CAPiTA Space Metal Fantasy Women's Snowboard
The award winning Space Metal Fantasy is widely regarded as one of the best women’s park boards on the market. However, to be fair, labeling it as a park board severely understates its potential. CAPiTA presents it as a park series for classification purposes, but in truth, it’s much more than that. The Space Metal Fantasy is fun for carving around the slopes, playing on features in the park, and even floats ridiculously well in powder. This very forgiving reverse camber shape provides a fun experience for beginner to intermediate riders looking to expedite the learning curve and take their riding to the next level on many different types of terrain.
The Space Metal Fantasy excels in a variety of resort and freestyle terrain with the tried and trusted combination of Dual Core™ and Special Blend Fiberglass + Magic Bean™ Resin.

- Rider Type: Resort/Freestyle
- Skill Level: Intermediate 6/10
- Flex: Twin 4/10
- Shape: True Twin
- Park V2 Camber + FLAT KICK TECH - These versatile boards feature a dual reverse camber Flat Kick freestyle shape. A zero camber section throughout the insert area provides a stable skate-style feel, while elevated contact points turn on a dime and float effortlessly in powder.
- Sidecut Radial - A RADIAL sidecut is a single radius design that allows your board to start and finish a turn on the same arc

Construction
- Core FSC® CERTIFIED DUAL CORE™ - Poppy lightweight Poplar core combined wtih Beech for incrased power and durability.
- SPECIAL BLEND FIBERGLASS lamination - SPECIAL BLEND is an eco-friendly wet lay-up process that uses our MAGIC BEAN™ resin component requiring lower consumption of energy and yielding higher technical properties. This adhesion process improves the factory's working environment, as it does not contain some of the same harsh chemical characteristics used in resins at other factories around the world.
- MAGIC BEAN™ Resin - a combination of core and lamination with a special blend of resin, derived from plant sources that are 60% renewable. Its production does not produce waste or greenhouse gases. It supports the pop and durability of the snowboard. The more durable the resin, the thinner and lighter the core.
- PAM1600™ Topsheet - a new and more powerful way of printing enables perfect rendering of the design on the topsheet.
- SUPERDRIVE™ ADV Base - The SUPERDRIVE™ base material lives in the Sintruded category of boards that deliver benefits of both sintruded and extruded bases. These bases take the characteristics and manufacturing techniques used in creating extruded base material, but due to higher pressure and temperature, increase the surface hardness to levels near most sintered bases. This expands the durability and surface strength, creating a base that will be more durable when jibbing and ripping around the mountain while retaining low maintenance and carefree lifepan of the board. SUPERDRIVE™ EX is the benchmark for sintruded base material.
Made from 100% clean energy - The CAPiTA MotherShip™ is the world’s newest, most technologically advanced snowboard manufacturing facility - a clean energy production wonder. They generate the power for CAPiTA production processes via an on-site hydro-activated NH3 Thermal Energy System in concert with newly expanded solar panel array = Zero CO2 Emmissions / Zero Ozone Depletion Potential / Zero Global Warming Potential

How to choose a snowboard
When choosing a snowboard, it is important that it matches the level and experience of the rider and his overall physical constitution - i.e. height and weight. A beginner with no previous experience should choose a snowboard that is not too specific in its parameters for a specific snowboarding style.
Advanced riders usually prefer a specific style – freeride (freeride / pow), freestyle (park riding on obstacles, jumps) or universal/allround (riding on the slope).
VIDEO: How to Choose a Snowboard
The Length of the Snowboard
The length of the snowboard should generally be up to the chin. If the rider is still expected to grow, the size should be chosen between the chin and the nose. For freestyle you can choose a slightly shorter board, but this is not a rule. A board that is too short could make you oversteer in a turn, while a board that is too long makes it difficult to transition into a turn and is generally harder to control.
Weight of the Rider
Each snowboard has a specific weight tolerance - the range of minimum and maximum rider weight. When choosing a snowboard, it is important to consider whether the rider is within this weight tolerance or not. If the rider is too light for the chosen snowboard, they will not flex enough in the turn, will not ride the full length of the effective edge and will not take advantage of the board's characteristics. Riders weighing above the weight tolerance risk overloading the snowboard or damaging it.
If you're not sure if the snowboard you've chosen suits your weight, ask us!
The Width of the Snowboard
The width of the snowboard is also an important parameter. It is important that the rider does not reach the toes or heels of the boots to the slope when riding in an arc. Riders with a boot size of UK 10.5 (EUR 45) and larger should look for wide versions of snowboards. With such a board they will be able to cut arcs without grinding the slope with their toes. There are also snowboards in mid-wide (slightly wider boards) and superwide (wide boards for really big feet) versions.
Flex (Stiffness and Flexibility) of the Snowboard
Softer boards are more suitable for beginners, are easier to control and forgive more mistakes. They are also sought after by freestyle riders who spend most of their time jibbing (riding over obstacles). However, at faster speeds, a soft snowboard is no longer obedient in the arc and cannot bounce as nimbly as a stiffer board.
Stiffer boards require experienced, fast to aggressive riding. When ridden fast, it holds better on edge and overall on frozen surfaces. The choice of a very stiff snowboard depends on the rider's experience, riding style as well as weight - lighter riders should opt for a softer snowboard instead. Not sure how stiff your snowboard is? Ask us!
Women's Snowboards
Women's snowboards take into account the specifics of the female figure. Girls have a different centre of gravity than men, their feet are smaller and their height/weight ratio is also different. All these differences are reflected in the geometry and construction of women's snowboards.
Women's snowboards are narrower, usually softer, and inserts are moved a few millimetres closer to the centre compared to the men's version.
Types of Snowboard Bends
Another criterion when choosing a new snowboard is also the type of bend, such as camber, rocker, flat and various hybrid bends such as 3D camber, double camber etc. The best way to know the type is to put the snowboard on a flat floor and look at its profile to see where it is bent and which parts of the base are touching the ground.
A beginner will be most comfortable with a rocker that is more forgiving of mistakes. The opposite camber bend is better suited for more experienced riders, as it can bite the edge more easily, so it's good to have the snowboard under maximum control, and it has more pop and more precise control over the rocker. The flat shape with almost zero flex provides stability in all terrain, but is most used in snowpark. The hybrid flex is a combination of camber and rocker together, making it a versatile all-mountain board.
Balance of Components
The individual components of the snowboard equipment should be balanced. High-end snowboard assumes a higher model of bindings and snowboard boots. The equipment should be a balanced unit. Manufacturers often list recommended combinations of components in their catalogues and websites.
If you're buying a whole set of gear, it's a good idea to start by choosing your boots. Depending on the size, shape, thickness and possibly the brand of the snowboard boots, the appropriate bindings will be chosen.
For the maximum life of your snowboard, it's a good idea to follow a few rules and tips - these can be found in the article Snowboard maintenance: base and edge care.
