Features

BALANCED ROCKER

The rocker line is very important for a freeride and freestyle board. Too much rocker will slow you down but it’s also necessary for soft landings and an easy ride, while not enough rocker is fast but not comfortable. The medium rocker on the Capital has been shaped to provide optimal landing for all your jumps and is balanced out perfectly, which makes this board steady in all conditions.

3D BOTTOM SHAPE

Single-step tips - The single-step tips provide more grip when cruising. They make the Capital find its track easily and increase flow over the fins. The tips efficiently re-direct the water’s exit path so the board will never stick to the water. Dual Middle Channel - When you start doing jumps, you want a playful board that makes you land as many tricks as possible. The channels in the middle section give you grip for big air and, when landing, steer your board in the right direction. At the same time, the channels make the board loose enough to allow you to finish your trick. This perfect balance between grip and playfulness increases your trick rate. The flat part in the middle is developed to create enough surface area to shred the park.

45MM G10 UPWIND FINS

The Shepherd comes with 45mm G10 fins to ensure a nice grip without losing the ability to correct your landing. A combination of grip and playfulness is well tested and works smoothly.

DUAL VELCRO FOOT STRAP

Never lose your board - A perfect fit of your pads and straps is essential for a good board feeling. The new dual Velcro foot strap has four adjustment points for a perfect fit around your foot. The EVA footpads have an extra toe grip and ergonomic 3D shape to hold your feet securely.

BOOTPROOF INSERTS

The inserts are strong enough to withstand the force of boots. The middle inserts are strengthen with a tropical wood stinger.
