2026 CAPiTA The Black Snowboard of Death Snowboard
Celebrating 25 years of all-mountain domination, the 2026 CAPiTA BSOD carries its freeride legacy forward with precise control, high-speed stability, and confident edge hold. The Alpine V1 camber with Flat Kick Tech delivers powerful response and smooth release, while a directional shape and tuned flex keep the tail driving through chutes, chop, and long carves. Under the hood, a Thermopolymer Hover Core™ teams up with CarbonFlax™ Amplifiers, Carbon Fleece reinforcement, and Amplitex V-Tech to add pop and dampening without weight. Topped off with a Hyperdrive™ base and Moonshot Omni-Tune™, this is the seasoned weapon for riders who like to charge.
Graphics vary by size; the 159 features the Kevin Jones signature red colorway.

Camber Profile
- Alpine V1 Profile Directional + Flat Kick Tech – Traditional camber through the middle for control and drive, with flat sections under the tail and reverse camber in the nose for float and landing power. The camber extends longer through the tail for added energy and stability, especially for bigger riders and technical terrain.
Flex
- Flex Rating: 6.5/10 (Medium-Firm) – A powerful yet responsive flex that balances stability at speed with precision for steep, technical freeriding.
- Directional Flex – Stiffer in the tail and slightly softer in the nose for enhanced drive, control, and added float.
Shape
- Directional – With a 0.5" setback, this shape provides power and control off the tail while keeping the nose longer for stability in deep snow and steeps.
Sidecut
- New Age Directional with Death Grip™ – A multi-radius sidecut with an added reverse camber arc between the inserts, creating an extra contact point for powerful grip and confidence on hardpack and icy terrain.
Core
- Thermopolymer Hover Core™ – Ultra-lightweight and extremely strong, enhanced with recycled polymer channels for high-energy response and vibration dampening.
Laminates
- 4 x 25mm CarbonFlax™ Amplifier – Carbon and flax fiber strips add snappy power and stability while reducing vibration.
- Carbon Fleece Power Shield™ – Improves torsional strength and underfoot response for aggressive freeriding without harshness.
- Holysheet™ TRI/TRI Fiberglass – Triaxial fiberglass layup maximizes energy transfer, pop, and durability.
- Amplitex V-Tech Amplifier – Natural flax fibers blended with carbon create a lightweight, responsive, and durable reinforcement for dynamic performance.
Base
- Hyperdrive™ Base – High-performance sintered base built for maximum speed and durability, finished with factory-direct Moonshot Omni-Tune™ for optimized glide.
- UlltraLight™ Skid Plate – Adds impact resistance and durability in high-wear zones.
Additional Features
- Magic Bean™ Resin – Eco-friendly, plant-based resin with powerful bonding strength and enhanced energy properties.
- PLT Topsheet Technology™ – Lacquer-free topsheet construction with a premium gloss + matte finish.
- Metallic Underlay – Adds a subtle shimmer to the 25th anniversary graphic.
