2012 Capita Indoor Survival

This is the Capita Indoor Survival flat kick snowboard. It’s a freestyle board you can thrash every single day of the season. It’s going to be durable, pretty much bomb-proof…it’s an awesome deck for those freestyle riders out there that want to step up to the next level. And even if you’re already on that next level, this is going to be a great board you can a lot of fun with. It has a flex rating of 5 on a 1-10 scale, so it’s going to be right in the middle. It’s going to be soft yet responsive at the same time.

The freestyle Flat Kick shape is pretty unique because after the inserts the board starts to reverse camber up and then on the nose and tail is what’s called a Flat Kick. It’s a flat nose and flat tail, and it’s great for keeping your board stable and flat, with no edge angle with the snow when you’re taking off jumps or a little lip to get onto the rail. Between the outsides of the inserts is a flat shape also on the snow, so that’s the Flat Kick technology of the Indoor Survival.

The wood core construction is also pretty neat. It has tip to tail and rail to rail poplar wood. Poplar is going to be light and it’ll stay very smooth all season long, plus this wood actually comes from reforested areas, so it’s somewhat eco-friendly. The Form 6C fiberglass is pretty unique. The glass both on top and the bottom of the core runs in two different directions — at 90 and zero degrees — and it’s going to give a nice, soft flex all season long, but this thing does have a couple additives which make it quite poppy.

It has 30 mm carbon fiber low bars that pretty much run on the outsides of the insert packs both on your front and back foot. So, you can load up those tails and noses for ollies and nollies with unbelievable heights.

The sidecut radius run from 7.7 to 8.1, depending on what size board you get. It does seem to have a tighter side cut radius than most freestyle boards do, which is okay with me because when you’re riding freestyle you wanna be able to make some quick, agile turns here and there. What separates this board from a lot of the other boards and what makes it more durable than most are the ABS sidewalls.

There are die cut ABS that pretty much run along the entire board. ABS of course, is going to be pretty much bomb-proof like I said, so you can nail this thing against the jam and it should pop back to its original position. So, that’s pretty much it. It’s the Capita Indoor Survival. It’s an awesome freestyle board…great jib board, lots of snap, lots of pop, cool graphic of course Capita always does a great job on the cool graphics. This board was also a Good Wood award-winner from TransWorld Snowboarding.

    I don’t leave a ton of responses, but after reading a few of the responses here Capita Indoor Survival Review – The House Boardshop | How To Guides, Reviews, and Articles for The House Boardshop. I actually do have a couple of questions for you if it’s allright. Could it be only me or does it appear like a few of these remarks look as if they are left by brain dead visitors? 😛 And, if you are writing at other online sites, I would like to follow you. Could you make a list of the complete urls of all your public pages like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
