They say: Light, strong and easy to ride.
We say: The positive camber on the Saturnia keeps the board stable and gives it a decent amount of pop, despite that soft flex. It has an extruded base, so it’s not that quick, but for jibbing about in the park or cruising round the pistes, this’ll rock.
Tester says: Nice, responsive and turned really easily. Would suit an intermediate I reckon.

About Capita
- Building boards since: 2000
- HQ: Seattle, WA, USA
- History lesson: Capita was founded by former Burton pro-rider and art afficianado Jason Brown in the early years of this century and quickly established itself as the anarchic devil-child of the snowboarding world. Capita combines this snotty punk-rock attitude with graphics by people who take themselves seriously as artists. But the brand is also renowned for its sense of humour, as classic designs like the twin-swallowtail Travis Parker pro-model showed. The graphic told riders where not to grab to avoid looking gay.
- Ridden by: Park rats who roll up the bottom of their beanies and keep their middle finger in a constant state of readiness to flick at police, parents or pisteurs. And unfortunately, the kind of wanker who thinks name-dropping Dash Snow makes him cool.
