Women's Snowboard CAPITA The Equalizer 142 2025

Inspired by Jess Kimura's transition from street to backcountry, the Equalizer was born to level the playing field in the mountains and offer riders a high-end all-mountain option designed specifically for women. The series now features an updated, specially designed RESORT V2 hybrid camber profile, providing positive camber throughout the length of the board for control during carving, while reverse camber on the nose and tail maximizes float in deep snow, making you a better snowboarder in variable terrain and conditions.

The ride and response of The Equalizer is excellent thanks to the META Core™, which provides the desired flex for all-mountain terrain, while the Technora™ + Flax Boosters deliver longitudinal stiffness. This board also features a very fast Quantum Drive™ sintered base, making The Equalizer one of the most technically advanced women's freeride boards on the market.

PROFILE:

• HYBRID/CAMBER: RESORT 2 DIRECTIONAL - The RESORT V2 profile This revolutionary shape for all-terrain offers the best of both worlds. It has camber in the center of the board ending past the inserts for excellent edge hold at high speeds and in all conditions, and rocker beyond the bindings for great performance in fresh snow.

TECHNICAL DETAILS:

• CORE: META CORE™ - Capita has used an extremely lightweight P2 Superlight Core™ and added stiffer, perfectly damping beech wood inserts running through the inserts to increase strength and further enhance pop.

• FIBER: HOLYSHEET™ TRI/BI - has a higher glass-to-weight ratio than normal fiberglass. The top layer has a triple weave, which increases responsiveness and stiffness, while the bottom layer has a double weave to maintain the freestyle character of the board.
• RESIN: MAGIC BEAN™ RESIN - Capita uses eco-friendly resin for all its boards, which is produced without waste and greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, it provides high performance with reduced heat demand, meaning less energy consumption in the snowboard manufacturing process. This allows the core to be lighter while maintaining the same board properties. That's why CAPiTA boards are among the lightest on the market!
• BASE: QUANTUM DRIVE™ BASE - Stronger, tougher, faster! The Quantum Drive base is an upgraded sintered polyethylene with ultra-high molecular weight and ultra-high density - the Millennium Falcon among bases, a very durable sintered base.

• EDGES: 360-degree HRC48 Steel Edges.
• SIDECUT: BLENDED RADIAL - This advanced solution combines the benefits of classic edge designs with modern innovations, improving the overall riding characteristics of the snowboard. This construction combines a classic straight radius on the middle part of the board with unique blending zones at the contact points. The middle part provides stability and predictability while riding, and the blended parts are areas where the board edge smoothly transitions from one radius to another, allowing the board to better adapt to different conditions and riding styles. Benefits: better control, greater versatility, and smoother ride.
• SIDEWALL: full ABS1000 sidewall protection.
• INSERTS: stainless steel 4x2 inserts
• LAMINATE: PLT™ - The PLT™ Technology is exclusive to CAPiTA MFG and magically bonds the top sheet with the already pressed snowboard. This is unique in the snowboard industry, as the rest of the world applies top sheets using glue, heat, and pressure during the pressing stage. This causes the fiberglass structure underneath to show through the top sheet. And because no one wants to spend their hard-earned money on an uneven snowboard, many companies additionally coat their boards with thick, toxic varnish to smooth the surface. Not only is this HEAVY and can lead to unsightly cracks, but it is also very unhealthy for the work environment. The PLT™ machine produces a feather-light, smooth, glossy finish without all that toxic ballast, resulting in a great-looking multi-level laminate structure. The combination of matte, glossy elements and gold lettering makes an amazing impression. Apart from the final pressing of the ink into the board, CAPiTA uses digital printing and classic screen printing throughout the production process, ensuring multi-layered graphics.

EXTRAS:

• 2 x 30mm TECHNORA™ FLAX BOOSTERS - Aramid fibers interwoven with flax fiber, which absorb shocks well, increase power, and response time.

MADE IN AUSTRIA! Capita manufactures and works on new technologies in its own factory, which is not a standard in the industry. This ensures access to the best technologies in the production of their boards. CAPiTA MFG – The Mothership is an example of how modern production should work. ZERO CO2 emissions, energy sourced from renewable sources, and 98% of materials for board production are sourced from the nearest regions, thus not contributing to pollution from transport. The factory has its own slope for testing new solutions!
