The Capita Mega Death 2024 is a high-end freeride snowboard built for riders who want a fast, precise and unusually light platform for aggressive all-mountain use. Inspired by the legacy of the Black Snowboard of Death, this model pushes further into lightweight construction and high response, while keeping a versatile freeride focus. The result is a board designed to handle groomers, steep terrain and powder with a powerful, directional feel.
At the center of the Mega Death is Capita’s Alpine V1 profile, a directional shape with 0.8\" setback. This profile combines mid-body camber with a flat tail and reverse camber in the nose. On snow, that translates into strong edge hold, stability on firmer surfaces and added lift in deeper conditions. The longer camber zone through the tail also supports stronger drive out of turns and added control when riding with speed.
With a directional 6.5 flex, the Mega Death sits in a responsive category that suits committed freeride riding without becoming overly limited to one type of terrain. It is built to be ridden with intent, whether that means carving hardpack, opening it up in variable snow or taking a more technical line where low weight and quick reaction matter.
Construction is a major part of this board’s identity. The FSC® Certified Thermopolymer Starship Core™ uses weight and grain-selected poplar combined with bonded post-consumer recycled thermopolymer channels, creating a hybrid core focused on low weight and energy. Capita pairs this with both +/-45 PURE MEGACARBON™ and 0/90 PURE MEGACARBON™ layers, increasing rigidity, response and power transfer while keeping the overall construction exceptionally light.
Underneath, the Megadrive™ base is tuned for speed. Capita describes it as a race-inspired base made from UHMW polyethylene with high carbon content and special fluoro additives, developed for fast glide across a wide range of conditions. It is finished with a Moonshot Omni-Tune™, a high-performance base structure designed to improve water displacement and maintain pace.
For riders looking for a directional freeride board with premium construction, very low weight and a notably direct ride character, the Mega Death stands at the sharper end of Capita’s line.

Shape:
CAMBERALPINE V1 (directional 0.8 setback)

The ALPINE V1 Profile design features mid-body camber with a flat tail and a reverse cambered nose. This allows for tons of pop and stability on hard pack while increasing float and landing power, improving the rider’s performance in deep snow. The camber runs longer in the tail, providing extra power for the ascent or for larger riders drawn to a dedicated wide series.

Yes, it is ideal for natural jumps on the slopes and in the backcountry and occasionally in the fun park.
You should wax your snowboard when the base looks dry or white, or after every 3–5 days on the snow for the best performance. Fresh wax keeps your board fast and protects it from damage.
