For 25 years, the CAPiTA Black Snowboard of Death has defined modern freeride—pushing boundaries from groomers to steeps and every stash in between. The 2026 model carries that legacy forward with a powerful Alpine V1 camber profile, directional shape, and an advanced core and laminate package built for high-speed confidence and technical control. With CarbonFlax™ Amplifiers and Carbon Fleece reinforcement boosting power underfoot, it delivers precise response while staying stable and composed through varied terrain. Whether you're charging chutes, blasting through chop, or railing carves top to bottom, the BSOD rides like a seasoned weapon for experienced riders.
Only the 159 comes in the red Kevin Jones signature colorway.
Who is this board best for? Advanced to expert riders who want an aggressive, directional freeride board with serious power, edge hold, and high-speed performance.
