Capita Super DOA Snowboard Review

The Capita Super DOA is one of the lightest boards going around, and you can really feel that lightness on snow.

One of the downsides of lightness in a board is often they can feel too chattery or unstable, but the Super DOA manages to elude those downsides. While it's not the dampest board going around or anything - it's not that kind of board, I found it damper than you'd expect it, given it's snap and lightness and it remains remarkably stable at speed.

In this review, I will take a look at the Super DOA as an all-mountain-freestyle snowboard.

As per tradition here at SnowboardingProfiles.com I will give the Super DOA a score out of 100 (based on several factors) and see how it compares with other all-mountain-freestyle snowboards.

Who is the Super DOA Most Suited To?

The Super DOA is best suited to more advanced riders who really like to get air, ride in at least a semi-aggressive fashion and want a board that can lay down a good carve and handle a good amount of speed, for when they're lining up big features, keeping up with their buds or just want to carve up the groomers or bomb, before/after the park and in between side-hits, etc. 

Could be a one-board-quiver for those who don't ride powder that's deeper than a few inches. For those who do, this would make a really good daily driver for he right right rider, paired with a powder/freeride board and/or a softer, more playful freestyle oriented board. 

TEST/REVIEW DetailS FOR THE Super DOA

O.k. let’s take a more detailed look at what the Super DOA is capable of.

Demo Info

Board: CAPiTA Super DOA 2026, 156cm (252mm waist width)

Date: March 17, 2025

Carving

I really enjoyed carves on the Super DOA, as I have every time I've ridden this board. Fun for all types of carves and while it does have a speed limit, I found it held on well to carves even at decently fast speeds. 

Turning

Ease of Turning/Slashing: It's not super easy to initiate turns on or slash out the tail. It feels better locking into an edge. But it's not too bad either. I find it a little better in this respect now versus when the Super DOA first came out. 

Maneuverability at slow speeds: While I didn't find it effortless or anything or lightning quick edge-to-edge at slow speeds, it was pretty decent. I had to put a bit of oomph into it to get it quickly whipping edge-to-edge but when I did it was pretty agile - and that bit of effort wasn't a whole lot or anything.  

Catchiness: It's not without catch. There's definitely some catch-risk there. Certainly not ultra catchy and won't punish you for the slightest error, but you can't get away with too much. 

Speed

Was nice and stable at speed and overall a pretty fast board. It had its speed limit for sure, and you wouldn't expect it to be right up there with the most stable at speed boards, with this flex level. 

Uneven Terrain

Crud/Chunder: It wasn't super easy for it to get bucked around in rough snow, but it certainly wasn't un-moveable either. And while it's certainly not a super chattery board overall, it's not uber damp either, so you do feel some chatter when things get choppy. 

Trees/Bumps: Fairly agile, when you give it the energy it needs, so was decent enough. Wouldn't be great in powdery trees though.

Powder

There were a few pockets of leftover fresh snow around, but mostly tracked, but it was enough to get some feel for how the board would go in deeper powder. Based on feel in what we had and specs, the Super DOA isn't going to be great.

Even in the shallower stuff, it felt like it wanted to drop that nose into the snow and being a true-twin centered board with only very minimal rocker sections before the tip/tail, I can't see it being easy keeping its nose up in deeper powder. 

Jumps

This is the Super DOA's best quality, IMO.

Pop: Fairly easy to access pop and really nice total pop. I think the lightness of the board really helps here as well - you get full value for your pop efforts. It's one of those boards when you first try to pop it off a lip, side-hit or roller or whatever your first little pop is and you get a bit surprised with how much air you get. 

Approach: A really good mixture of maneuverability and stability. Best of both worlds here. You do have to work for that maneuverability a little bit and speed checks aren't catch-free, so you have to be a little careful there, but all-round, just really good on approach for any sized jump. 

Landing:  Stomper! This thing stomps landings with the best of them, in my experience. And it's not too unforgiving when you get it wrong either. There's some leeway there, so you can ride it out, even when you haven't landed perfectly. 

Switch

Unsurprisingly, it felt good riding switch, given it's shape and stance. Transitions were fine too - not without catch-risk, but so long as you don't get it too wrong, it's fine. 

Spins

The only real downside to spins on this board is that bit of catch-risk when setting up to boost and on landing if you under or over rotate.

Otherwise, it's really good. Super light and super easy to rotate and great pop to get you that extra bit of height to ensure you get your rotations around. While it's not the easiest (though not the hardest either, for sure) to complete an under-rotation after landing or when reverting, it doesn't over-spin after landing at all, so you know if you time that full rotation just right, you're going to be riding out straight and smooth. 

Jibbing

While this board is better for jibbing than past editions, in my experience, it still wouldn't be my go to to hit the jib line in the park (particularly for how good it is on jumps - just to miss the opportunity to hit jumps on this thing almost feels wrong!). Now, I'm not the strongest jibber, so I prefer riding a really catch-free, super easy to maneuver board on jibs. In saying all of that, you should be fine with it, if you're a confident, experienced jibber - it just might not be one that you'd be using to learn new jib tricks on. 

Butters

There's a bit of stiffness to the tip/tail, but certainly not super stiff or anything, so you do have to lean some weight into the ends to get it to press, but it's not an excessive amount of effort required. Locks in well when you can get it to that lock in point. 

Rotations aren't without catch-risk, so you need to focus to get that right, but not ultra-catchy or anything, as mentioned above. 

Score Breakdown and Final Verdict

Check out the breakdown of the score in the table below.

It's hard to find a board this light, but that also maintains a certain level of dampness and stability. But the Super DOA manages it.

No, it's not the dampest board you'll ever ride. And no, it's not the most stable in rough snow you'll ever ride - but for how light it is and the advantages you get from that, it does manage a surprising amount of dampness/stability. 

And with how much you can boost this board, your knees and back are going to thank you for that extra bit of dampness, because this thing sure does feel like a rocket under your feet when you get it loaded up.
