CAPITA Kazu Kokubo Pro 161W 2025 snowboard

Snowboard CAPITA Kazu Kokubo Pro 161 Wide 2025

Fast and sharp like a switchblade, this snowboard cuts through backcountry terrain like no other. While many great powder boards are large and surfy, the CAPiTA Kazu Kokubo Pro Snowboard has a compact build with a powder nose and a slightly tapered tail, making this award-winning series quick and maneuverable. This versatility is perfect for those off-piste powder mornings and performs excellently on the resort slopes later in the day. It unleashes maximum power thanks to the new mega-light PANDA HOVER CORE™ with Bamboo Power Rods and CARBONFLAX™ AMPLIFIER strips, which not only reinforce the board but also provide damping functions.

This year, CAPiTA added a new faster and thicker base for Kazu. The enhanced HYPERDRIVE™ ADV XT sintered base has a factory Moonshot Omni Tune™ structure, which additionally channels water and further accelerates your ride.

The top laminate layer covered with wood makes an incredible impression and is also lighter than the classic version. Although it's a high bar, this board is your first step towards emulating Kazu's legendary riding style.

PROFILE:

• CAMBER: RESORT V3 Profile RESORT V3 provides the best of both worlds. It has a raised camber center outside the inserts for edge hold at high speeds in variable terrain, elevated contact points for landing and float in powder, and traditional nose and tail arcs for smoother transitions.

TECHNICAL DETAILS:

• CORE: PANDA HOVER CORE™ - Completely new core in the CAPiTA collection. Super light core made of paulownia and poplar wood with bamboo rods along the length, providing even more power.

• FIBER: HOLYSHEET™ TRI/BI - has a higher glass-to-weight ratio than regular fiberglass. The upper layer has a triaxial weave, increasing responsiveness and stiffness, while the lower layer has a biaxial weave to maintain the freestyle character of the board.
• RESIN: MAGIC BEAN™ RESIN - Capita uses eco-friendly resin for all its boards, 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. Therefore, CAPiTA boards are among the lightest on the market!
• SINTERED BASE: NEW! HYPERDRIVE™ ADV XT BASE™ - a unique formula created exclusively for CAPiTA's 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. This sintered material has a patented composition and is incredibly fast, and this year it is even thicker for increased durability. CAPiTA fans ride hard, so we used the most advanced, fastest base available on the market.

• EDGES: 360-degree HRC48 Steel Edges.
• SIDECUT: RADIAL TAPER - Designed for deep powder but still versatile around the mountain, this RADIAL sidecut is complemented by a TAPERED TAIL. This narrower tail section naturally sinks in the powder while the wider nose section floats above the snow line. The result is less work and more fun as the board surfs on one smooth continual arc.
• SIDEWALL: full ABS1000 sidewalls.
• INSERTS: stainless steel 4x2 inserts
• LAMINATE: SKINLESS™ CORE ASH WOODGRAIN TOPSHEET™ - Specially processed ash wood veneer with a unique tactile feel, 220 g lighter than the standard process. Ash wood is characterized by high strength, flexibility, and low weight, making it an ideal material for snowboards. Its light color and distinct grain give boards an elegant look, and the ease of processing allows for precise finishing. Using ash provides aesthetics, functionality, and durability of the equipment.

EXTRAS:

• 4 x 25mm CARBONFLAX™ AMPLIFIER - next-generation natural flax fiber interwoven with carbon fibers, used in our highest quality snowboard constructions. This tape combines the best features of both materials: the reactive energy of carbon and the lightness and damping properties of flax. Both fibers are highly compatible as they have similar thermal expansion and tensile strength properties, creating a uniform reinforcement that is lightweight, resilient, and durable at the same time.

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