CAPITA Women's The Equalizer By Jess Kimura

Inspired by Jess Kimura's progression from the streets to the backcountry, The Equalizer was born to level the playing field on the mountain and offer riders a high-end all-mountain option designed specifically for women. The series now features an updated custom-designed hybrid camber profile, providing positive camber through the inserts for carving control, while reverse camber in the nose and tail maximizes float in powder. The Equalizer's ride and response comes from its META Core to achieve a desirable flex for all-mountain terrain, while Technora Flax Boosters provides longitudinal power. Featuring a Quantum Drive high-speed sintered base, The Equalizer is one of the most technically advanced women's freeride boards on the market.

Flex: 5.5/10

Shape: Directional 0.8” Setback - Directional Shape is designed to be ridden with a slightly longer nose than tail to concentrate pop in the tail while providing plenty of float, flow, and control to rip any terrain or condition. Directional Flex features increased pop in the tail and a more resilient nose that allows riders to easily maintain control through all terrain and conditions

Bend: Resort V2 Directional + Flat Kick- This revolutionary all-terrain shape provides the best of both worlds. It has a raised camber platform through the inserts to retain high-speed edge hold through variable terrain, elevated contact points to land and float in powder, and Flat Kick tip and tail arcs for faster, more aggressive transitions.

Sidecut: Blended Radial - BLENDED RADIAL sidecuts feature a single radius arc through the midsection of the board combined with a custom designed blend zone at the contact points. Varying the length of these blend zones and tailoring them specifically for certain aspects of riding greatly improves a board’s performance.

Core: Meta Core - We took our extremely lightweight P2 Superlight Core, added high bending and shock absorbing Beech stringers running through the inserts for increased strength and even snappier pop.

2 x 30mm Technora Flax Boosters - With an excellent tensile strength and fatigue resistance, TECHNORA is an aramid fiber that functions as a shock absorber and energy source when integrated into a snowboard construction layup. We have interwoven TECHNORA™ with an extremely lightweight and all-natural Flax fiber to invigorate every construction combination for maximum turning and ollie power.

Fibreglass: Holysheet Tri/Bi - The 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. Triaxial fiberglass on top of the core and Biaxial fiberglass beneath, creating a perfectly blended ride while increasing strength and durability.

Base: Quantam Drive - The QUANTUM DRIVE running base is formulated with a progressive blend of compressed ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene. As an evolution from the already blazing fast SUPERDRIVE, this running base features higher density for durability and absorbs more wax to wick longer and ride faster. Properly maintained sintered bases are fast, durable, and are the preferred choice of many high-end enthusiasts worldwide.

EXTRAS

PLT Technology Topsheet - PLT Topsheet Technology is exclusive to CAPiTA MFG and magically bonds the topsheet to an already pressed snowboard. This produces a featherlight, smooth, high-gloss finish, without using any solvents or toxic laquers in finishing.

Magic Bean Resin - Developed over a three-year span, this advanced resin system has a bio-content of 60% renewable, agricultural raw material. It is plant based that does not compete with primary food sources and is produced with no waste or greenhouse emissions. In production, it has a low-temperature requirement with a high yield output. This resin system is poppy, powerful, and extremely durable. MAGIC BEAN resin yields much stronger and more rigid qualities allowing us to decrease the wood core thickness. Our focus is to save wood core weight by increasing resin performance. This means you get a lighter board while achieving higher energy return
