2010-11 CAPiTA Black Snowboard of Death

2010-05-17T14:36:00.001-07:00

REVOLUTIONARY ALL TERRAIN FREESTYLE

Completely re-engineered for 2010, the 10 Year Anniversary – Black Snowboard of Death integrates camber where you need it for power and stability through variable terrain with reverse camber where you want it for control in powder conditions. We’ve added a unique sidecut blend in the mid section to compliment this unique camber design. This combination retains high-speed control in any situation and continues to build upon the Black Death legacy epitomizing all-terrain freestyle design.

EARTH CONSCIOUS CONSTRUCTION FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE SNOWBOARDING

Our goal with this series was to engineer a progressive, bad ass, true twin freestyle snowboard with a sincere commitment to responsible manufacturing. A Green “Machine” with progressive graphics and top tier performance made for an educated consumer looking for an environmentally conscious product. These boards are available in both cambered and reverse camber Freestyle FK versions. You pick!

Depicting dismembered pieces of every graphic throughout the CAPiTA board line, this cosmic collage features an easy to ride Freestlye FK reverse camber shape with an upgraded construction for diverse riding styles. Easy to ride in teh park with pre-pressed positioning for jibbing and a rockered nose for floating in the powder, the ULTRAFEAR FK will scare your friends whenever you're ready to step up your game. Call your local shop now, as these bad boys are only produced in VERY limited quantities.

2010-11 CAPiTA Stairmaster Extreme

2010-05-17T14:27:00.002-07:00

TRUE TWIN EXTREME FREESTYLE

The EXTREMES are for a special customer looking for a unique product that not everyone else is going to have. They’re geared toward a progressive jib and park shredder that doesn’t want to break the bank, but is looking for more performance than the standard Stairmaster construction. They feature an epoxy glass configuration, sintered base, and cambered construction so they’re fast, strong, and have mad pop off park jumps. Combine that with a specially designed dampening system placed along the edge between the inserts, and these boards yield enhanced impact resistance as well. The performance in relation to price tag of these versatile freestyle boards is unmatched, and as a result, they’re the first ones to sell out every year.

2010-05-17T14:22:00.000-07:00

TRUE TWIN FREESTYLE

These durable, responsive freestyle boards have become a customer favorite in the CAPiTA line because they’re proven to survive what you can give them inside or outside the park. They are our number one selling series in Japan. They have won a Transworld SNOWboarding Good Wood award for freestyle boards over $400. They are the go-to board for a majority of our team riders and as one of the most successful lines in CAPiTA history, we’re proud to offer these boards in both cambered and reverse camber Flat Kick versions.

2010-11 CAPiTA Charlie Slasher

2010-05-17T14:21:00.000-07:00

FLAT KICK POWDER MACHINE

A true tapered tail powder machine engineered to surf the white waves at a price you can afford. With freestyle inspired tip and tail shapes these boards have a single reverse camber area from the insert pack forward to keep your nose above the snowline. A mistake some companies make is engineering powder boards to have full rocker in the tail area as well. This reduces stability for stomping pow landings and requires more energy to keep your body weight properly distributed over your board in order to ride away. The Pow FK has a flat base from the mid section through the tail to make powder riding easier, conserve your energy, and transform the incredibly tiring powder days into incredible, epic, pow days.

USA Retail - $399, CDN Retail - $499, Euro Retail - €429, Japan Retail - ¥73,500

No friends on powder days... not any more.

You have lots of friends, and if they’re smart they’ll be slashing a Charlie.

2010-11 CAPiTA Party Shark

2010-05-17T14:20:00.001-07:00

FLAT KICK POWDER MACHINE

It's Party Time! Nothing captures the essence of snowboarding more than an epic powder day. Specifically, the point in time when you're mauling through mad pow – blasting double overhead snow blowers – and realize for those few seconds, you're living the dream. We call that the "Fuck Yeah Bro!" moment, because it's inevitably the first thing said when you see another human – right before the hi-fives and the beers. The CAPiTA Party Shark FK is an extremely limited edition tapered tail powder machine engineered specifically for this experience. Modeled after the world famous "Charlie Slasher FK," these boards feature freestyle inspired tip and tail shapes and a single reverse camber area from the insert pack forward to keep your party boat afloat. The Party Shark FK only lives to get radical. Get one if you can find it, and DEVOUR THE POW!

2010-11 CAPiTA Quiver Killer

2010-05-17T14:19:00.002-07:00

ALL TERRAIN ATTACK VEHICLE

With so many different board designs on the market today, many shredders are sharing lustful thoughts of a personal board quiver. I’m sure we’d all like to have a closet full of snowboards, each with different shapes to address that particular day’s riding style. Unfortunately that’s not reality for most of us, and luckily, now it’s not a necessity. If you ride everything and can only get one board this year, The CAPiTA Quiver Killer is for you.

Hailed as a 2x Transworld SNOWboarding Top Five half-pipe Good Wood award winner, the Quiver Killer needs no warm up period. Comfortable and stable out of the box while still quick edge to edge, these boards can handle anything the mountain can dish out. And, with a price tag hundreds of dollars less than its Good Wood peers, these boards are undeniably the best high performance product for the price, industry wide.

2010-11 CAPiTA Horrorscope

2010-05-17T14:19:00.001-07:00

REVERSE CAMBER FLAT KICK FREESTYLE

The Horrorscope FK was born as a late release limited edition board and is now one of the most sought after boards in snowboarding. Featuring pre-loaded positioning for expert level jibbers, and easy turnin’, mindless shreddin’ for those intermediate riders that want to expedite the learning curve. The demand was so strong we made multiple production runs and still sold out before a single chairlift opened in North America. Transworld SNOWboarding Magazine’s 2010 test results held the Horrorscope FK as the #3 men’s board in the world under $400, while it beat nine of the top ten boards on price. For 2010, we’ve responded to overwhelming demand by adding three more key sizes. The Horrorscope FK takes no effort! Stable at high speeds! Perfect for hangovers! Jib like a mad man!

2010-11 CAPiTA Stairmaster

2010-05-17T14:18:00.001-07:00

TRUE TWIN FREESTYLE

The Stairmaster originated as a board discounted out of the box that’s smaller, wider, softer, and designed for maneuverability around the park. The ride-ability of this series has become legendary in relation to the price tag, and the overwhelming demand for these boards continues after being named by Transworld SNOWboarding Magazine as the #4 men’s freestyle board in the world in ’09 under $400 while beating every other board in the top ten on price.

USA Retail - $339, CDN Retail - $399, Euro Retail - €329, Japan Retail - ¥57,750

2010-11 CAPiTA Micro-Scope

2010-05-17T14:17:00.003-07:00

REVERSE CAMBER FOR LITTLE GROM DESTROYERS

The Micro-Scope exposes fun stuff like park jumps, bumps, boxes, and freestyle terrain for smaller riders. With a convex shape, the edges are raised off the snow so smaller riders (and parents) don’t have to worry about catching an edge. These boards are light, snappy, soft, and have a slight reverse camber shape making jibbing boxes a breeze. They’re everything you’ve come to expect from a CAPiTA in a simplified, scaled down version.

2010-11 CAPiTA Midnight

DIRECTIONAL ALL TERRAIN

Light, strong, and easy to ride through variable terrain, these boards were engineered for women who know how to ride but don’t want a board that’s too aggressive or unpredictable. The sidewall construction provides stability while the carbon enhanced glass and lightweight core matrix provide power and precision to the progressive freestyle female rider.

USA Retail - $379, CDN Retail - $499, Euro Retail - €389, Japan Retail - ¥69,300

2010-11 CAPiTA Space Metal Fantasy FK

WOMEN’S REVERSE CAMBER FLAT KICK FREESTYLE

The Space Metal Fantasy harnesses the biggest trend in snowboarding and applies that reverse camber theory in a women’s specific chassis. Modeled after the Horrorscope FK, the reverse camber Flat Kick application of the SMF yields the same major results. Elevated contact points provide a very forgiving, fun experience for intermediate riders looking to expedite the learning curve, and pre-loaded camber positioning helps expert level jibbers looking to impress.

Transworld SNOWboarding Magazine’s 2010 test results held the Space Metal Fantasy FK as the #2 women’s board in the world under $400, while it beat every one of the top five boards on price.

USA Retail - $359, CDN Retail - $439, Euro Retail - €349, Japan Retail - ¥59,850

2010-11 CAPiTA Saturnia

WOMEN’S TRUE TWIN FREESTYLE

Engineered to be a “Stairmaster for women,” the Saturnia is light, strong, and easy to ride through obstacles and jumps in the park. It has everything you need, nothing you don’t, and like the Stairmaster series, the exceptional ride-ability and on-snow experience of the Saturnia greatly exceeds the price tag. Transworld SNOWboarding Magazine’s ‘09 test results held the Saturnia as the #3 women’s board in the world under $400, while it beat four of the top five boards on price.

CAPiTA Green Machine FK

2009-07-09T12:14:00.000-07:00

At CAPiTA, we like trees. We even hug them from time to time and spent the last year of our lives building a planet earth loving, environmentally conscious snowboard. However, as sincere as our approach was to alternative materials, we didn’t want to make a cliché laden eco-board for the stony bros. You know, the one with typical directional shaping and tired, wood-grain, hippy-style, retro surf-guy graphics on them? Yeah…that, my friends, has been done. Our story required a simplistic deliverance bound by forbidden stimulus: singed patchouli, dread locks, dream catchers, hippy blood, and the existence of unsung martyrs from the nether havens. There was a compulsion to unleash the slithering hate from hell’s crevasses, and then an obligation to produce THE GREEN MACHINE. A destroyer of toxic pollutants and protector of the frigid landscape.

Our goal with this series was to engineer a progressive, bad ass, true twin freestyle snowboard with a sincere commitment to responsible manufacturing. A GREEN “Machine” with progressive graphics and top tier performance made for an educated consumer looking for an environmentally conscious product. For 09/10, we’re proud to offer these boards in both cambered, and reverse camber Flat Kick versions. You pick!

CAPiTA Black Death, INC.

2009-07-09T11:41:00.000-07:00

2001 Transworld Snowboarding Top 10 Good Wood.

In the year 2000, skulls on a snowboard graphic bordered on lame for anyone with an inkling of originality. The aesthetic reigned as a wretched plague marginalizing our creative culture. There were truly no parameters for its presentation or escape from its meaningless image. We were frothy mouthed and sick. Physically tired I can tell you, from seeing skulls on snowboards. With what started as an obvious mockery of our industry and ourselves, we lashed out and released The Original Black Snowboard of Death. The sarcasm was appreciated by some, completely missed by others. We walked a fine line being both critical of artistic stagnation and also true fans of the dark arts. The boards ended up becoming our best selling series for four years in a row and showcase the only graphic theme that has spanned all nine years of our existence. It’s a testament to the fact that no matter how tired it might seem, the exploitation of darkness, rebellion, and the unknown will always connect with a certain portion of society. The materials, shaping, and technical make up of these boards have evolved greatly over the last nine collections. However, to honor the series and the loyal fan base that loves these boards, we have revived the Original Merchant Of Death skull and die cut, the obvious reality that, “Death Sells.”

Black Death, Inc. incorporates the side cut theory and ride-ability of it’s award winning ancestors, and continues the Black Death legacy epitomizing all terrain freestyle design. With a lightweight and snappy AIR core, lightning fast base, and bomb-proof sidewall construction this series will undoubtedly retain the title of one of the best all terrain snowboards in the world.

2009-06-03T17:17:00.000-07:00

Through remote viewing, time travel, and a solid understanding of the new fundamental physics I have created, I have made many new discoveries. In three dimensional time we are all subconsciously becoming who we despise. Life is a cosmic train wreck none of us can keep our eyes off of. We are finally catching up to every second of the past we created. Our dreams in which we astro projected into our future fantasies are unraveling into a sixth dimensional hyper reality. Some of us are beginning to realize these chaos nightmares of the masses are coming into fruition and we are unable to modify our future. Everyone's getting their kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames. The time has come to enter psychic wars that unnatural broadcasts send into the hearth of every home. Your 42" plasma flat screen is watching you as you lay limp under it's glow. Reprogram your cerebral circuits to transmit what you receive and embrace quantum interconnectedness. Exalt the new mysticism. Drop out, not bombs.
Too much remote, not enough control. X to the O – Corey Smith

The EXTREMES are limited in production and are primarily for a special customer looking for a unique product that not everyone else is going to have. They’re geared toward a progressive jib and park shredder that doesn’t want to break the bank, but is looking for more performance than the standard Stairmaster construction.

2009 Transworld Snowboarding Top 10 Good Wood Park Boards over $400. 2010 Snowboard Magazine Platinum Pick for Excellence in Design.

In this world, fear cuts deeper than a sword. But on the Isle of the Damned, fear cuts like a 16 foot tall blender filled to the brim with peyote, nightshade and Hawaiian baby wood rose. You try to stay afloat but the rusty, chest high blades whirl and pull you under. They spin not fast enough to slice you cleanly
and mercifully, but just fast enough to flay you layer by layer. In this place there is no survival. You are conquered. You are devoured. You are nothing if fear resides in you.

These durable, responsive freestyle boards have become a customer favorite in the CAPiTA line because they’ve proven to survive what you can give them inside or outside the park. They are our number one selling series in Japan. They have won a Transworld Good Wood award for Freestyle boards over $400. They are the go-to board for a majority of our team riders and along with all the performance accolades, they are the industry favorite of those not scared to run a controversial graphic in the line. As one of the most successful lines in CAPiTA history, we’re proud to offer these boards in both cambered and reverse camber Flat Kick versions. You pick!

2009-06-02T14:59:00.000-07:00

2010 Baldface Bro Down Top Choice "Guaranteed To Get Wood" Powder Board.

NO FRIENDS ON POW DAYS.
Why is it that all the powder boards on the market have lame ass graphics and wack ass shapes? Ask yourself, “Do I get stoked to see a penis shaped tip on my board?” What about when I throw this bitch into a little 180 ollie for some fakie pow turns, just in time to get mauled by that split tail?
Do you really want to wiggle your way down the mountain like you’re in a bad ‘80s hot dog movie when there’s a foot of fresh begging to be DESTROYED?
When we think of powder days, straight hauling ass comes to mind. First chairs, solo rides, and a search for the next untouched zone. Double overhead pow turns, cliff drops, and no speed checks before blasting our favorite rollers into oblivion. That’s the shit that gets us stoked to wake up at 6am and be the first one at the hill. And, that’s the shit that motivates us to make this board for you. In building the ultimate powder weapon we had needs to be met:
1. Have a shape that looks like a snowboard, not a penis or a surfboard.
2. Float effortlessly in powder, while maintaining the ability to ride switch when and where we want.
3. Have a tail to stomp landings and power out of turns.
4. Be reasonably priced. In reality, how many days a year will you get the chance to ride this beast? Why should you pay $600+ for a special occasion set up?
5. Have graphics that are gnarly and will get you amped to shred the fuck out everything in sight.
No friends on powder days…not any more. Now there’s Charlie, let’s get radical.

Capita Quiver Killer

2009-06-01T15:39:00.001-07:00

2008 & 2009 Transworld Snowboarding Top 5 Good Wood Half Pipe Board.

In a time of chaos, a pantheon rose from the deep abyss. Blackened sorcerers summoned creatures from parallel worlds as grisly warriors stalked the peaks above. Mortals faced fatigue, famine, and mountainsides insurmountable without the weaponry of warlocks. Those weapons cut deep through the frozen slopes and slashed snow into the loin cloths of any warrior who stood in the way. The mystical weaponry was feared by man and god alike, emancipating the ways of the Quiver Killers.

With the recent reverse camber craze, many shredders are sharing lustful thoughts of a personal board quiver. If money really grew on trees, wed all have a closet full of snowboards, each with different shapes to address that particular days riding style. Unfortunately thats not reality for most of us, and luckily, now its not a necessity. If you ride everything and can only get one board this year, the CAPiTA Quiver Killer is for you. Hailed as the #3 half pipe board in the world and 2x Transworld Top Five Pipe Good Wood award winner, the Quiver Killer needs no warm up period. Comfortable and stable out of the box while still quick edge to edge, these boards can handle anything the mountain can dish out. And, with a price tag hundreds of dollars less than its Good Wood peers, these boards are undeniably the best high performance product for the price, industry wide.

CAPiTA Midnight

2009-06-01T12:50:00.000-07:00

We try over and over again, bloody knees and tears. Eventually something clicks. Our hearts glow and we know exactly what to do to make things right.

Light, strong, and easy to ride through variable terrain, these boards were engineered for women who know how to ride but dont want a board that will try to ride them. The sidewall construction provides stability while the carbon enhanced glass and lightweight core matrix provide power and precision to the progressive freestyle female rider.

CAPiTA Horrorscope

2009-06-01T12:49:00.000-07:00

2010 Transworld Good Wood winner for Freestyle Boards under $400.

Through the Horrorscope we peer into the cesspit of creative stagnation and general malaise that has plagued our world. An abomination abandoned at birth, crawling for breath, we find this newborn slithering painfully to the top of the pile. Nature always has an answer. And from the belly of desolation will we always find evolution. Unnoticed at first, this creature will grow strong. It will rise above the hardknocks, the beatdowns, the insults and ridicules, and come back with sharper teeth, deadlier poisons, and more powerful laser beams. Bear witness to the Second Coming.

The Horrorscope FK was born as a late release limited edition board for 2008 and the entire global retail allotment sold out within hours of its release. The demand was so strong we made an extra run of boards for our favorite shop employees, and have now added two new wide boards to the line up for 09/10. The reverse camber Flat Kick application means two things: one: Pre-loaded positioning for expert level jibbers, and two: easy turnin’, mindless shreddin’ for those intermediate riders that want to expedite the learning curve. The Horrorscope FK: TAKES NO EFFORT! STABLE AT HIGH SPEEDS! PERFECT FOR HANGOVERS! JIB LIKE A MAD MAN!

CAPiTA Space Metal Fantasy

2009-06-01T12:48:00.001-07:00

2010 Transworld Good Wood winner for Women's Freestyle Boards under $400.

Before the Doom of Ayreon fell upon Bal Sagoth, there was The Last Dance of the Unicorn in the Final Summer. It was from that dance the Universal Migrator was finally roused from its millenia long slumber and thus hope was borne upon its flight. Godspeed you Atlantis Ascendant for the Doom is at your back and only the skull catacomb of the Temple of Thiell await if you shall fail.

Modeled after the Horrorscope FK, the reverse camber Flat Kick application of the SMF yields the same major results. Elevated contact points provide a very forgiving, fun experience for intermediate riders looking to expedite the learning curve, and pre-loaded camber
positioning helps expert level jibbers looking to impress.

CAPiTA Stairmaster

2009-06-01T12:48:00.000-07:00

2009 Transworld Good Wood winner for Freestyle Boards under $400.

Whispered words, secret handshakes, metaphors, jargon, signals, and ciphers. The world is encrypted. Sometimes we are the insiders, the outsiders, or the inbetweeners. Behind every sign is an unspoken truth. Be a part of or be apart. A wink, a nod, a knowing smile.

The Stairmaster originated as a board discounted out of the box that’s smaller, wider, softer, and designed for maneuverability around the park. The ride-ability of this series has become legendary in relation to the price tag, and the overwhelming demand for these boards continues after being named the #4 Men’s Freestyle board in the world under $400 while beating every other board in the Top 10 on price.

CAPiTA Saturnia

2009-05-30T16:19:00.000-07:00

2009 Transworld Good Wood winner for Women's Freestyle Boards under $400.

From bouts with desperate love and desires beyond reach, we are familiar with the ways of a heavy heart. We’ve longed for change, and made a discovery. The willful retreat into an abstract immersion of youth can lead to happier times. Nothing but new wave, animal print, school supplies, culture clubs, mall jobs, and dreamy dates exist in our new world of joyous naïveté. With the exception of purple rain and boys named George, 80’s pop is still our culture. Now, if we can only be saved by the bell, we’ll party.

Engineered to be a “Stairmaster for Women,” the Saturnia is light, strong, and easy to ride through obstacles and jumps in the park. It has everything you need, nothing you don’t, and like the Stairmaster
series, the exceptional ride-ability and on-snow experience of the Saturnia greatly exceeds the price tag. Transworld Snowboarding Magazine’s test results held the Saturnia as the #3 Women’s board in
the world under $400, while it beat four of the top five boards on price.

Capita Horrorscope FK, $349

Here’s what the testers had to say:

“Awesome board for rail riding a little soft for bigger jumps. Great in pow though.”
“First impression, I thought this board would be just a noodle. But the edges held so well for how soft it was and it made jumping a possibility.”
“Total jib board, pretty fun.”
“This board is really fun on both jumps and rails. It’s got a good medium flex that’s stable on jump landings and easy to press. ”

2010 Good Wood Capita Space Metal Fantasy FK
Capita Space Metal Fantasy FK, $349

Here’s what the testers had to say:

“Pretty fun and jibby but way soft when it comes to jumping.”
“This board was so soft! Loved the torsional stiffness, but longitudinally it was almost too soft and wobbly.”
“Holy shit! This board was f*&kin’ amazing! I ride a 142-ish usually making this board pretty huge for me and I still felt right at home on it. That’s a rarity!”
“This board rules. The softest board you’ll ever ride and so fun on rails. Tail can give out a little if you’re sending it, but for rails and overall fun, this board rocks.”
“This is a fun park board, nice and buttery.”
“The most flexible board I’ve ever ridden. Perfect as a rail board.”

2009 Good Wood: Capita Stairmaster / Scaremaster

This true twin, even-flexing freestyle board will have you tearing through features in the park. With a softer flex and wider body, the Stairmaster is meant to be ridden in a shorter length. One run will reveal that this board is in its element in the park, but performs just as well all over the mountain.

Tester feedback:

“Pops with amazing power and snap. Powerful enough to charge, soft enough to enjoy. Perfect ‘any day at the mountain’ board.”

“So sick! It felt like I was riding my own board. This was one of my favorites.”

Tester feedback:

“This board felt awesome, smooth, and so comfortable in the park. Super easy to press on rails, but still smooth and solid on jumps.”

“This is a really fun all-around board. It feels very stable over bumps, jumps, and on landings, while keeping good flex for maximum fun on rails.”

Available sizes: 140, 143, 146, 149, 152

2009 Good Wood: Capita FCG

Tester feedback:

“This board rocks for the way I ride. It feels great, you can just get into having fun riding on everything.”

The redesigned directional twin has a radial sidecut but with a longer nose than tail-a perfect shape for the pipe. This design allows the board to enter and exit turns on the same arch with a smooth consistent turning radius, but the board is more versatile in varying conditions.

“It was pretty stiff, which was awesome in the pipe. The board felt really stable all around and was even fun on the jumps.”
“Holds an edge great even through a kink in the pipe.”

Two X-shaped carbon fiber beams in the center of this true twin board deliver plenty of torsional stiffness while still keeping the tip and tail flexy for jibbing. A smooth radial sidecut and centered stance complete the stick.

Tester feedback:
“This board honestly crushed every section of the park. With perfect flex spinability and tracking in turns, this board is the whole package.”
“Perfect pop for me-quick, snappy. Ninja on takeoffs. Nice flex for jibbing. Nice and light flying around turns.”

TransWorld Top 10: 2001 Capita Black Snowboard of Death

Don’t let the intimidating board graphics fool you¿test cards conclude that the Black Snowboard of Death model is especially fun and easy to ride. With a narrow waist width of 24 centimeters and a soft flex pattern, stability isn’t the focus of Capita’s first-year offering. As Jenke put it: “the Black Snowboard of Death is kinda skittish, but super fun on smaller jumps¿good pop and sidecut.”

Even though Ami thought “it performed equally well everywhere,” jumps and rails are where the Black Snowboard of Death really shines. Effortless turn initiation and a nice, snappy flex made other test boards feel lethargic in comparison. If 70-foot tables or 40-foot cliffs are your thang¿get the J. Brown/Blue Montgomery creation out of your head. But if techy rides through the park are on your agenda, and your feet are in the zone of normality, check this one out.
