGHT™ CORE
Extremely lightweight and versatile core combined with high impact resistance and maximum pop.
CARBON FIBER BOOSTERS
Known 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.
We increase power and response on a wide range of models by integrating different adaptations of carbon fiber thickness, width, weight, or weave while ensuring our boards remain ultralight.
Laminates
PLT TOPSHEET TECHNOLOGY™
PLT Topsheet Technology™ is exclusive to CAPiTA MFG and magically bonds the topsheet to an already pressed snowboard.
This produces a featherlight, smooth, high-gloss finish, without using any solvents or toxic laquers in finishing.
SPECIAL BLEND BIAXIAL FIBERGLASS
SPECIAL BLEND is an eco-friendly wet lay-up process that uses our MAGIC BEAN™ resin component requiring lower consumption of energy and yielding higher technical properties.
This adhesion process improves the factory's working environment, as it does not contain some of the same harsh chemical characteristics used in resins at other factories around the world
Magic Bean Resin
This advanced resin system has a bio-content of 60% renewable, agricultural raw material and is produced with no waste or greenhouse emissions.
In production, it has a low-temperature requirement with a high yield output. Poppy, powerful, and extremely durable, MAGIC BEAN™ resin yields much stronger and more rigid qualities allowing a decrease in the wood core thickness.
This means you get a lighter board while achieving higher energy return.
Base
QUANTUM DRIVE™ BASE
The QUANTUM DRIVE™ running base is formulated with a progressive blend of compressed ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene.
As an evolution from the already blazing fast ULTRADRIVE™, this running base features higher density for durability and absorbs more wax to wick longer and ride faster.
Properly maintained sintered bases are fast, durable, and are the preferred choice of many high-end enthusiasts worldwide.
Edges
360° HRC48 Steel Edges
FORTRESS™ ARAMID BOUND SIDEWALLS
FORTRESS Aramid Bound Sidewalls ar bonded by a Kevlar 'S' wrap from the top of the sidewall to the underside of the core.
This lightweight technology binds the sidewall and core material together like no other.
Additional Features
By the most experienced crafters.
At The MotherShip™, the renowned tradition of snowboard manufacturing in the Austrian Alps runs deep.
Our craftsmen meticulously press each board with a bespoke, computer-controlled, recipe of ingredients to deliver an optimal ride experience.
Freshly pressed boards undergo hand inspection before moving on to the grinding and finishing stages.
Machine precision meets hand inspection.
Before leaving the production line every snowboard undergoes a meticulous final hand inspection.
We hold our boards to rigorous standards to ensure they meet your high expectations.
Each CAPiTA snowboard leaving our facility is certified as world-class and proudly sealed with the MotherShip™ quality control stamp of approval.
Thermal Insert Drilling
Unlike other snowboard factories that rely on a human hand and a standard drill for tapping board inserts, which can be prone to imprecision and generate excess scrap,
The Mothership stands out with its newly developed automated thermal insert drilling technology.
This advanced system utilizes thermal scanning to identify the precise location of each insert and taps them with robotic precision.
The result is a precise insert connection that instills confidence in a higher-performing product, guaranteeing a solid binding-to-snowboard connection.
Factory Tuned
Board comes waxed and ready for the mountain right from the factory.
Warranty
CAPiTA Snowboards are hand-crafted in Austria at the snowboard industry's most technologically advanced and environmentally responsible manufacturing facility.
We are proud to offer a warranty policy guaranteeing that your CAPiTA snowboard is free from defects in material or workmanship for a period of two (2) years from the date of purchase.
Binding Compatibility
Stainless Steel 2 x 4 Inserts
The MotherShip™ Connection "NFC"
Enhanced Precision Through Technology
In 2020, The Mothership became the first in the snowboard industry to introduce an NFC system in our snowboards.
This chip enables precise tracking of each board's production journey, resulting in higher quality and reduced waste.
Beyond the production floor, we have taken NFC capabilities to the next level.
Now, you can connect with your board by simply scanning it with your phone.
This NFC interface enables you to register your snowboard, streamlining the customer service process and granting exclusive early access to new product information, drops, and CAPiTA team videos exclusively for NFC-registered users
