PROFILE:

• HYBRID/CAMBER: RESORT 2 DIRECTIONAL - The RESORT V2 profile offers the best of both worlds for any terrain. It features camber in the center of the board that extends beyond the inserts for excellent edge hold at high speeds and in all conditions, while rocker outside the bindings provides great float in fresh snow.

TECHNICAL DETAILS:

• CORE: HOVER CORE™ - An energetic core made of poplar and paulownia. Extremely lightweight and strong with excellent damping properties.

• FIBERGLASS: HOLYSHEET™ TRI/BI - has a higher glass-to-mass ratio than standard 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 an eco-friendly resin for all its boards, produced with zero waste and greenhouse gas emissions. It also offers high performance with reduced heat demand, resulting in lower energy consumption during the snowboard production 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!
• SINTERED BASE: HYPERDRIVE™ is a unique formula created specifically for the CAPITA The Mothership factory, which you won't find anywhere else. Capita engineers worked tirelessly with a leading polyethylene supplier to create this material with extraordinary sliding properties, resulting from high molecular weight and special additives in the production process. The sintered material has a patented composition and is incredibly fast. CAPITA fans ride hard, so we used the most advanced, fastest base available on the market.

• EDGES: 360-degree steel HRC48 Steel Edges.
• SIDE CUT: NEW AGE PROGRESSIVE DEATH GRIP™ - an advanced edge cut that combines the features of a progressive edge and Death Grip™ technology. The progressive edge consists of two or more radii, allowing easier turn initiation, greater control, and maximum power when exiting the turn. Death Grip™ adds a reverse arc in the middle of the board, increasing the contact point for better grip and precise pressure application. The combination of these two technologies in the NEW AGE PROGRESSIVE edge makes the board exceptionally versatile, offering easy turn initiation, excellent control throughout the turn, and maximum power when exiting, while providing an additional contact point and control thanks to Death Grip™ technology.
• SIDEWALL: full ABS1000 sidewalls.
• INSERTS: stainless steel 4x2 inserts
• LAMINATE: PLT™ - The PLT™ technology is exclusive to CAPiTA MFG and magically fuses the top layer with the already pressed snowboard. This is unique in the snowboard industry as the rest of the world applies top graphic layers using glue, heat, and pressure during the pressing stage. This causes the fiberglass structure underneath to show through the top layer. And since no one wants to spend their hard-earned money on an uneven snowboard, many companies also cover their boards with a thick, toxic lacquer to level 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 beautifully multi-layered laminate. The combination of matte, glossy elements, and gold lettering makes an impressive visual impact. In addition to the final pressing of ink into the board, CAPiTA uses digital printing and classic screen printing throughout the production process, ensuring multi-layered graphics.

ADDITIONALS:

• 4 x 25mm CARBONFLAX™ AMPLIFIER - is a next-generation technology that provides incredible pop and energy transfer. By incorporating carbon and flax, it enhances the board's responsiveness and overall performance.

MADE IN AUSTRIA! Capita produces and works on new technologies in its own factory, which is not the norm in the industry. This ensures access to the best technologies in the production of their own boards. CAPiTA MFG – The Mothership is an example of how modern production should operate. ZERO CO2 emissions, energy sourced from renewable resources, and 98% of materials for board production come from nearby regions, thus minimizing pollution from transportation. The factory has its own test slope for new solutions!
