Zoid 158 regular, 158 goofy This year we pushed asymmetry to new levels of

complication and sophistication in search of the

ultimate easy ride. The ergonomically efficient,

“ZOID” with directional asymmetry takes you

forward and backward into the future. The

unique asymmetric trapezoidal geometric

contact, footprint and refined galactic shape

looks unreal! It somehow taps you right back

into the pure joy of riding that the first swallow

tail did. Zoids are Unreal!

Swallowtail Carver 157 Credited by Transworld as the first board

marketed with deep carving sidecuts, Gnu’s

original finless, directional, swallow tail design

has been brought back to life with modern XC2

contours and construction. Our early ski and surf

influenced wide nose, long contact, deep sidecut

hardpack shapes were radically different than

the surf influenced powder only snowboards of

the time. Today this 30 year old Gnu shape that

was met with skepticism in the 80’s looks just

like a modern snowboard. Snowboarding is

unreal, get out there and ride. The future is

NOW.

Billy Goat 159, 162, 162 wide

With stability through apex intensity “ride at your own risk” lines, this board will power through chunder, with enough freestyle to mess around with the groms on the cat track. The Billy Goat is a skate influenced, big mountain daily driver for all terrain freeriding.

Cool Bean 4’7” (144) A shift in

volume and a shift in mindset, the Cool Bean is the most fun we’ve had on a board in a long time. It’s proportions make you forget what you know about how a board should ride. Its width translates to unlimited laydown room when carving groomers and surfy float and glide in the powder. This board looks weird and so will you when you can’t wipe the smile off your face once you try it.

Carve Air 149, 154 “Take a solid all

mountain ripping slopetool, but then chop and widen it for maximum air and laydown carves and you get this quick and nimble fun making machine. It’s most happy spinning, flipping, tweaking, slush bashing, powder partying, ice shaving, and ripping all things awesome. Oh and it has a radical shape that will always stoke!” – Tim Eddy

Black Snowboard of Death 159 The CAPiTA Black Snowboard Of Death is

what you need to take complete control of the days you spend on-hill this season. Its legendary status as an all-terrain slayer leans toward the mountain side of riding with a custom-designed rockered nose, a zero-hybrid tail, and positive camber through the mid-section. This allows for tons of pop, insane control, and flotation in powder – making you a better snowboarder in variable terrain and changing conditions. The 2015/16 model features a modified shape and increased torsional strength.

Supermacho 161 Can you

imagine what would happen if The Black Snowboard of Death and the NAS made a baby? It would be progressive and badass and basically born to rule the world. It would definitely be Macho. The SUPERMACHO integrates attributes of these two award winning series into our first ever dedicated wide series.

Defenders of Awesome 154, 156 The Defenders of Awesome series

has a big reputation and these boards back it up. And when we say they back it up, we mean they back to back to back it up. As winners of the most coveted design award in snowboarding four years in a row, this highly sought after series now has a Transworld Good Wood 4-peat. It’s one of the best in the game and has the accolades to prove it. The DOA features a next-generation hybrid camber design, which delivers the pop and response of a camber board with the predictability of reverse camber. This truly is the go anywhere, do anything freestyle deck. For 2015, we have added an all new DS Select RFC Sustainable Dual Core and Fortress™ Kevlar Bound Sidewalls for bomb-proof construction.

Indoor Survival 154 A CAPiTA

classic, the Indoor Survival is the go-to board in and out of the park for a wide range of riders. These boards carve hardpack with ease, and they’re pre-positioned for pressing boxes and rails in the park. Due to the elevated contact points and mild rocker, they also float in powder amazingly well. Specialized tip and tail shapes give these boards better swing weight while retaining the ability to power through varied terrain. Featuring all new 20mm Titanal Struts, these Transworld Good Wood Award winners are some of the most versatile and best-selling boards in CAPiTA’s history.

Spring Break Tree Hunter 161 With a soulful trip to the early days of

snowboarding, CAPiTA and Spring Break present a line of hand-crafted surfboards for the snow. Conceptualized by Corey Smith and designed by CAPiTA, these beauties embody the heart of Corey’s garage built, oversized, plywood decks – but have been executed using the technology available in the best factory in the world. In fact, a lot of mad scientist R&D

went into these bad boys at CAPiTA MFG to create an experience like no other. The thicker, more buoyant, ultra lightweight Surflite™ core combined with the new Surf Rocker profile and wide shouldered shapes, all work together to create zero-gravity float on top of the deepest pow. We cooked up a uniquely blended sidecut specifically designed for buttery smooth, soulful pow rips. This shape features a surf-inspired arch just past the inserts followed by a huge reverse blend zone and topped off with a ton of taper for ultimate floatation. Available in four unique shapes, the Spring Break will take you one step closer in the search for the perfect wave.

Slush Slasher 147, 151 Suns

out, guns out kids – it’s Piña Colada time! No snowboard in the history of snowboarding was designed to make party like these bad boys.

Birds of a Feather 146, 148

One of the most popular Women’s series in the industry, the do-anything, go-anywhere Birds of a Feather is here to change your riding forever. This hybrid-camber, all-terrain destroyer inspired Jess Kimura’s Pro Model designs, as well as won the Transworld Good Wood and Snow Board Mag Platinum Pick awards. Loaded with key upgrades for 2015, the Birds of a Feather series now features a DS Select reforestation-certified sustainable wood core and all-new Fortress™ Kevlar Bound Sidewalls for extra durability.

Space Metal Fantasy 145, 147 The award-winning Space Metal Fantasy is

regarded as one of the best women’s park boards on the market. This very forgiving reverse camber shape provides a fun experience for intermediate riders looking to expedite the learning curve and take their riding to the next level. For 2015, we made it even better. The SMF has been upgraded with a reforestation certified core and Bitter End Deflection Tuning in the tip and tail for impact resistance. This series is fun for carving around the slopes, playing on features in the park, and even floats surprisingly well in powder. The SMF experience is an awesome one – guaranteed to send you through space and time.

Pick Your Line 159, 160 wide

The 016 Pick Your Line has actually taken a while to develop. The release of UnderBite two years ago opened up a Pandora’s box of ideas, each one better suited for specific type of terrain or approaches. This eventually led to the PYL. The Tapered UnderBite is unlike any outline ever used on a snowboard. The board blends into turns effortlessly, has the directional drive and float you’d expect from a tapered board,

Page 12: Custom Twin 154 - Mt Bachelor · way, these decks have the progressive sidecut inspired by the NAS and the Mountain FK camber theory from The Black Snowboard of Death. The net result

but it holds an edge and rockets out of turns like nothing else. To power this incredible chassis we dropped the Carbon PowerDrive core. Custom milled channels in the core are fitted with Bamboo rods wrapped in carbon, creating inner core tension that is perfectly matched to the sidecut of each length. The new Carbon PowerDrive core amplifies rider input into powerful rail-to-rail transitions and explosive turns.

Greats 152, 156 Just when you

thought this theme could not be milked any further, we blow you away with the graphical mind-melting of Mr. Peter-John de Villiers. Inside the world of these deeply layered illustrations you’ll be seduced by historical references of past glories, influences and milestones. The talents of Todd Richards, John Cardiel, Noah Salasnek and the infamous Shawn Palmer will never be forgotten and this year we give respectful thanks for the world they had a heavy hand in creating. This year we’ve reshaped and refined the Asymmetrical-twin that re-started it all. By redesigning the nose and tail and tweaking the sidecut geometry we’ve created an even better asym. The tighter heel sidecut than toe, balances out the inefficiencies of the way we naturally ride and creates a board that is both highly intuitive and rips going switch.

Typo 155, 159 wide The first year

of YES., the Typo was the Basic, so in a sense, they’re kind of brothers. And when we saw the need for an upgraded Basic, the name was already set. Taking the Goodwood winning shape of the UnderBite Twin, we set the stance back 5mm for a more all-mountain setup that’s ready for resort powder stashes. We also upgrade the base and gave it a little more robust flex pattern to suit a more aggressive rider on a larger playing field. UnderBite 101 – By stepping the outline in under the bindings (rather than out), it disrupts the surface area that has contact with the snow while the board is on edge. Without any extra rider effort, this disruption effectively increases edge pressure on the areas where you need it most, helping to initiate and hold your turn.The effect is stable edge control and a very confident, enhanced arc in your turn with no drag.

Basic 152, 156 wide For YES., The

Basic is what you might call our Jetta . It’s been with us since the start but has come so far in that time with no less than 3 design changes in 5 short years. Last year we unveiled the UnderBite outline and a perfectly matched flex pattern to solidify the Basic as the, “get on it and rip anything” kind of board. UnderBite 101 – By stepping the outline in under the bindings (rather than out), it disrupts the surface area that has contact with the snow while the board is on edge.

Hel YES 149 With a re-tooling of over

half our line this year, we had the opportunity to update this relatively new model. Continuing with the directional freeride theme critical to Helen’s approach it was important to maintain a board that she had fallen in love with from day one. Applying our groundbreaking UnderBite outline was a logical choice because it’s ability to extract more drive, more arc and more traction out of any given sidecut. To compliment the revised outline we upgraded to a Poplar and Bamboo core keeping things light and lively.

Emoticon 146 Playful, intuitive and

responsive, the Emoticon makes snowboarding more fun by making it easier to express your own style. A true twin shape and softer flex, the real jeenyus of this board is it’s unique UnderBite outline. Subtle but noticeable indents along the sidecut at the binding area re-distribute your body weight onto areas that help you turn. The effect is stable edge hold and a very confident, enhanced arc in your turn. No weirdness, just a board that rides as well as you know you can.
