D.O.A. 2024

2024 Capita Defenders of Awesome Snowboard The Icon. One of the most famous snowboards of all time. The Defenders of Awesome series has a big reputation, and these boards back it up. As winners of the most coveted design award in snowboarding for an unprecedented seven years in a row, this model became Capita's #1 selling snowboard and one of the most sought-after snowboards in the world. The D.O.A. features a next-generation hybrid camber design that delivers the pop and response of a cambered board with the predictability of reverse camber and is now available in an extended range of larger sizes. New for 2023, Capita has further enhanced this iconic series with an all-new P2 Superlight Core(TM), which reduces weight compared to the previous model while providing high impact resistance and maximum pop. With additional construction technology like Fortress(TM) Kevlar Bound Sidewalls and a high-speed Quantum Drive(TM) base advancing these boards beyond their modest retail price, the D.O.A. series stands proud as the ultimate go anywhere, do anything freestyle deck. Camber Profile Resort V1 Profile - RESORT V1 Profile boards take full advantage of the benefits of traditional camber, zero camber, and reverse camber. This next generation design allows you to get the pop and response of a cambered board with all the predictability and easy turn initiation of zero camber or reverse camber shapes. Flex Twin Flex Flex Rating - 5.5/10 (1=Soft,10=Stiff) Shape Twin Shape Blended Radial Sidecut - 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 FSC Certified P2 Superlight Core(TM) - The P2 SUPERLIGHT CORE(TM) is an extremely lightweight core engineered to withstand high impact and deliver maximum pop. Comprised of an even mix of Poplar and Paulownia wood, the P2 is FSCA(R) Certified and ready to dominate in any environment. Laminates Carbon Fiber Boosters - Increases power and response while remaining ultralight. Magic Bean Resin - This advanced resin system has a bio-content of 60% renewable, agricultural raw material and is produced with no waste or greenhouse emissions. In production, it has a low-temperature requirement with a high yield output. Poppy, powerful, and extremely durable, MAGIC BEAN(TM) resin yields much stronger and more rigid qualities allowing a decrease in the wood core thickness. This means you get a lighter board while achieving higher energy return. Special Blend Fiberglass - This configuration uses an optimum blend of 626g/m2 Biaxial fiberglass laminated in conjunction with structural additives to customize performance objectives. Sidewalls Fortress(TM) Kevlar Bound Sidewalls - With seven Transworld Good Wood Awards in six years for the D.O.A. series, it&';s clear that the performance and value of these boards are unmatched. FORTRESS(TM) KEVLAR BOUND SIDEWALLS are bonded by a Kevlar "S" wrap from the top of the sidewall to the underside of the core. This lightweight technology binds the sidewall and core material together like no other. Full ABS1000 Sidewalls Base Quantum Drive(TM) Base - The QUANTUM DRIVE(TM) running base is formulated with a progressive blend of compressed ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene. As an evolution from the already blazing fast ULTRADRIVE(TM), 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. Edges 360 Degree HRC48 Steel Edges Topsheet PAM16000(TM) Topsheet with Metallic Underlay PLT(TM) Topsheet Technology - PLT(TM) technology is exclusive to CAPiTA MFG and magically bonds the topsheet to an already pressed snowboard. Graphics Multitech(TM) Level 5 DeepSpace(TM) Silkscreen - The DEEPSPACE(TM) Design Theory takes advantage of the thickness of a transparent topsheet. Strategically layering ink on multiple levels from the top and the bottom imbues graphics with a sense of life through depth.
