Snowboard Capita The Black Snowboard of Death - 2026/27
- Price includes snowboard alone.
- FLEX: 6.5/10
- The graphic on the board depends on its size. Unfortunately, there is no option to choose the graphic when purchasing – the design is assigned based on the board's size.
CAPITA snowboards feature a unique design. Therefore, we would like to point out that the graphic on the snowboard depends on its size. This means that different snowboard lengths may feature different graphic designs, tailored to the specific model and size. Unfortunately, it is not possible to choose the graphic when purchasing – the snowboard graphic is assigned to its size, and each one has been designed to perfectly match the board’s proportions.
The original, legendary CAPiTA freeride series for advanced all-mountain technicians.
The Black Snowboard Of Death has achieved legendary status as a versatile mountain destroyer, boasting an impressive collection of awards. Over the past 25 years, it has continuously evolved and been refined in an endless pursuit of perfection. The only constant throughout those changes has been its iconic name.
Thanks to its precisely balanced directional shape and advanced, powerful construction, this purpose-built missile delivers exceptional control, allowing riders to push their skills further and ride confidently across varied terrain and changing snow conditions.
The Black Snowboard Of Death is powered by the ultra-light THERMOPOLYMER HOVER CORE™, which, combined with the new FAIRMAT™ AMPLIFIER carbon reinforcement, accelerates energy transfer directly to the edges.
CAPiTA The Black Snowboard Of Death is slightly wider, allowing it to float exceptionally well in fresh snow, while the more pronounced DEATH GRIP™ sidecut—featuring a reverse sidecut section in the center of the board—provides immediate transition into quick, powerful turns.
The BSOD features the ultra-fast HYPERDRIVE™ ADV XT BASE sintered base, enhanced by the MOONSHOT OMNI-TUNE™ structure, which improves water dispersion and makes the board even faster.
RIDER TYPE: ALL MOUNTAIN / FREERIDE
RIDER LEVEL: Advanced / Expert
FLEX: 6.5/10
BOARD SHAPE: DIRECTIONAL 0.5" SETBACK
PROFILE: ALPINE V1 HYBRID PROFILE
The ALPINE V1 Profile features camber between the bindings, a flat tail, and reverse camber in the nose. This construction delivers plenty of pop and stability on hard snow while increasing float and landing performance, expanding the rider's capabilities in deep powder. The camber extends farther into the tail, providing additional power during ascents or for larger riders looking for a wider snowboard.
CORE: Thermopolymer Hover Core™
An exceptionally lightweight and versatile core with outstanding impact resistance and maximum pop. This hybrid core combines ultra-light paulownia wood with highly responsive poplar. SUPER CARBON and recycled material inserts have been added to the wooden core. The combination of these materials provides excellent energy transfer to the edges, outstanding vibration damping, and incredible pop.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES:
NEW! 2 x 20mm FAIRMAT™ AMPLIFIER – Two 20 mm strips of recycled FAIRMAT™ carbon fiber, sourced in part from the aerospace industry. Running from the front inserts to the end of the nose, they provide stiffness comparable to a traditional 30 mm carbon insert while using less material. The result is a stiffer, more stable nose that floats better in deep snow, improving powder performance.
INLAID ALLOY NOSE + TAIL SKID PLATE
Additional reinforcement of the board's tips using ultra-light alloy to further reduce overall weight.
FIBERGLASS: HOLYSHEET™ TRI/TRI FIBERGLASS
Triple-weave fiberglass on both sides of the core provides improved vibration absorption and more efficient energy transfer to the edges.
RESIN: MAGIC BEAN™ RESIN
CAPiTA uses environmentally friendly resin in all of its snowboards, produced without waste or greenhouse gas emissions. It also delivers high performance while requiring less heat, meaning lower energy consumption during snowboard production. Thanks to this resin, the core can be lighter while maintaining the same riding characteristics. That is why CAPiTA snowboards are among the lightest on the market!
SINTERED BASE: HYPERDRIVE™ ADV XT BASE™
A unique formula developed exclusively for CAPITA's The Mothership factory that cannot be found anywhere else. CAPiTA engineers worked tirelessly with the world's leading supplier of polyethylene base materials to create this exceptionally fast material thanks to its ultra-high molecular weight and proprietary production additives. This patented sintered base is incredibly fast and, this year, has been made even thicker for increased durability. CAPiTA riders charge hard, which is why we use the most advanced and fastest base available on the market.
BASE STRUCTURE: MOONSHOT OMNI-TUNE™
MOONSHOT OMNI-TUNE™ is an additional high-performance base structure that is ready to ride straight out of the wrapper. It channels water away from the base at a 45-degree angle, making your snowboard the Formula 1 of snowboards.
EDGES – 360 Degree HRC48 Steel Edges
SIDECUT: NEW AGE PROGRESSIVE DEATH GRIP™ – An advanced sidecut that combines the characteristics of a progressive sidecut with Death Grip™ technology. The progressive sidecut consists of two or more radii, allowing easier turn initiation, greater control, and maximum power when exiting turns. Death Grip™ adds a reverse sidecut section in the middle of the board, increasing the contact point for improved edge hold and more precise pressure application. The combination of these two technologies in the NEW AGE PROGRESSIVE sidecut makes the snowboard exceptionally versatile, offering easy turn initiation, excellent control throughout the entire turn, and maximum power out of the turn, while providing an additional contact point and increased control through Death Grip™ technology.
SIDEWALLS – Full ABS100 Sidewalls
INSERTS – Stainless Steel 4 x 2 Inserts
MADE IN AUSTRIA! – CAPiTA manufactures its snowboards and develops new technologies in its own factory, which is uncommon in the snowboard industry. This gives the brand access to the best technologies for producing its own snowboards. CAPiTA MFG – The Mothership is an example of how modern manufacturing should operate. ZERO CO2 emissions, 100% of the energy comes from renewable sources, and 98% of the materials used in snowboard production come from nearby regions, helping to reduce transportation-related pollution. The factory even has its own slope for testing new innovations!
AWARDS: Throughout more than 20 years of existence, The Black Snowboard Of Death has received numerous awards for the best snowboard in its category, including GOOD WOOD from Transworld Magazine and BEST OF TEST from Snowboarder Magazine.
