Capita Space Metal Fantasy Snowboard 26/27

The CAPiTA Space Metal Fantasy is CAPiTA's women's freestyle true twin, 22.8 cm at the waist on the 139 out to 24.5 cm on the 153, and at $449.95 it is the most affordable women's board CAPiTA builds. The draw is its reverse-camber Park V2 shape: flat under the feet, with Flat Kick tips that lift the ends and keep the edges from hooking, which is what a rider still learning wants most. CAPiTA files it as a board a beginner or intermediate can progress on quickly.

The rest of the build reads the same way. A soft Twin 4 flex on CAPiTA's own scale of 1 to 10 flexes and presses with little effort; a Dual Core of beech and poplar keeps it poppy without being demanding; and 626 g/m2 biaxial Special Blend Fiberglass keeps the flex playful rather than stiff. The Superdrive base is sintruded - CAPiTA's durable, low-maintenance middle tier, not a top-end sintered race base. The sidecut is a single Radial arc, one predictable radius per length.

Buy it to learn on, to jib and press, and to play across the mountain. Skip it if you want a stiff high-speed carver or a directional powder board - a centered true twin gives up edge hold at speed for its forgiveness, and it is not built to sink a tail in deep snow. It is a women's-fit deck - the run tops out at the 153, and there is no Wide; larger or wider-booted riders want the Pathfinder, CAPiTA's identically built unisex twin at the same $449.95, which runs up to 162W. Decks ship bare - CAPiTA makes no bindings. Bring your boots and we will match a soft-to-medium setup to the board and mount it with you.
