Construction and Materials

As the old adage goes ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ and CAPiTA have taken that to heart with the Equalizer. We’ve loved riding this snowboard over the last few seasons, and it’s nice to see they haven’t changed it over the last year just for the sake of it.

Synthetic meets natural with the Equalizer’s Technora & Flax Boosters, running parallel from the contact points in the nose down to the tail they help to absorb chatter and stiffen the board for smashing through chop and chunder.

No prizes for guessing where the P2 Superlight Core gets its name… Yep, it’s really lightweight. The lively wood wore is sandwiched between biax and triax fibreglass to stiffen it up torsionally for a quicker and snappier response and finished off with CAPiTA’s Quantum Drive Base to keep you at the front of the pack.

“Despite its prowess in powder, there’s no taper to speak of so center your bindings on it and you can still take a switch lap or two”

Roundup

The Equalizer was designed to ‘level the playing field’ and offer a women’s snowboard that’s just as high-quality as the men’s. Take a leaf out of Jess’ book, don’t wait to be invited, create your own space in snowboarding.
