Snowboard CAPITA Aeronaut 162W 2026

Snowboard CAPiTA Aeronaut 162 Wide 2025

If you squeeze every bit of fun out of resort riding, this board is for you. 

Built for hard charging on groomers and natural features off-piste—just like Arthur Longo does. This series will launch you into orbit thanks to the ultra-fast and incredibly durable sintered HyperDrive™ ADV XT base. The board combines the ultra-light and extremely strong Panda Hover Core™ with Carbon-Flax™ amplifiers, providing massive pop.

For the 2026 season, the Aeronaut’s performance has been refined even further with an improved, stronger HyperDrive™ ADV XT base. 

Side Hit Euphoria™ is the state of fully utilizing every terrain curvature. It has always been regarded as a form of enlightenment—conceptually understood but elusive to most riders who don’t grasp the method required to achieve such an experience. Now, the existential joy of perfect board control and powerful jumps is available to everyone. 

The Aeronaut series, including its graphics, was designed in collaboration with the Rocket Man himself, Arthur Longo. The goal was to create the ultimate resort maximizer for local mountains. The result is a board with a semi-old-school character that honors the traditions of the 1990s—with a directional camber profile that satisfies the most demanding resort riders. 

A slightly wider sidecut combined with a progressive edge and a mildly tapered tail transforms the same runs you’ve ridden a thousand times into an entirely new playground. 

A highly maneuverable board, perfect for exploring the resort.

PROFILE:

• CAMBER: ALPINE V3 – The ALPINE V3 profile features a deeper traditional camber that ends at the contact points. Small zero-camber sections offer more controlled riding while maintaining the reactivity and power of classic camber.

TECH DETAILS:

• FLEX: 6/10
• SHAPE: DIRECTIONAL 0.8” SETBACK
• CORE: PANDA HOVER CORE™ – A completely new core in the CAPiTA line. Super lightweight paulownia and poplar wood core with bamboo power rods running lengthwise for extra power and responsiveness.

• FIBERGLASS: HOLYSHEET™ FIBERGLASS Triax/Biax – HOLYSHEET™ has a higher glass-to-weight ratio than regular fiberglass, providing more strength and pop.
• RESIN: MAGIC BEAN™ RESIN – CAPiTA uses eco-friendly resin produced with zero waste and zero greenhouse gas emissions. It delivers high performance with reduced heat requirements, meaning less energy used during snowboard production. This allows for lighter cores while maintaining strength—making CAPiTA boards among the lightest on the market.
• SINTERED BASE: HYPERDRIVE™ ADV XT BASE – A proprietary formula created exclusively for CAPiTA’s The Mothership factory. Developed in collaboration with the world’s leading polyethylene supplier, this high molecular weight material with special additives delivers incredible speed and durability. This year’s version is even thicker for added strength. CAPiTA riders go hard, so we use the fastest and most advanced base available.
• LAMINATE: Multitech™ Level 4 DeepSpace™ Silkscreen + PAM16000™ Topsheet with Metallic Underlay – A visually stunning multi-layer laminate structure. CAPiTA designed it to be ultra-light, much lighter than traditional lacquered boards.

• SIDEWALL: Full ABS1000 reinforced sidewalls.
• INSERTS: Stainless steel 4x2 inserts.

EXTRAS:

• 3 x 25 mm AMPLITEX™ V-TECH AMPLIFIER – Reinforcement made from AMPLITEX™ material—stiff like carbon, light like flax, and maintains its properties even in very low temperatures.
