Capita The Navigator

While The Navigator is purpose-built to excel in deep snow thanks to its rockered nose and tapered tail, it is surprisingly capable on groomed runs. The Resort V2 Directional profile provides enough stability and edge hold to handle resort riding when the powder stash runs out.

A 5.5/10 flex puts this board in the medium-versatile category. It is stiff enough to feel stable at higher speeds and responsive through turns, but soft enough that it doesn't feel punishing or overly demanding during a full day of riding.

Yes, the tapered shape is designed specifically to sink the tail for powder performance, which makes riding switch feel less natural than on a true twin board. While you can certainly ride switch in a pinch, this board is optimized for directional riding.

This core construction is aimed at riders who want a lively, energetic feel without adding unnecessary weight. The inclusion of ash wood adds durability and dampening, giving the board a snappy response that helps you pop off side hits and navigate tight trees.

The HyperDrive sintered base is high-performance and porous, meaning it absorbs wax very well. To keep it fast and prevent it from drying out, you should plan on waxing it more frequently than you would an extruded base, especially if you ride in warmer or abrasive snow conditions.
