CAPiTA Performance Profile
How easily does this snowboard bend under pressure? A soft flex is great for fun maneuverability while a stiff flex is better for aggressive high speed hill bombing.
Beginner level snowboards are fun and approachable for all riders while an advanced snowboard is tuned for a particularly aggressive / athletic style of snowboarding.

The ALPINE V1 Profile design features mid-body camber with a flat tail and a reverse cambered nose
The ALPINE V1 Profile design features mid-body camber with a flat tail and a reverse cambered nose. This allows for tons of pop and stability on hard pack while increasing float and landing power, improving the rider’s performance in deep snow. The camber runs longer in the tail—providing extra power for the ascent or for larger riders drawn to a dedicated wide series.

What makes this board
Insert Pack
A standard snowboard insert layout provides multiple stance-width and setback positions.
Laminates
Triaxial fiberglass above and below the core maximizes strength, durability and response.
HOLYSHEET™ Fiberglass configuration features fiber weaves with a high tensile strength and low modulus of elasticity. With a higher roving count in the same weight of glass, you can have a stronger and more responsive board without adding extra weight.
Core
Select lightweight wood strips and recycled thermopolymer channels balance strength, low weight and dampening.
Enhanced with bonded post-consumer recycled Thermopolymer channels into ultra-lightweight select grain wood core strips, the THERMOPOLYMER HOVER Core™ is extremely light and strong with excellent dampening properties.
Edges
A reverse sidecut arc at the board’s midpoint adds a contact point for stronger edge control.
Base
A proprietary high-molecular-weight sintered base combines low friction, wax retention and increased thickness.
Custom formulated and exclusive to The MotherShip, our engineers have worked tirelessly with the world's leading polyethylene running base supplier to create HYPERDRIVE™. With exceptional anti-friction properties due to high molecular mass and specialized processing aids, this sintered material has a proprietary composition and is beyond fast. Our loyal fans charge hard, and we have integrated the fastest, meanest base available.
Weight is the most reliable starting point for snowboard length. Height and riding style help fine-tune the recommendation.
Find your starting size by weight, then use height and riding style to fine-tune the fit.
