CAPiTA The Equalizer By Jess Kimura 2024 Snowboard
THE HIGH-END FREERIDE/ALL-MOUNTAIN BOARD BY JESS KIMURA
The Capita Equalizer is one of the most technically advanced women's boards on the market. Inspired by Jess Kimura's riding, the Equalizer is engineered for maximum performance, making it a premium freeride/all-mountain option designed specifically for women. The board comes with a specially designed hybrid camber profile for incredible control in variable terrain and snow conditions.
The Equalizer is made in Austria by hand in the first snowboard production facility powered by 100 % clean energy.
Riding style
All-mountain/freeride for advanced riders - this board is perfect for experienced riders looking for a reactive board for piste and backcountry. This snowboard gives you the safety and performance for expert level snowboarding in any terrain.
Shape
With the Tapered Directional shape, the nose is slightly longer than the tail. The bindings are slightly offset to the back (setback). This increases the stability at higher speeds and the uplift in powder.
Profile
The Resort V2 profile consists of a camber between the bindings, a rocker area just before the nose and tail and Flat Kick technology for more manoeuvrability. This keeps the board extremely manoeuvrable in the pow and gives it enormous uplift. The camber offers you good edge hold and fast power transmission.
Flex
The medium-stiff flex ensures precise control and fast board response.
Construction
The new Meta Core™ is made of paulownia, poplar and highly flexible birch wood. This combination offers shock-absorbing properties and an incredible amount of pop. For more power, response and shock absorption, the Technora™ and Flax Boosters along the core. Harder, stronger, faster, the sintered Quantum Drive™ base creates a unique balance of speed and stability.

Snowboards are usually delivered ready-to-ride with a waxed base and sharpened edges. However, this so-called factory-tuning is not very durable and your new snowboard should be properly waxed after a few days and maintained on a regular basis.
