2022 Capita Snowboards Overview

Last Updated: by

2022 Capita Snowboards

Below we are going to outline the 2022 Capita snowboards lineup.

To start with we are going to take a look at the new boards for the 2021-22 season, and any 2020-21 boards that won't be returning with a 2021 model. 

Then we'll look at each board and put them into the categories where I see them fitting best.  

2022 Capita Snowboards

New 2022 Capita Snowboards

The new boards for 2021-22 are: 

  • Capita Mega Merc - Like the name sounds - this is a beefed up Mercury - and it's really beefed up. The Mercury ain't no wilting flower as it is, but the Mega Merc is a real beast. 
  • Capita Pathfinder Rev - This is essentially the Horrorscope with a different name - replaces the Horrorscope 
  • Capita Pathfinder - Given it's similarity in name with the Pathfinder Rev, you'd expect it to be similar - and it is in a lot of ways, with 2 major differences. 1. it's got a predominantly camber profile (versus flat to Rocker on the Pathfinder Rev/old Horrorscope) and 2. it's a directional twin with a 1/2" setback (versus Pathfinder Rev, which is a centered true twin)
  • Capita Urgonnabok - New limited edition true twin park/street deck - looks so similar to the outgoing Horrorscope in the catalog, that it makes me wonder if they didn't put the right specs in! Or it's essentially a newly named Horrorscope with a couple of small differences. Though that would surprise me, given that the Pathfinder Rev is already pretty much identical to the old Horrorscope.
  • Capita Jess Kimura Mini - New youth board

Exiting 2021 Capita Snowboards 

The 2021 boards that won't be returning with a 2022 model: 

  • Capita Horrorscope - replaced almost exactly by the Pathfinder Rev (not to be mistaken with the Pathfinder)
  • Capita Supernova

Below, I have categorized Capita's 2021-22 snowboard lineup. This is according to the categories here at SnowboardingProfiles.com and are not necessarily the same as how Capita might label them.

Of course these are only broad categories as every board is different, but this is a rough guide.

Summary

So there you have the 2022 Capita snowboards. 

A few new boards, with the Mega Merc and Pathfinder (camber version) being the most notable additions. 

The most notable relegation was the Supernova. 

Some other changes to existing boards: 

  • DOA: Core changed a little plus new sizes 162 & 163W
  • SuperDOA: New 163W size
  • Mercury: New sizes 150, 156W, 158W & 160W
  • Outerspace Living: Now have a 0.5" (12.5mm) reference setback stance
  • Indoor Survival: New core, shape change, sidecut changed, small (1/2") setback added and some other things - basically a lot of changes, but same flex, camber profile, base and other things 
  • The Outsides: Slightly changed core, new base and new sizes 152W and 156W 
  • Scott Stevens Pro: Some changes to core and boosters
  • Ultrafear: Some changes to core and boosters plus changed camber profile - now a hybrid camber (Capita's "Resort V1 Profile") where it was flat-to-rocker (Capita's "Park V2 Profile") in the past. 
  • BSOD: Slightly tweaked core
  • Navigator: New inlaid cork dampeners
  • Birds of a Feather: Core changed a little plus new sizes 148W, 150W and 152W - pretty cool/unique to see a women's board get wide sizes
  • Paradise: New size 139 - plus now setback 0.5" (12.5mm)
  • Space Metal Fantasy: New size 139
  • With in the Ultralight Powder Displacement Snowcraft series, the Powder Pill 158 is new and the Tree Hunter 161 is gone. 

I was privileged to be able to test a good number of 2022 Capita boards and I'll release my reviews for those through the year.
