Capita Defenders Of Awesome Snowboard 2026

The iconic CAPiTA Defenders of Awesome Snowboard is the true twin freestyle powerhouse that’s taken home more awards than we can count, and for good reason. Built with a poppy P2 Superlight Core, carbon boosters, and featherweight construction, it’s ultra-light, ultra-durable, and ready to rip from warm-up laps to victory laps. Whether you're lapping the park or popping side hits all over the resort, the D.O.A. brings the stoke every time you strap in.

Flex: Flex Rating – 5.5 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)

Shape: True Twin

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: P2 Superlight Core – Paulownia + Poplar. Extremely lightweight and versatile core combined with high impact resistance and maximum pop.

Laminates: Hybrid Carbon Holysheet Bi/Bi + Magic Bean Resin – 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. Combine one of these three layups with the MAGIC BEAN™ resin and one of the many additives available, and you get an incredibly high performing board tailored to meet your style of riding.

Carbon Boosters: Increases power and response while remaining ultralight.

Base: Quantum Drive Base – 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.

Topsheet: PLT™ Topsheet Technology – PLT™ technology is exclusive to CAPiTA MFG and magically bonds the topsheet to an already pressed snowboard.
