THE BLACK SNOWBOARD OF DEATH
The Black Snowboard of Death has achieved legendary status as an all-terrain slayer, boasting an impressive collection of accolades. Over the last 25 years, it has undergone constant evolution and modification in the relentless pursuit of perfection. The one constant amidst these changes has been its iconic name. Featuring a finely balanced directional shape and high-powered construction, this custom-designed rocketship offers exceptional control, enabling riders to elevate their skills and navigate varying terrain and changing conditions with confidence.
This iconic CAPiTA series is packed with technology—integrating a Thermopolymer Hover Core™ with Carbon Fleece Power Shields™ and Carbonflax™ Amplifiers for a high-powered construction which allows for incredible control.
camber Alpine V1 Directional + Flat Kick Tech
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.
Construction
1
TOPSHEET TECH:
PLT Technology
PLT™ technology is exclusive to CAPiTA MFG and magically bonds the topsheet to an already pressed snowboard.
2
GLASS + RESIN:
HOLYSHEET™ TRI/TRI + MAGIC BEAN™ RESIN
HOLYSHEET™ Fiberglass configuration features fiber weaves with a high tensile strength and low modulus of elasticity. With a higher roving count in the same weight of glass, you can have a stronger and more responsive board without adding extra weight.

ADDITIVES:
CARBON FLEECE POWER SHIELD™
With two Carbon Fleece power pads underfoot, maximum thrusting power is achieved for ollies and stability under varied-terrain while torsional forgiveness allows for ease of command while in battle.
4
CORE:
THERMOPOLYMER HOVER CORE™
Enhanced with bonded post-consumer recycled Thermopolymer channels into ultra-lightweight select grain wood core strips, the THERMOPOLYMER HOVER Core™ is extremely light and strong with excellent dampening properties.
5
ADDITIVES:
4 x 25 mm CARBONFLAX™ AMPLIFIER
CARBONFLAX™ is a next-generation natural flax fiber woven with carbon strands that is featured in our high-end snowboard constructions. This fusion tape brings the best of two worlds: the reactive energy of carbon and the lightweight and dampening aspects of flax. The two fibers are highly compatible since they have similar properties regarding thermal expansion and failure strain, creating a uniformly flexing reinforcement that's light, snappy and durable all in one.
6
BASE:
HYPERDRIVE™ ADV XT BASE
Custom formulated and exclusive to The MotherShip, our engineers have worked tirelessly with the world's leading polyethylene running base supplier to create HYPERDRIVE™. With exceptional anti-friction properties due to high molecular mass and specialized processing aids, this sintered material has a proprietary composition and is beyond fast. Our loyal fans charge hard, and we have integrated the fastest, meanest base available. We have increased the thickness of our XT bases for enhanced durability.
