The Details:
After last year’s debut, CAPiTA’s colab with Californian board-builder Corey Smith makes a welcome return for 2015/16. The CAPiTA Slush Slasher is one of the new models from the man behind Spring Break Snowboards, and will no doubt be familiar to anyone who keeps up with the Yawgoons’ carve-happy edits.
The size range for the Slush Slasher tops out at 151cm, but with a 28cm+ waist it’s got plenty of surface area for floating in powder – and the flat base with mellow rocker at the nose and tail will compliment the shape when you’re in the deep stuff.
Of course, with that name it should be obvious that you’re missing a trick if you don’t use this in spring conditions too. If your idea of a good day in the hill is donning a pair of shades, wanging threes off moguls and getting your elbow down at every opportunity, this will max out your funometer in style.
As you won’t be absolutely hooning on this, CAPiTA have reduced the cost by giving it an extruded base. Indeed, at only £275 the Slush Slasher is significantly cheaper than similar short-and-stubby offerings, so you can expand your quiver without breaking the bank.
