Capita Kazu Kokubo Pro

Not at all. While its directional shape and powder-focused nose excel in soft snow, the Resort V3 camber profile and 6.5 flex rating make it surprisingly capable on groomers. It is designed to handle the entire mountain, from side-country lines to resort runs.

With a 6.5 flex rating, this board sits in the sweet spot between playful and aggressive. It is stiff enough to hold an edge at high speeds and provide stability, but it retains enough snap and pop to remain maneuverable in tight, technical terrain.

The Bamboo Power Rods are integrated into the core to provide significant energy return and dampening without adding unnecessary weight. This construction gives the board a lively, responsive feel that helps absorb chatter when you are riding through variable or choppy snow.

Yes. The directional shape and carbon reinforcement provide a stable platform for takeoffs and landings. While it is built with freeriding in mind, it performs well on jumps and side hits if you prefer a directional feel in the air.

The HyperDrive ADV XT base is a high-performance material that is exceptionally fast, but it does require regular waxing to maintain that speed. Because it is a premium sintered base, keeping it hydrated with wax is essential to prevent it from drying out and losing its glide.

Because this is a directional board with a 20mm setback, it is optimized for riding forward. While you can certainly ride switch, the board's geometry is specifically tuned for directional performance, so it will feel different than a true twin board when riding backward.
