Technical Features

Directional

Directional shape is the classic snowboard shape, designed to be ridden with a slightly longer nose than tail to concentrate pop in the tail while providing plenty of float in powder. A softer nose allows for a smoother roll into your carve, while a stiffer waist and tail provides better control through the turn and a stronger finish.

Alpine V3 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.

Skill Level

With the Sidewinder is designed for those who know how to turn a board. That paired with the camber construction, this board is better suited for those in the intermediate+ to advanced rider range.

Flex Rating

A slightly stiffer than medium flex allows for enhanced control while at speed paired with the traditional camber profile is snappy between turns and easy to pop and fly into the air.

Dual Core™

The CAPiTA Dual Core is a lightweight, highly versatile wood core engineered to deliver a balanced mix of power, durability, and lively pop. By layering full-length Poplar strips with dense Beech stringers along the centerline and insert areas, it combines a lightweight, forgiving flex with structural reinforcement underfoot. The result is a poppy, responsive feel that offers enhanced edge control and impact resistance without adding unnecessary weight to the board.

Special Blend Fiberglass

TThe CAPiTA Special Blend Fiberglass is an eco-conscious, high-performance layup designed to maximize energy return while keeping the board lightweight and durable. It features a custom-woven Biax/Biax fiberglass matrix layered with plant-based Magic Bean™ Resin, an environmentally friendly epoxy that increases tensile strength and bond durability. This combination delivers an incredibly responsive, snappy ride with predictable torsional flex—giving you smooth turn initiation and long-lasting pop without extra weight or harsh rigidity.

Carbon Aramid Boosters

The CAPiTA Carbon Aramid Boosters are high-tensile structural strands woven into the core matrix to dramatically increase power, response, and shock absorption. By blending carbon fiber's explosive pop and torsional stiffness with Aramid’s (Kevlar) vibration-damping flexibility, this reinforcement matrix channels energy directly to your contact points. The result is a featherlight layup that amplifies ollie power and high-speed edge hold while smoothing out chatter across rough snow, all without altering the board’s natural flex pattern.

Quantum Drive™ Base

The CAPiTA Quantum Drive™ Base is an ultra-high-density, sintered polyethylene base engineered for maximum velocity, exceptional wax absorption, and long-lasting durability. Formulated with a custom blend of high-molecular-weight polymers, this hard-charging base drastically reduces friction against the snow, delivering a smooth, lightning-fast glide across variable conditions—from icy hardpack to deep powder. It provides hard-charging speed and high impact resistance with low maintenance requirements, keeping you moving fast all day long.
