Our NEW AGE PROGRESSIVE sidecuts are progressive sidecuts that incorporates DEATH GRIP™.Our NEW AGE RADIAL sidecut employs the same arc from contact point to contact point allowing the board to have a true twin tip shape that utilizes DEATH GRIP™ technology for enchanced control.A PROGRESSIVE sidecut consists of two or more radii blended together to accomodate the three stages of a turn. They provide easy turn initiation while o■ering greater control throughout the turn and maximum power when exiting.A RADIAL sidecut is a single radius design that allows your board to start and finish a turn on the same arc.BLENDED RADIAL sidecuts feature a single radius arc through the midsection of the board combined with a custom designed blend zone at the contact points. Varying the length of these blend zones and tailoring them specifically for certain aspects of riding greatly improves a board’s performance. Inspired by a combination of surfboard design and on snow riding functionality, the all new SURF BLENDED RADIAL sidecut is the ultimate powder surfing shape. This shape features a radial sidecut just through and past the inserts, followed by a huge smooth reverse blend zone and then topped o■ with a ton of taper. Surf the earth and get loose in the white room! Engineered 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. A PARABOLIC sidecut consists of a mirror-symmet-rical curve. In snowboard terms, this design creates a board with a deeper sidecut and a quicker turning point in the center compared to radial arcs. Technology integrated into snowboard construction a■ects many characteristics of a board’s performance. Flex, along with weight, stability, energy and other factors come into play when considering whether a board is right for you. Flex may be the most important as it will determine how you are able to manipulate your board on snow. Soft, flexible boards are great for jibbing and overall command over your snowboard, especially in the park. They’re easy to ride and very forgiving. Sti■er boards have more pop, more energy, and more stability at high speeds but they require more e■ort and skill from the rider as well. All boards in this catalog are rated on a scale from 1 to 10. The number given is the estimated resistance the board may provide to the average customer.1 would be the resistance of a noodle, 10 would be the resistance of a tree trunk.All snowboard shapes are designed with four blend zones. This is the area after the sidecut ends and before the nose or tail shape starts. In this small section, the shape of the board must transition from a sidecut arc going one direction into the tip shape arc going in the opposite direction. This critical section of the board is similar to the steering system in your car. It's the driving force in initiating turns and determining where your board is going. A poorly designed blend zone will cause your board to be hooky or turn slowly and could limit your ability to transition between edges. CAPiTA has taken the time to pay distinct attention to this detail; fine-tuning each and every board to make sure your riding experience is balanced and perfect. • MEGA SPLIT• MEGA DEATH• MEGA MERC• THE BLACK SNOWBOARD OF DEATH • MERCURY• INDOOR SURVIVAL• SB RESORT TWIN• AERONAUT• THE OUTSIDERS• ULTRAFEAR • OUTERSPACE LIVING • PARADISE • PATHFINDER • SPACE METAL FANTASY• SB SLUSH SLASHERS 2.0• JESS KIMURA MINI • SCOTT STEVENS MINI • MICRO MINI• SUPER D.O.A.• THE EQUALIZER BY JESS KIMURA• SB POWDER TWIN• D.O.A. • BIRDS OF A FEATHER • CHILDREN OF THE GNAR• SB POWDER GLIDER• SB POWDER RACER SPLIT• SB POWDER RACERS• CHILDREN OF THE POW• KAZU KOKUBO PRO• THE NAVIGATOR• THE NAVIGATOR SPLITDEATH GRIP™ is a design theory that incorporates a reverse sidecut arc in the midsection of the board.

Sidecut dictates the board's turning functionality along with the personality of a snowboard.With CAPiTA’s FLAT KICK design technology, we’ve tightened the tip profile radius that blends the shoulders of the board into the tip and tail height on reverse camber boards. The tight tip radius in conjunction with tuned blend zones allows you to have a forgiving and easy to ride reverse camber board that is still responsive and quick during edge to edge transitions. This also creates a flat tip and tail which increases jibbing stability and also helps the board plane on top of powder creating float and control.
