Construction and Materials

We love long-time CAPiTA collaborator Jari Salo’s artwork on the Navigator, but it’s what’s underneath that really gets us going. In addition to the Carbon Fibre Beams found in the nose, CAPiTA have added strips of cork running parallel from the contact point allowing you to smash through chop and slop whilst still keeping it damp towards the front foot.

The dual wood core is sandwiched between biax fibreglass for a more playful torsional feel, going hand in hand with the mellow overall flex and giving you the ability to really manipulate the Navigator underfoot.

It’s not the highest spec in the CAPiTA line by any stretch of the imagination, but it doesn’t have to be. The money you save here could either go towards a more freestyle specific board to round out your quiver or chasing the storm so you can make the most of the Navigator for as many days as possible.

Roundup

As much as we wish it was, for most of us, not every day is a powder day, and while the Navigator certainly excels when you’re sniffing out freshies it’s still a great board for resort riding. It’s a great companion for hurtling through tree runs, laying down carves on piste and generally having a good time snowboarding.
