15/16 season review
This review does not directly cover the 26/27 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
A steady seller called the benchmark of all-mountain freestyle. Its Resort V1 hybrid camber carries camber's pop alongside rocker's forgiveness, showing high polish on both jumps and groomer carving.
It's light and quick to respond, suiting riders who want to sweep the whole mountain fast while mixing in freestyle. Powder float and slashiness are weak, though, and it isn't recommended for beginners.

Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Hybrid camber
Capita's Resort V1 profile — a hybrid construction with positive camber through the insert zone, flat outside the inserts and mild rocker at the tip and tail contact points. It keeps the explosive pop and response that come from camber while the contact-point rocker softens turn initiation.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A medium flex (6/10). On snow it's stable but leans toward a locked-in feel. At 17.69g/cm it's light, so handling is agile and pop is easy to draw out on jumps.

Intermediate · Advanced
Unsuited to beginners, and lower intermediates will struggle too. A board you step up to once fundamentals are in place, and it's unforgiving of mistakes. Optimised for intermediates and above through experts.
