Core

Dual CORE

Poppy lightweight Poplar core combined with Beech for increased power and durability.

CARBON ARAMID STRUTS

Known for it's 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 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 Capita's 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

SUPERDRIVE™ BASE

The SUPERDRIVE™ 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.

Edges

• 360° HRC48 Steel Edges

Additional Features

By the most experienced crafters.

• At The MotherShip™, the renowned tradition of snowboard manufacturing in the Austrian Alps runs deep.
• Capita 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. Capita hold their boards to rigorous standards to ensure they meet your high expectations.
• Each CAPiTA snowboard leaving their 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.
• CAPiTA 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.

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
