CAPiTA: Pioneers of Sustainable Snowboarding

When it comes to snowboarding, few brands stand out like CAPiTA. Established in 2000 and stationed in the stunning landscapes of Austria, CAPiTA has made a name for itself by merging cutting-edge technology with a deep commitment to environmental responsibility. The company's mission is clear: to craft the world’s best snowboards while prioritizing sustainability, ensuring that future generations can enjoy the winter wonderlands.

A Commitment to Clean Energy

One of CAPiTA's standout features is its unique approach to snowboard production. The production facility, called “The Mothership” operates the world’s first 100% clean energy production facility since its opening in 2015. Situated near the charming town of Feistritz, this state-of-the-art facility utilizes the local river with an on-site energy system to create a carbon-free energy source, minimizing the brand's environmental footprint. Their dedication to responsible production processes reflects a deep respect for the winters we love, ensuring that these environments are preserved for future riders.

Locally Sourced, Handcrafted Quality

CAPiTA takes pride in its locally sourced materials, with 90% coming from within an eight-hour drive of their factory, significantly reducing transportation emissions. Each snowboard is handcrafted from high-performing wood cores, thoroughly inspected by skilled carpenters.

Their production process blends tradition and innovation, with freshly pressed boards undergoing thorough hand inspections before automated grinding and finishing. This careful approach ensures exceptional precision while minimizing errors and waste. The "MotherShip" stamp of approval guarantees that every board meets CAPiTA's high standards.

Cutting-Edge Technology

CAPiTA features in-house printing and PLT Topsheet technology, which eliminates the need for telescoping and boosts board performance. Their 5-axis CNC milling process ensures precision at a microscopic level, minimizing production errors. The "MotherShip" quality stamp is the result of the final stage of board production, where manual inspection and machine accuracy come together. This commitment to technological advancement enables CAPiTA to produce high-quality, efficient, and sustainable snowboards.
