All about the Capita Defenders Of Awesome
The Defenders Of Awesome wins a Transworld Good Wood Award year after year. It may come as no surprise that the D.O.A. is one of the best all-mountain freestyle snowboard available on the market.
With high-quality components such as a HyperDrive™ ADV base, Amplitex V-TECH amplifiers and a lightweight and extremely durable Panda Hover Core™, the Aeronaut has the power to tear through the terrain at high speeds and blast off all the tempting features.
A semi-Old Skool, respectful nod to the 90s; a directional, cambered snowboard that can meet the most demanding all-mountain activities your resort has to offer.
The Capita Defenders Of Awesome collection has an impressive reputation and these snowboards live up to it. They have won the most coveted design award in the snowboard sector for seven consecutive years. This particular model has become our most popular snowboard and is among the most sought-after boards worldwide. The D.O.A. stands out with an innovative hybrid camber design that combines the pop and responsiveness of a camber board with the predictability of a reverse camber. Additionally, this model is now available in a wide selection of wide sizes.
The P2 Superlight Core™ is a technological marvel that significantly reduces weight without compromising impact resistance and maximum pop. Combined with additional construction methods such as the Fortress™ Aramid Bound Sidewalls and an ultra-fast Quantum Drive™ base, the D.O.A. line offers more value for your money than you might expect. This confirms the D.O.A. series' position as the ultimate freestyle board that can take on any challenge, anywhere.
Resort V1 profileWhen it comes to camber, our RESORT V1 profile boards make optimal use of the advantages of traditional camber, zero camber, and reverse camber. This advanced, modern design allows you to experience the pop and responsiveness of a cambered board while also relying on the predictability and easy turn initiation of zero camber or reverse camber shapes.
In short, with the Capita Defenders Of Awesome series you invest in more than just a snowboard; you invest in a legend. This board has proven its worth at the highest level and exceeds expectations time and again. Whether you are an experienced professional or a newcomer to the snowboard world, the D.O.A. is there to support you in reaching new heights.

Technical Specifications
Capita snowboards are handmade in Austria with self-generated clean energy in The MotherShip™.
The QUANTUM DRIVE™ base base is composed of a progressive blend of compressed ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. As an evolution of the already lightning-fast ULTRADRIVE™, this base base has a higher density for durability and absorbs more wax to hold it longer and ride faster
Extremely light and versatile core combined with high impact resistance and maximum pop.
Carbon fiber is known for its stiffness, high tensile strength, low weight, tolerance for high temperatures, and low thermal expansion. It is one of the most popular materials used today in high-performance applications.
SPECIAL BLEND is an environmentally friendly wet lay-up process that uses our MAGIC BEAN™ resin component, which consumes less energy and delivers superior technical properties. This bonding process improves the factory working environment because it does not contain the same aggressive chemical properties found in resins used in other factories around the world.
RESORT V1 Profile boards make optimal use of the advantages of traditional camber, zero camber, and reverse camber. With this next-generation design you get the pop and response of a board with camber, but also the predictability and easy turn initiation of zero camber or reverse camber shapes.
A snowboard in which the shape and dimensions are completely symmetrical, both in length and width
