Product Details

Rocker Type

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 Rating  6.5 (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
