Capita Charlie Slasher FK Snowboard

The Flat Kick powder board has been a dream for years. A true tapered tail powder machine engineered to surf the white waves at a price you can afford. With freestyle inspired tip and tail shapes, these boards have a single reverse camber area from the insert pack forward to keep your nose above the snowline. A mistake some companies make is engineering powder boards to have full rocker in the tail area as well; this reduces stability for stomping pow landings and requires more energy to keep your body weight properly distributed over your board in order to ride away. The Charlie Slasher POW FK has a flat base from the mid section through the tail to make powder riding easier, conserve your energy, and transition the incredible tiring powder days into incredible, epic, pow days.

2011-2012 Capita Charlie Slasher F.K. (Flat Kick) Snowboard Key Features:

Pow Flat Kick Technology - Mono reverse camber FK for powder allows your nose to float above the snowline, while retaining power throughout the tail to stomp landings and slash the hell out of everything.

Re-forestation Certified Sustainable Core - This is the O.G. eco core. Its proven track record offers an environmentally conscious consumer a sustainable alternative without sacrificing energy or stability that you’d expect from CAPiTA. These wood cores have been re-forestation certified by a leading environmental agency for nature and habitat sustainability, but made with a single species poplar grain for a smooth, consistent ride. Extending from edge to edge, tip to tail, the wood grain has no knots or finger joints enhancing response.

Form 6-C Black Fiberglass Construction - The Form 6-C Black glass configuration consists of 612g/m2 biaxial fiberglass laminated in conjunction with dual fleece additives to increase energy and durability. This progressive glass configuration is laid up wet by hand during the lamination process.

Carbon Fiber Beams - The Charlie Slasher FK has two 30mm carbon fiber beams placed vertically at the nose to enhance stability and power in the pow FK configuration.

Radical Taper Side-Cut - Radical Taper was engineered by Capita specifically for deep powder riding, this radial sidecut is complimented by a tapered tail. This narrower tail section naturally sinks in the powder while a wider nose section floats above the snow line. The result is less work and more fun as the board surfs on one smooth continual arc.

Wax Infused Rotation Sintered Speed Base - These bases are created by taking pellets of ultra-high-molecular-weight-polyethylene and compressing them through heat and pressure. The miniscule spaces left behind absorb wax and allow for extended periods of high speed shredding as the wax wicks to the surface while you ride. This prevents your base from drying out and keeps the surface feeling freshly waxed throughout the day. Maintained sintered bases are fast, durable and the choice of most pro snowboarders worldwide.
