Winter is coming and the shop is stocking up on CAPiTA. If you haven't ridden one, CAPiTA is a rider-owned brand out of Seattle that builds its boards in its own factory in Austria, "The Mothership," and puts some of the wildest graphics in snowboarding on top of them. We've got a handful of last season's boards ready to ride right now, and the full 2026/27 line is on the way.

In stock now: 2025/26 boards
These are one-of-a-kind sizes. When they're gone, they're gone.
- Dark Horse 148cm: a team-favorite park twin with Park V1 camber and carbon-aramid boosters. Pop and drive for jumps, rails and side hits without the premium price tag. $499.95
- Super D.O.A. 155cm Wide: the upgraded Defenders of Awesome. Same do-everything twin, with a lighter Starship core and a faster sintered base. Wide waist for bigger boots. $799.95
- Aeronaut 156cm Wide: Arthur Longo's directional carver. Traditional camber and a slight taper hold a hard edge on groomers and still float when it's soft. $699.95
- The Navigator 155cm: a tapered powder board that still behaves on the groomers. Floats easy, turns quick and feels surfy. $649.95
- Spring Break Stairmaster 156cm Wide: the skate-inspired twin from CAPiTA's Spring Break line, built for rails, street features and side hits. $479.95
- Space Metal Fantasy 145cm Wide (women's): a forgiving, catch-free women's freestyle twin. A confidence builder for progressing riders and park laps. $449.95
- Children of the Pow 130cm (kids'): a little powder board with a directional shape and surf rocker, so kids get easy float and smooth turns. $399.95
