CAPiTA
CAPiTA's dedicated powder-focused directional, in the lineup since 2018 and refreshed several times since. The Good Ride found it has a very easy flex for a tapered directional board -- more like a mountain freestyle twin than a stiff freeride tool -- with lively pop on ollies and a rubbery, flexy feel that handles hard micro-bumpy snow reasonably, though it gets bucky in thick messy snow. Snowboarding Profiles agreed it's best for someone who wants a directional powder board that isn't too demanding or fatiguing, particularly strong weaving through trees. The Bomb Hole's Chris Grenier called it his go-to powder board, loving how effortlessly it floats and recommending sizing up given its soft, nimble character. Board of the World's 2025 ice-and-hardpack-focused test found its edge hold mediocre outside of powder, positioning it as a deep-snow specialist first.
