SPECS:

These perfectly balanced all-terrain freeride boards are stable and supportive—yet forgiving and easy to ride at the same time. Featuring camber underfoot for controlled turns and a rockered nose and tail that floats in powder, the Paradise rides above the choppy stuff that life on the mountain can throw at you. These highly sought-after decks feature a poppy, lightweight, and powerful FSC® Certified Multizone Core™ combined with super-strength 4x20mm Carbon Aramid Beams, among other performance-enhancing construction characteristics.

With the twin-tip design lines of a freestyle board and the camber theory of a freeride board, these boards offer confident control every rider will love. If you like to cruise side-country powder in the morning and laps through the park in the afternoon, this is the board for you.

CAMBER

Resort V3 Profile – The RESORT V3 Profile provides the best of both worlds. It has a raised camber platform through the inserts to retain high-speed edge hold through variable terrain, elevated contact points to land and float in powder, and traditional tip and tail arcs for smoother transitions.

SHAPE

Directional Twin - Constructed the same from nose to tail, this board will ride switch and regular equally well for controlled jumps, landings, turns, and spins, with a 0.5" set back to give you a boost in float and forward-facing performance.

Radial Sidecut - A Radial sidecut is a single radius design that allows your board to start and finish a turn on the same arc.

CORE

FSC Certified Multizone Core™ – Poppy lightweight Poplar core combined with Beech for increased power and durability. Newly re-engineered to taper between the insert packs for a more forgiving flex.

LAMINATES

Special Blend Fiberglass with Magic Bean Resin and 4x30mm Carbon Boosters

This construction incorporates an ideal blend of bi-axial fiberglass above and below the core, measured for optimal performance, and is laminated with structural additives to fine-tune ride characteristics creating an easy to ride board that offers high degrees of forgiveness.

The Magic Bean resin system, developed over three years, is plant-based with high bio-content, zero waste, and no greenhouse emissions. It requires low production temperatures while delivering high yield, strength, and durability. Its enhanced rigidity allows for a thinner wood core, reducing weight while increasing energy return for a lighter, more responsive board.

Carbon fiber is known for its strength, lightness, and heat resistance. CAPiTA customises its properties, amount, and location in the board to boost power and responsiveness while maintaining an ultra-lightweight design. This consists of two carbon strips underneath the core in the tip and the tail.

TOPSHEET

CAPiTA uses their exclusive PLT Technology which bonds the topsheet into the already pressed snowboard without having fiberglass structure to show through the topsheet. This creates a seamless connection and does not require an additional layer of lacquer to smooth out the top of the snowboard, saving on both using environmentally unfriendly materials and adding unnecessary weight to the snowboard.

CAPiTA creates their incredibly detailed and vibrant topsheet designs using a combination of digital and hand screen printing methods. Their PAM16000 Printing technology utilises 16,000 individual inkjet nozzles to produce flawless digital graphics with solventless, water-based UV ink—delivering exceptional accuracy, quality, and speed. Additionally, every CAPiTA topsheet includes a portion that is silkscreened through a hand screen printing process, adding unique texture and depth to the final design.

 SPECS:

The Indoor Survival is a standout performer both at the resort and in the park. It achieves this through its innovative Meta Core™ and Titanal Centerline Booster, which provide exceptional underfoot responsiveness while maintaining a lightweight construction. Furthermore, the Indoor Survival features the New Age Twin shape with Death Grip™, allowing you to maximize its carving prowess, enhancing your experience on the slopes.

LAMINATE

The Holysheet fiberglass construction utilises fiberglass weaves designed for high tensile strength and low elasticity. By incorporating a greater roving count without increasing weight, this configuration enhances board strength and responsiveness. Many popular models are designed with tri-axial fiberglass layered above the core and bi-axial fiberglass underneath, resulting in a well-balanced ride that enhances both strength and durability.

The Magic Bean resin system, developed over three years, is plant-based with high bio-content, zero waste, and no greenhouse emissions. It requires low production temperatures while delivering high yield, strength, and durability. Its enhanced rigidity allows for a thinner wood core, reducing weight while increasing energy return for a lighter, more responsive board.

A full-length Titanal centerline provides exceptional stability and superior dampening for a smooth, controlled ride.

BASE

The Quantum Drive base is built for speed and durability, this sintered base holds more wax for a longer, faster ride. It’s designed to stay smooth and strong, making it a top choice for riders who want reliable performance in any condition.

Sublimation is a fine-tuned process that brings graphics to life with bold, vibrant colors. By using heat and pressure, ink is embedded into the base material rather than just sitting on top, making the designs pop. Since the base is thicker and more opaque than topsheets, this technique enhances colour depth and clarity.

CAMBER

The ALPINE V3 profile has a deeper traditional camber that zeros out before the end of the sidecut. The small zero camber sections provide a more controlled ride while retaining the response and power of a throwback cambered board.

Designed as a “tween-age” destroyer, these boards form a bridge between the boys and the men. It’s here where the kids start riding better than their parents if that hasn’t happened already.

Inspired by the award-winning D.O.A. series, the Children of the Gnar features a next-generation hybrid camber design that delivers the pop and response of a camber board with the predictability of reverse camber. Although this series is very forgiving and promotes skill-building, it is no toy. The Children of the Gnar features premium quality components like the Select 2.0 Core™, making it the go-anywhere, do-anything freestyle deck for young shredders during those in-between years.

XXX[Truded]™ Base – If there’s one thing we know about kids and groms, it’s that they can be hard on their gear and they’re never going to wax their snowboard. The XXX[TRUDED] base material is a high density extruded base material that is durable and low maintenance. The relative surface strength equals a base that will last longer and be more durable when jibbing and ripping around the mountain.
