Capita Defenders of Awesome

While the DOA is highly versatile, it is designed with a responsive, poppy core that rewards intermediate to advanced riders. Beginners might find the board's snappy nature and edge hold a bit demanding, though it remains manageable for those looking to progress quickly.

The Resort V1 profile features traditional camber underfoot with rocker zones at the contact points, which provides decent float for a twin board. However, because it is a true twin with a centered stance, it is optimized more for park and groomers than for deep backcountry powder days.

The DOA is a true all-mountain board. While its twin shape and lightweight core make it a favorite in the park, the carbon reinforcements and stable profile provide the edge hold and power needed to carve groomers and handle variable terrain across the entire mountain.

The carbon fiber boosters are integrated to increase the board's pop and response without adding significant weight. This makes the board feel more energetic when you are popping off jumps or initiating turns, giving you a lively, high-performance feel underfoot.

The true twin shape means the board is symmetrical, allowing for identical performance riding regular or switch. On groomed runs, this symmetry provides a predictable, balanced feel, though it lacks the directional taper found in dedicated freeride boards that helps with turn initiation in deep snow.
