The Capita Mega Death 2027 Snowboard is a high-performance all-mountain / freeride model built for riders who prioritize speed, precision, and a lighter overall platform. Inspired by the legacy of the Black Snowboard of Death, this version is tuned as an ultra-premium directional board with a clear focus on powerful riding across steep terrain, open faces, fast groomers, and mixed snow conditions.
The board uses a directional shape with a 0.8" setback, giving it a naturally confident stance for freeride use. That layout supports improved float in deeper snow while maintaining strong drive and control when riding with speed. A directional 6.5 flex keeps the Mega Death responsive without pushing into an overly rigid feel, making it suitable for aggressive resort riding where edge hold, composure, and energy transfer matter.
Its Alpine V1 Directional + Flat Kick Tech profile combines mid-body camber with a flat tail and reverse cambered nose. In practice, this creates a stable, powerful platform on hardpack, with added lift in the nose for soft snow performance. The longer camber section through the tail adds extra support and drive, especially useful when exiting turns, holding speed through tracked terrain, or landing with authority.
Capita pairs that shape with a New Age Progressive Death Grip™ sidecut, positioning the Mega Death as a board built to stay composed when the terrain gets faster and more variable. Under the surface, the construction follows the same premium approach. The Thermopolymer Starship Core™ is wrapped in Pure Megacarbon™ with Marine Grade Epoxy Resin, keeping the build focused on low weight, power, and direct response. Underfoot, the MEGADRIVE™ XT Base is finished with a Moonshot Omni-Tune™ stone grind for fast glide across a wide range of conditions.
This is not a soft, playful board aimed at low-speed riding. The Mega Death is designed for riders who want a directional platform that feels quick edge-to-edge, stable when pointed downhill, and efficient in both groomed and off-piste terrain. For advanced riders looking for a lightweight freeride board with technical construction and a strong, composed ride character, it sits at the sharp end of Capita’s line.

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.
