Capita Navigator

While it excels in deep snow thanks to its rockered nose, the Navigator is surprisingly versatile. The camber platform under your feet provides enough edge hold and stability to handle resort groomers and variable terrain with confidence.

A 5.5 flex rating puts this board right in the middle of the spectrum. It is stiff enough to offer stability at higher speeds and through choppy snow, but it remains playful enough that you won't feel like you're fighting the board during tighter turns.

Cork dampeners are integrated into the core to absorb high-frequency vibrations. This makes the ride feel smoother and less chattery when you are navigating icy patches or tracked-out backcountry snow, reducing leg fatigue over a long day.

Yes, to an extent. Because this board features a directional shape with a 20.32 mm setback, it is optimized for riding forward. While you can certainly ride switch in a pinch, it will feel different than a true twin board.

The Powder Drive base is designed for durability and speed in soft snow, but like any high-performance sintered base, it requires regular waxing to maintain its glide. Keep it waxed, and it will hold up well against the varied conditions of the backcountry.
