Paying respects to the all-female black metal band Sorceress, the CAPiTA Defenders of Awesome FK Snowboard is the perfect hybrid freestyle destroyer. Featuring original photographs of the band members on the boards, the Defenders of Awesome Snowboard provides top-of-the-line technology along with sick graphics. The Form 6-K Fiberglass Configuration allows for the easy turn initiation while the SS Select Core provides a board that is just at home in the park as it is at the peak of the mountain. Snowboarding all year long is the true essence of awesomeness. Take the CAPiTA Defenders of Awesome FK Snowboard for a ride and continue to defend the magic that is snowboarding.
Hybrid FK – CAPiTA's newest camber profile takes full advantage of the benefits of traditional camber, zero camber and reverse camber. This next generation design allows you to get all the pop and response from a cambered board while still having the predictability and easy ride from zero and reverse camber shapes.
Flex Rating (1 Soft - 10 Stiff) – 5, perfect for freestyle riding
Radial True Twin – A radial sidecut is a single radius design causing your board to start and finish a turn on the same arc.
SS Select Core – Engineered for "anytime, anywhere" performance reliability, the SS Select provides a perfect balance between energy, stability and pop. Vertically laminated poplar is lightweight and has a long grain orientation. There are no irregularities allowing for consistent uniform flex throughout the deck.
Form 6-K – This glass configuration consists of 612 gram/meters-squared biaxial fiberglass placed on both the base and topside of the core at 0˚ and 90˚ angles. This configuration results in a board that initiates turns easily, while retaining the pop necessary to handle variable conditions. The Form 6-K laminate system is laid up wet by hand during the lamination process. This also features carbon kevlar stringers to further increase ollie power and response.
HMC Extruded – A low maintenance, user-friendly base that preforms well with or without constant waxing and attention: the HMC is a special "high molecular concept" base that is denser, more durable, and more abrasion resistant than standard extruded bases. The result is a hard, fast and reliable base that will get you where you want to go fast.
