25/26 season reviewDifferent season, same model
https://thegoodride.com/snowboard-reviews/capita-spring-break-powder-glider-snowboard-review/A specialised board that comes close to powder-only. It floats so easily it has been called cheater float, it is light, and it is strong in tight trees and low-angle powder. On tracked-out or groomed snow, though, it is hard work.
Base shape (camber)
Flat
A flat-to-rocker construction, with recent models adding mellow camber between the feet. An aggressively tapered shape bets everything on float.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
6/10
A medium flex at 6 out of 10. It bends easily with good snapback energy.

Who it suits
—New
✓Intermediate
✓Advanced
For intermediate to expert riders. Its character is close to powder-specific, so you need to understand its purpose before riding it.
Good
- ✓Astonishing float in very deep snow
- ✓Very easy to turn for its width
- ✓The powder-specific tuned base is fast and holds wax well
- ✓Light with pop despite the aggressive shape
- ✓A surfy sensation of planing across the snow
Not so good
- —It deflects and bounces on thick, irregular snow
- —Poor performance on groomers
- —Low versatility on non-powder days
- —Not suited to carving on edge
