In the past 11 years of building, designing and devouring snowboards, Capita has created a brand that sticks out from the masses. They’ve updated their technology over the years but also know a good thing when they have it and continue offer the models that work. Their team riders have made names for themselves, winning awards and video parts on Capita boards.
For 2012, Capita added a new board with the Totally Fkn’ Awesome which has freeride FK and Tj Scheider’s pro model the mid life zero becomes zero camber. They continue to build a mix of options from the traditional camber to the pow FK to freeride FK to zero camber to freestyle and urban FK. There are options for every rider in every price range.

February 16, 2011 at 8:05 amThey could be more original with model name NAS … copy from Lib Tech ski NAS = Narrow Ass Snowboard…. no revolution from Capita here at all 😉
Shay
February 16, 2011 at 9:25 amFrancis, that’s intentional. They are poking fun at Lib 🙂
David
February 16, 2011 at 11:59 amHey Shay no pics of ultrafear? Wondering what the base looks like, also wondering about any changes?
Alex
February 16, 2011 at 3:24 pmHey Shay, could you do a review on next years mid life? I’m really interesting in how the zero camber handles on jumps.
grant
February 16, 2011 at 7:33 pmhy would you please find a picture of the base of the new black snowboard of death.
also is it still cam-rock?
Shay
February 17, 2011 at 9:58 amDavid, ultrafear is a late release every year so it wasn’t at SIA and not in the catalog. Per tradition, it’ll be all the graphics together on one board.
Alex, I’ll try to ride the mid life for you!
Grant, It’s the white Capita skull similiar to this year’s BSOD. Also Capita isn’t cam-rock (that’s YES/Nidecker) but it is freeride FK just like this year’s BSOD.
Lem
February 26, 2011 at 1:40 pmIs this right, the Mid Life no longer has a sintered base?
lee
February 26, 2011 at 5:16 pmArent there more sizes in the Horrorscope? the biggest is a 151cm?
Shay
February 26, 2011 at 5:46 pmLem, that’s what the 2012 catalog says.
Lee, fixed that, the biggest size is 157. Just added the other sizes to it!
lee
March 3, 2011 at 10:58 amhey shay,

lee

April 15, 2011 at 2:17 pmUltrafear sizing for next year:

Torn between sizes…looking for a park board and an all mtn board.
@ 5″11 and 175lbs should I get
153 park / 157 all mtn
155 park / 159 all mtn
I’m used to shorter boards and like the playfulness, but nervous about going to short for jumps. would a 153 ultra suffice on jumps?
Daniel M
May 7, 2011 at 6:55 amReally wish the stairmaster was a mens park board….
Zac
May 7, 2011 at 10:27 amNas = Normal Ass Snowboard
hahahahahah
Shay
May 8, 2011 at 8:34 amThanks Johan!
Matthew, depends on you if you are comfortable riding a smaller board then you’d just have to adjust to jumping on it. It’ll be easier to maneuver and more playful. I think you’d be fine on a 153 for park but really up to you.
Daniel, it is a park board.
Zac, totally 🙂
bailey
May 22, 2011 at 8:59 pmwhy the hell wont they make a guys cambered board with a 3 eyed cat on it! i would get it in a heartbeat!
Pdx Hood
May 26, 2011 at 1:07 pmA new deck called The Mind Blower??? Anyone have any info about this??
hmm
June 25, 2011 at 1:20 pmi saw someone this season riding a next years capita board with neon B.S.O.D skull on the base with neon sidewalls… could it be the mind blowers graphics??
nevermind
June 25, 2011 at 1:23 pmoops sorry skimmed through
Shay
June 25, 2011 at 1:23 pmPDX, it’s gonna blow minds 🙂
Hmm, Was it this photo you saw?

That is the 11-12 Ultrafear with the neon skull on the base.
oo
June 26, 2011 at 1:24 pmyeah but with black base and neon skull. it was sick!!
Tyson dehnhoff
July 27, 2011 at 3:26 pmwhy so much demonic stuff on the boards?
Darko
July 30, 2011 at 12:12 pmIndoor Survival nails the coffin of Lib Banana. After riding a season on Indoor, my old Skate Banana is a wall ornament now. It gives better edge hold, carving and pop for less bucks. And looks much much better.
Frank
July 31, 2011 at 6:31 amDarko Indoor Survival better edge hold ?
Do you know that magna traction need maintenance too ? Less but still need to sharp a bit… and you will see that Banana BTX will hold back so much…
