Expert verdict

The CAPiTA Defenders of Awesome Snowboard is a true legend in the snowboarding world. It's like the Swiss Army knife of boards, ready to tackle anything you throw at it. With its hybrid camber design, you get the best of both worlds: the pop and response of a cambered board and the buttery smooth rocker feel at the tip and tail. It's perfect for park enthusiasts but doesn't shy away from all-mountain adventures. The P2 lightweight core keeps it light yet durable, making it a joy to ride. If you're looking for a board that can do it all, this is your go-to.

The Icon. One of the most famous snowboards of all time.

The Defenders of Awesome series has a big reputation, and these boards back it up. A winner of the most coveted design award in snowboarding for an unprecedented seven years in a row, this model became our #1 selling snowboard and one of the most sought-after snowboards in the world. The D.O.A. features a next-generation hybrid camber design that delivers the pop and response of a cambered board with the predictability of reverse camber and is now available in an extended range of wide sizes.

The P2 Superlight Core™ reduces weight while providing high-impact resistance and maximum pop. With additional construction technology like Fortress™ Aramid Bound Sidewalls and a high-speed Quantum Drive™ base advancing these boards beyond their modest retail price, the D.O.A. series stands proud as the ultimate go-anywhere, do-anything freestyle deck.

I tried DOA and it's really cool because you can do many things with it, going fast, turning, and even doing tricks. I used it with Union Ultra bindings, and it was simple to use and felt nice. You can change up how you attach your boots and still have fun. This snowboard looks modern and attractive. There are different... Read more

I found myself on the capita DOA un the 21/22 season, and here are some of my take away from the board! one thing I noticed immediately was the playfulness of the board, given its stiffer to medium flex date, with the rOcker in the nose and take it really gives this board some life when trying butters, given the...

This board was a blast. This board is built for those high level beginner riders and up looking to explore the mountain and ride a little bit of everything! This board can feel right at home in the park all day or spend its time hitting high speeds and dodging trees. It's a versatile board with a hybrid camber profile... Read more
Ideal for
  • Best for the all mountain rider who wants to ride a little of everything.
  • This board is best for the rider who want a good flexing, stable feeling board.
  • Best for non stop adventures all over the mountain. Park to powder this board can do a little of everything.
Not ideal for
  • Not the best board in deep powder.
  • True twin shape so not quite as much versatility that would be seen in other all mountain boards.
  • Mellow mid flex board so not the most stable board at high charging speeds.

All Purpose, All fFun!

Originally posted at capitasnowboarding.com on Jan 27, 2024
Such a fun board that can go anywhere. Loads of pop, with a very lively feel. Easy to turn. It holds a good edge, yet can still be pressed without too much effort. Defender of the Awesome for life.

Vince was so caring and helpful, I am a skier and my partner is a snowboarder and her board and all her gear recently got stolen. I decided to surprise her with a new set of gear, but had no idea what I was looking at! Vince made it easy to understand, and for that I am so so grateful. Feeling glad I chose Curated!

Nate was incredibly knowledgeable. I came to curated because I was worried about the differences between Colorado, where I live now, and Virginia, where I am moving to. I knew that my set-up was not gonna cut it for the icy grommed trails of the eastcoast and nate helped me find the right tech for the new terrain I was going to be experiencing! THANK YOU!

This is a new business model for me: personal expert guiding me through an expensive purchase. I was a little worried this was AI or at least someone who wanted me to spend max money. However, Christian was not pushy, sent me a lot of info when I asked questions, and guided me towards the best items in my budget. I’d definitely recommend Curated.

First time I ever used Curated and I got paired with a stand-up guy (Jared), he helped me through the process of picking a new board - I've been hesitant to pull the plug on a new one but he got me a great deal and gave me the best options that fit my needs on the mountain. Total bro, 100% recommend - made my curated experience easy and stress free.
