The Sidewinder is your resort missile, purpose-built for carving trenches with surgical precision. With a directional shape, powerful posi-camber profile, and a torsional flex tuned to respond. This board begs to be laid on edge—and rewards riders who know how to drive. Whether you're railing corduroy at dawn or hunting groomers at dusk, the Sidewinder is your new tool for arc-making glory.
Featuring a robust and dependable construction, the all-new Sidewinder proves that high performance and high value can coexist in a price-accessible carving machine. Elongated blend curves enable easy turn entry, while the tapered silhouette and articulated tail provide powerful exits—the Sidewinder will empower you to stalk the mountain and strike at will.
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.

What makes this board
Insert Pack
A standard snowboard insert layout provides multiple stance-width and setback positions.
Laminates
A biaxial wet layup with Magic Bean resin creates a durable, responsive and energy-efficient construction.
SPECIAL BLEND is an eco-friendly wet lay-up process that uses our MAGIC BEAN™ resin component requiring lower consumption of energy and yielding higher technical properties. This adhesion process improves the factory's working environment, as it does not contain some of the same harsh chemical characteristics used in resins at other factories around the world.
Core
A poplar and beech core combines lightweight pop with added power and durability.
Poppy lightweight Poplar core combined with Beech for increased power and durability.
Edges
A reverse sidecut arc at the board’s midpoint adds a contact point for stronger edge control.
Base
A high-density sintered UHMW polyethylene base improves durability, wax absorption and sustained glide.
The QUANTUM DRIVE™ running base is formulated with a progressive blend of compressed ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethelene. As an evolution from the already blazing fast ULTRADRIVE™, this running base features higher density for durability and absorbs more wax to wick longer and ride faster. Properly maintained sintered bases are fast, durable, and are the preferred choice of many high-end enthusiasts worldwide.
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.
