CAPiTA Ultrafear Wide Men's Snowboard
The award-winning design and star of countless videos, the Ultrafear has earned a legendary position as one of the best jibb and park boards in the world. This year, it's looking forward to the return of the retro shape that brought it its greatest glory, helping you take on new challenges and try new tricks.
Featuring a P2 Superlight Core™, carbon, and a 1.5mm cork cushioning system on the edges, the Ultrafear is packed with top-notch technical features and will deliver the ollie power and durability that many freestyle riders crave.
Main parameters
- Destination: resort/freestyle
- Skill level: 8/10 – advanced
- Flex: Twin Flex 5.5/10
- Shape: True Twin
- Camber Resort V1 Profile Camber - RESORT V1 boards take full advantage of traditional, zero and reverse camber. This next generation construction allows you to get the pop and response of a camber board with all the predictability and easy turn initiation of a zero or reverse camber shape.
- FLAT KICK TECH – thanks to the reduced tip profile radius, the reverse camber board is forgiving and easy to control; with a flat tip and tail for stability when jibbing and easier floatation in powder.
- Sidecut Radial – The RADIAL sidecut is a single radius design that allows your board to start and finish a turn in the same arc.
- Versatility 8/10, Groomers 10/10, Powder 4/10, Jumps 8/10, Jibbing 6/10
Construction
- P2 SUPERLIGHT™ core – ultra-light paulownia and poplar core is impact resistant and provides maximum pop.
- HYBRID HOLYSHEET™ BI/BI CARBON – ingeniously woven carbon additives directly into HOLYSHEET™ glass fibers, leading to a significant increase in layering accuracy and a significant reduction in weight.
- MAGIC BEAN™ Resin – a combination of core and lamination with a special blend of resins derived from plant sources that are 60% renewable. Its production produces no waste or greenhouse gases. It promotes the pop and durability of the snowboard. The more durable the resin, the thinner and lighter the core.
- PLT Topsheet Technology – a topsheet exclusive to CAPiTA MFG that miraculously bonds the topsheet to an already curved snowboard, creating a lightweight, smooth, high-gloss surface without the use of any solvents or toxic varnishes in the final product.
- SUPERDRIVE™ ADV Base – SUPERDRIVE™ base material falls into the category of sintered bases that provide the benefits of both sintered and extruded bases. These bases utilize the properties and manufacturing techniques used to create extruded bases, but by using higher pressure and temperature, they increase the surface hardness to levels close to most sintered bases. This extends the durability and strength of the surface, creating a base that will be more durable when jibbing and ripping through the mountains. At the same time, it maintains low maintenance and long board life. SUPERDRIVE™ EX is the base for sintered base material.
- 1.5 mm CORK EDGE DAMPENING SYSTEM - The cork dampening system is durable and lighter than rubber. It is placed between the steel edge and the ABS sidewall and increases the board's resistance to blunt impacts around the entire perimeter.
Powered by 100% Clean Energy – The CAPiTA MotherShip™ is the world’s newest, most technologically advanced snowboard manufacturing facility – a clean energy wonder. CAPiTA generates energy for its manufacturing processes via an on-site NH3 hydro-activated thermal energy system in conjunction with a newly expanded solar panel system = zero CO2 emissions / zero ozone depletion potential / zero global warming potential.
How to choose a snowboard
When choosing a snowboard, it is important that it matches the level and experience of the rider and his overall physical constitution - i.e. height and weight. A beginner with no previous experience should choose a snowboard that is not too specific in its parameters for a specific snowboarding style.
Advanced riders usually prefer a specific style – freeride (freeride / pow), freestyle (park riding on obstacles, jumps) or universal/allround (riding on the slope).
VIDEO: How to Choose a Snowboard
The Length of the Snowboard
The length of the snowboard should generally be up to the chin. If the rider is still expected to grow, the size should be chosen between the chin and the nose. For freestyle you can choose a slightly shorter board, but this is not a rule. A board that is too short could make you oversteer in a turn, while a board that is too long makes it difficult to transition into a turn and is generally harder to control.
Weight of the Rider
Each snowboard has a specific weight tolerance - the range of minimum and maximum rider weight. When choosing a snowboard, it is important to consider whether the rider is within this weight tolerance or not. If the rider is too light for the chosen snowboard, they will not flex enough in the turn, will not ride the full length of the effective edge and will not take advantage of the board's characteristics. Riders weighing above the weight tolerance risk overloading the snowboard or damaging it.
If you're not sure if the snowboard you've chosen suits your weight, ask us!
The Width of the Snowboard
The width of the snowboard is also an important parameter. It is important that the rider does not reach the toes or heels of the boots to the slope when riding in an arc. Riders with a boot size of UK 10.5 (EUR 45) and larger should look for wide versions of snowboards. With such a board they will be able to cut arcs without grinding the slope with their toes. There are also snowboards in mid-wide (slightly wider boards) and superwide (wide boards for really big feet) versions.
Flex (Stiffness and Flexibility) of the Snowboard
Softer boards are more suitable for beginners, are easier to control and forgive more mistakes. They are also sought after by freestyle riders who spend most of their time jibbing (riding over obstacles). However, at faster speeds, a soft snowboard is no longer obedient in the arc and cannot bounce as nimbly as a stiffer board.
Stiffer boards require experienced, fast to aggressive riding. When ridden fast, it holds better on edge and overall on frozen surfaces. The choice of a very stiff snowboard depends on the rider's experience, riding style as well as weight - lighter riders should opt for a softer snowboard instead.

Women's Snowboards
Women's snowboards take into account the specifics of the female figure. Girls have a different centre of gravity than men, their feet are smaller and their height/weight ratio is also different. All these differences are reflected in the geometry and construction of women's snowboards.
Women's snowboards are narrower, usually softer, and inserts are moved a few millimetres closer to the centre compared to the men's version.
Types of Snowboard Bends
Another criterion when choosing a new snowboard is also the type of bend, such as camber, rocker, flat and various hybrid bends such as 3D camber, double camber etc. The best way to know the type is to put the snowboard on a flat floor and look at its profile to see where it is bent and which parts of the base are touching the ground.
A beginner will be most comfortable with a rocker that is more forgiving of mistakes. The opposite camber bend is better suited for more experienced riders, as it can bite the edge more easily, so it's good to have the snowboard under maximum control, and it has more pop and more precise control over the rocker. The flat shape with almost zero flex provides stability in all terrain, but is most used in snowpark. The hybrid flex is a combination of camber and rocker together, making it a versatile all-mountain board.
Balance of Components
The individual components of the snowboard equipment should be balanced. High-end snowboard assumes a higher model of bindings and snowboard boots. The equipment should be a balanced unit. Manufacturers often list recommended combinations of components in their catalogues and websites.
If you're buying a whole set of gear, it's a good idea to start by choosing your boots. Depending on the size, shape, thickness and possibly the brand of the snowboard boots, the appropriate bindings will be chosen.
For the maximum life of your snowboard, it's a good idea to follow a few rules and tips - these can be found in the article Snowboard maintenance: base and edge care.
