The Capita Stairmaster is a park board loaded with the features you need to pop yourself up onto the highest street rails and the press-ability to get your tail way up there on those nosepresses.
The Stairmaster is a true-twin camber to help you leave the park rookies spending their chair rides wondering if you’re regular or goofy. The guys at Capita have given it a flex rating of four — making it one of their softer boards. However, the Wood Derived Technology Engineered Jib Core still gives it plenty of hop for the length of your time on this stick. Go ahead and slap it around on some rails all you want, because it also features Capita’s ABS Bomb Proof sidewalls.
This year’s model features graphics by the ever-artsy Northwesterner Corey Smith, and the logos on the nose and tail make a great background for your own personal sticker job. It’s designed to be a little wider, a little shorter, and have a lot lower sticker price than your average board.

his is the Capita Stairmaster. This board has been around for a long time and there’s a reason. This board kicks ass, not going to lie. This Capita snowboard is cambered, but it’s still a jib board. The true twin shape, nose and tail the exact same as you see on the graphics, which was designed by Cory Smith. You guys know who he is, right? You should. Check out his art its pretty rad. The Capita Stairmaster core is very unique it’s called a wood-derived technology core which means it’s actually not like normal laminate wood that would run tip to tail. It’s actually pressure condensed wood composite. So, that means the wood particles pretty much press together to make this thing nice and soft. You don’t have to flex it very hard to get over the nose or over the tail. The glass is pretty rad as well; it’s called a pre-cured 4-20 glass. So that means that there’s 370 grams of glass that run at zero degrees or from tip to tail on the board and 50 grams of glass that run at 90 degrees from edge to edge. So, it’s going to be a nice, soft, even flex for this thing. The flex pattern is about a four. As you see, yeah, that’s pretty soft. So, it doesn’t matter if you’re going to be riding powder or going to be riding rails, this thing is going to be fun, buttery, and a lot of soft. Transworld rated it Good Wood 2011. The Capita Stairmaster is here to stay!
