Description
2025 Capita Mega Death Snowboard
Inspired by the legacy of the Black Snowboard of Death, yet custom designed for an unmatched ultralight and powerful performing ride, we present the MEGA DEATH — a high-end, high-tech freeride machine unlike anything else. The MEGA DEATH is quite simply the board that everyone wants, but not everyone will get to have. A truly versatile, high-performance freeride machine – ready to charge anything you dare point down.
The Mega Death is a series unlike anything else. Ultra-premium and ultra-featherweight, this series features the pinnacle of technical advancements from The MotherShip™. This beast of a board will propel you to unimaginable speeds with its Thermopolymer Starship Core™ wrapped in Pure Megacarbon™ and MEGADRIVE™ XT base with factory-direct Moonshot Omni Tune™ stone grind.
CAMBER PROFILE
- Alpine V1 Profile – 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.
FLEX
- Flex – 6.5/10 (1=Soft,10=Stiff)
- Directional Flex
SHAPE
- Death Grip™ – Death Grip™ is a design theory that incorporates a reverse sidecut arc in the midsection of the board. This reverse camber arc provides a point of contact to apply pressure and retain control throughout the turn in both freestyle and freeride settings.
CORE
- FSC® Certified 3D Thermopolymer Starship Core™ – Utilizing an advanced electronic sorting system allows Capita to select mega-premium, reforestation certified, Poplar graded by weight and grain consistency. Comparable to Paulownia in strength to weight ratio, this core retains the poppiness of Poplar, and then achieves a signature feel by adding bonded post-consumer recycled Thermopolymer channels to form an advanced hybrid core. This mega-premium core will blast you into space and beyond.
LAMINATES
- Megacarbon™ Array – Mega-wide carbon tape on both top and bottom of the woodcore = four times the power and response of previous carbon additives.
- Inlaid Alloy Skid Plates – Reinforced with an ultralight skid plate, refined and reshaped to shave weight.
SIDEWALLS
- Full ABS1000 Sidewalls
BASE
- NEW - Megadrive™ XT Base – Striving to kit out their MEGA line-up with the most advanced and premium components, the all new MEGADRIVE™ base is as fast as science can make it. This is a pure race base composed of UHMW polyethylene modified with high carbon content and special fluoro additives for lightspeed gliding in a wide range of conditions. Capita has increased the thickness of their XT bases for enhanced durability.
- Moonshot Omni-Tune™ – Aftermarket performance stone grind structure straight from The Mothership, optimized for regular and switch riding.
- Die-Cut Base
EDGES
- 360 Degree HRC48 Steel Edges
GRAPHICS
- Multitech™ Level 5 DeepSpace™ Silkscreen – The DEEPSPACE™ Design Theory takes advantage of the thickness of a transparent topsheet. Strategically layering ink on multiple levels from the top and the bottom imbues graphics with a sense of life through depth.
BINDING COMPATIBILITY
- Stainless Steel 2 x 4 Inserts
