25/26 season review
A freestyle all-rounder deck with excellent pop and energy from a camber-dominant hybrid profile and carbon/aramid reinforced construction. It handles everything from big park jumps to jibs, butters and techy tricks, and delivers stable performance cruising the resort and hitting side hits.
It comes strongly recommended to intermediate and above riders with park experience rather than beginners, and it's a highly polished freestyle deck worthy of Capita's bestseller title.
A closer look
These descriptions and scores are linked to this review. They may differ from manufacturer specifications.
Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Hybrid camber
A Capita Resort V1 profile: positive camber is maintained through the board's body between the insert packs, transitioning through flat into slight reverse camber (rocker) toward the tip and tail — a camber-dominant hybrid. It provides pop and energy close to traditional camber while the blend at the tips slightly improves predictability and forgiveness.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A mid-level flex by freestyle standards, providing stability with a balance that stays playful enough. Nose and tail presses and butter tricks are possible, though the camber profile and flex resist, so some force is required. Torsional flex also sits at a level that suits freestyle broadly.

Rider levels suggested in the review
Intermediate · Advanced
Not suited to beginners or park newcomers; it's a board for intermediate and above park riders building their skills. Stability that reaches into the high-performance range and versatile freestyle capability meet intermediate and advanced riders' needs.
What the review liked
- ✓Above-average pop and energy — carbon stringers plus aramid sidewalls maximise rebound
- ✓Balanced multi-purpose freestyle performance across park jumps (including large ones) and jib/press tricks
- ✓The Quantum Drive sintered base is excellent for durability and glide
- ✓The true twin shape is optimised for switch riding and both-direction freestyle
What the review found lacking
- —Too much for beginners and park newcomers to handle, so there's a barrier to entry
- —Pushed to the limit in an aggressive freeride/carving style, its edge limits show against a dedicated freeride board
- —Regular waxing is needed, adding maintenance burden
