You should deffinatley buy this board

I broke my UNINC at the end of last season, then broke my replacement first day of the season this year. I decided to try capita and have been loving my stairmaster ever since. I got a 156 mid-wide and have been riding the crap out of it for about a month now. Best board I've had in a very long time. Durable, good pop but still soft enough for an easy press, and stable at speeds and off tables. Hopefully that should sway your decision.

yeah

i think that i should but is isnt it hard to break a snowboard and is it durable and can u still ride the powder and hit big kickers aswell as go crazy on jibs?

It doesn't seem to be too hard to break some boards...

But yeah so far for me, this board has done it all with complete ease. I've been hitting 40' tables, draggin' lots of knucle on the groomers, nose and tail pressin away, and have even done a few backountry runs in the deep stuff (which was kind of tough but not too bad, but I expected that).

There are definately other boards out there to choose from. but if you had your heart set on the stairmaster, rest assured that you won't be dissapointed.

well

ido have my heart set on it but i just want to be sure it is a durable board for what i do and i cant seem to find another board that price that i want. and is it true that capita uses bad wood and always seem to break on the tips and crack?

not true

Capita's boards are made in one of the best factories in the world. I have a friend who has broken upwards of 5 Burton Dominants in the last two years. He also rode a stairmaster for a full year, and he rode it really hard, until it just broke a few days ago. For 290 dollars, there really isn't a better board.

really

thats cool so i should go for it?

yesyesyes

i got the 156 for christmas and must say it's the best board i've ever ridden. stable yet good for buttering and pressing all over the place. such a fun board
