Men's Capita THE BLACK SNOWBOARD OF DEATH Snowboard
Product Details
THE BLACK SNOWBOARD OF DEATH
With legendary status as an all-terrain slayer and too many accolades to name, The Black Snowboard of Death has been continually morphed and modified in pursuit of perfection.
The only element that has remained the same over the years is the name itself.
This iconic CAPiTA series is packed with technology integrating post-consumer recycled plastics into an extraordinarily lightweight and powerful core alongside a Carbon Fleece Power Shield™ and Amplitex™ V-Tech Amplifiers.
The contemporary Black Snowboard of Death features a slightly wider frame with tighter sidecut arcs and Death Grip™, a reverse sidecut arc in the midsection that enables the shape to whip into quick turns.
With a well-balanced directional shape and high-powered construction, this custom-designed rocket ship allows for incredible control—making you a better snowboarder in variable terrain and changing conditions.

Camber
ALPINE V1
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.

Core
THERMOPOLYMER HOVER CORE™
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.
AMPLITEX™ V-TECH AMPLIFIER
Amplitex™ is a next-generation natural flax fiber woven with carbon strands that is featured in our high-end snowboard constructions.
This fusion tape brings the best of two world; the reactive energy of carbon and the lightweight and dampening aspects of flax.
CARBON FLEECE POWER SHIELD™
With two Carbon Fleece power pads underfoot, maximum thrusting power is achieved for ollies and stability under varied-terrain while torsional forgiveness allows for ease of command while in battle.
Laminates
SKINLESS™ CORE ASH WOODGRAIN TOPSHEET
Specially treated pure wood veneer topsheet with a unique tactile feel that is 220gm lighter than the standard process.
HOLYSHEET™ TRIAXIAL FIBERGLASS
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.
Magic Bean Resin
This advanced resin system has a bio-content of 60% renewable, agricultural raw material and is produced with no waste or greenhouse emissions.
In production, it has a low-temperature requirement with a high yield output.
Poppy, powerful, and extremely durable, MAGIC BEAN™ resin yields much stronger and more rigid qualities allowing a decrease in the wood core thickness.
This means you get a lighter board while achieving higher energy return.
Base
HYPERDRIVE™ ADV BASE
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.
MOONSHOT OMNI-TUNE™
The MOONSHOT OMNI-TUNE™ is an aftermarket high-performance race-base structure that wicks water from your base at a 45-degree angle making these boards fast to the lift line or to the finish line.

Additional Features
By the most experienced crafters.
At The MotherShip™, the renowned tradition of snowboard manufacturing in the Austrian Alps runs deep.
Our craftsmen meticulously press each board with a bespoke, computer-controlled, recipe of ingredients to deliver an optimal ride experience.
Freshly pressed boards undergo hand inspection before moving on to the grinding and finishing stages.
Machine precision meets hand inspection.
Before leaving the production line every snowboard undergoes a meticulous final hand inspection. We hold our boards to rigorous standards to ensure they meet your high expectations.
Each CAPiTA snowboard leaving our facility is certified as world-class and proudly sealed with the MotherShip™ quality control stamp of approval.
Thermal Insert Drilling
Unlike other snowboard factories that rely on a human hand and a standard drill for tapping board inserts, which can be prone to imprecision and generate excess scrap, The Mothership stands out with its newly developed automated thermal insert drilling technology.
This advanced system utilizes thermal scanning to identify the precise location of each insert and taps them with robotic precision.
The result is a precise insert connection that instills confidence in a higher-performing product, guaranteeing a solid binding-to-snowboard connection.

The MotherShip™ Connection "NFC"
Enhanced Precision Through Technology
In 2020, The Mothership became the first in the snowboard industry to introduce an NFC system in our snowboards.
This chip enables precise tracking of each board's production journey, resulting in higher quality and reduced waste.
Beyond the production floor, we have taken NFC capabilities to the next level.
Now, you can connect with your board by simply scanning it with your phone.
This NFC interface enables you to register your snowboard, streamlining the customer service process and granting exclusive early access to new product information, drops, and CAPiTA team videos exclusively for NFC-registered users
