Meet the Capita Pathfinder
The Capita Pathfinder is an essential snowboard for your resort-adventures. This board combines playfulness, maneuverability and ease of use with the potential for great performance. Available in both a low-rise camber for powerful carves and ollies, and a reverse camber option for a looser, skate-like feel, there is a choice for any rider looking for a board with an impressive track record at a modest price. The Pathfinder has proven itself as one of the best buys on the market, with its signature truncated shape, shorter tip and tail for reduced swing weight and proven, lightweight and durable construction.
The Pathfinder Camber option offers increased ollie-power and edge retention for carving at high speeds, thanks to an extended camber profile. These boards excel on jumps, jibs and transitions and are a valuable choice for your next freestyle and park oriented resort-board.
The Pathfinder's PARK V1 + FLAT KICK TECH camber profile stands out by eliminating the traditional camber section 4 cm before the end of the sidecut. The small zero-camber sections offer a controlled ride while maintaining the response and power of a cambered board.
In short, the Capita Pathfinder embodies the perfect combination of performance, versatility and affordability. Whether you want to dominate the park, make technical descents or just have fun on the slopes, the Pathfinder is ready to guide you. With its sophisticated design and advanced construction, this board is an essential companion for any rider looking for a snowboard that is both exciting and reliable. The Pathfinder is not just another board; it is an investment in your snowboarding experience and a guarantee of adventures on the mountain you won't soon forget.

Technical SPecifications
CAPiTA snowboards are handmade in Austria with self-generated clean energy at The MotherShip™.
The SUPERDRIVE™ base material belongs to the category of sintered plates that offer the advantages of both sintered and extruded substrates. These bases have the properties and manufacturing techniques of extruded base material, but the higher pressure and temperature increases surface hardness to levels close to most sintered bases. This increases the durability and strength of the surface, creating a base that is more durable during jibbing and tearing on the mountain, while the board requires little maintenance and has a worry-free lifespan

The CAPiTA MotherShip™ is the world's newest, most technologically advanced snowboard production facility - a marvel of clean energy production. We generate energy for the CAPiTA production processes through an on-site hydro-active NH3 thermal energy system, combined with our recently expanded solar panels.
SPECIAL BLEND is an environmentally friendly we lay-up process that uses our MAGIC BEAN™ resin component that uses less energy and yields higher technical properties. This bonding process improves the working environment in the plant because it does not contain the same aggressive chemical properties used in resins in other plants around the world.
The PARK V1 camber configuration zeroes out traditional camber 4 cm before the end of the sidecut. The small zero camber sections allow for a more controlled ride while maintaining the response and power of a cambered board.
