Board Construction

Topsheet: Metallic Screen and Gloss/Matte Print

CAPiTA creates their incredibly detailed and vibrant topsheet designs using a combination of digital and hand screen printing methods. Their PAM16000 Printing technology utilises 16,000 individual inkjet nozzles to produce flawless digital graphics with solventless, water-based UV ink—delivering exceptional accuracy, quality, and speed. Additionally, every CAPiTA topsheet includes a portion that is silkscreened through a hand screen printing process, adding unique texture and depth to the final design.

Laminate: Special Blend Fiberglass with Magic Bean Resin

This construction incorporates an ideal blend of bi-axial fiberglass above and below the core, measured for optimal performance, and is laminated with structural additives to fine-tune ride characteristics creating an easy to ride board that offers high degrees of forgiveness.

The Magic Bean resin system, developed over three years, is plant-based with high bio-content, zero waste, and no greenhouse emissions. It requires low production temperatures while delivering high yield, strength, and durability. Its enhanced rigidity allows for a thinner wood core, reducing weight while increasing energy return for a lighter, more responsive board.

Core: Dual Core

CAPiTA's Dual Core is a lightweight, responsive Poplar core paired with Beech for enhanced power and durability.

Base: Superdrive Base - Screen Print

The Superdrive base combines the best of both sintered and extruded materials, offering a balance of durability, speed, and low maintenance.
