James from the Good Ride compares the Black Snowboard of Death to other boards in the CAPiTA lineup and expands on their similarities and differences.
This iconic CAPiTA series is packed with technology—integrating a Thermopolymer Hover Core™ with Carbon Fleece Power Shields™ and Carbonflax™ Amplifiers for a high-powered construction which allows for incredible control.
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.
Construction

Diecut Matte + Gloss Topsheet
Silkscreen
HOLYSHEET™ TRI/TRI + MAGIC BEAN™ RESIN
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.
4 x 20 MM FAIRMAT™ CARBON AMPLIFIERS
FAIRMAT™ Carbon Amplifiers are an innovative carbon additive utilizing recycled carbon material from the Aerospace Industry. Engineered to match the toughest conditions without exhausting resources, this next-generation material brings the reactive energy, strength and lightweight properties of carbon together in a sustainable, circular construction.
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.
4 x 20 mm CARBONFLAX™ AMPLIFIERS
FAIRMAT™ Carbon Amplifiers are an innovative carbon additive utilizing recycled carbon material from the Aerospace Industry. Engineered to match the toughest conditions without exhausting resources, this next-generation material brings the reactive energy, strength and lightweight properties of carbon together in a sustainable, circular construction.
HYPERDRIVE™ ADV XT 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. We have increased the thickness of our XT bases for enhanced durability.
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 as f*#k to the lift line or to the finish line.
INLAID ALLOY SKID PLATES
Integrated into the tail, this high-strength aluminum plate adds a layer of durability—protecting against impact, while enhancing power transfer and stability.
