This is a fast and sharp snowboard, cutting through backcountry terrain like no other. While many excellent powder boards are large and surfy, the CAPiTA Kazu Kokubo Pro stands out with its compact build featuring a powder nose and slightly tapered tail, making this award-winning series fast and agile. This versatility is ideal for those off-piste powder mornings and handles beautifully on chopped-up slopes later in the day. Maximum power is unleashed thanks to the new ultra-light PANDA HOVER CORE™ with bamboo power rods and CARBONFLAX™ AMPLIFIER strips, which also provide vibration damping.
For this year, CAPiTA has added a new, faster, and thicker base to Kazu. The upgraded sintered HYPERDRIVE™ ADV XT base, equipped with factory Moonshot Omni Tune™ structure, further drains water and accelerates your ride even more. The wood veneer topsheet is not only stunning but also lighter than the classic version. Although the bar is set high, this board is your first step towards emulating Kazu's legendary riding style.
