Defenders Of Awesome 2025
All-mountain snowboard - Men -
The Defenders Of Awesome 2025 is an all-mountain board for men from the Capita brand for intermediate to advanced levels.
A best-seller from Capita, the D.O.A is the most versatile board from the range. A true all-mountain board, the Defenders Of Awesome offers all the features needed to face any situation. With this model, Capita hits perfection! This attention to detail is reflected in the number of festival awards won (7 at Good Wood).
The central innovation is the arrival of a new core : the P2 Superlight™ Core, for an even lighter and more impact-resistant board.
In terms of freestyle, the planche is completely at ease with its carbon-amplified playful pop. The flex 5.5, the tolerant twist and the 15 centimetres of flat camber outside the inserts make the DOA a predictable and stable landing board. An excellent board.
On the off-piste side, the Defenders Of Awesome is ready to rock with its two rockers (reverse camber) and Wah-Pow spatulas! It's capable of tracking through powder and holding its own in slightly more difficult terrain. On the track, it is reliable and grippy with its positive camber and carbon reinforcements that stabilise it in corners.
The Defenders Of Awesome 2025 is definitely an accessible all-mountain board that will open all the doors to different snowboarding practices!
NOTE! The topsheet varies according to size: between 148 and 164 "Capita" is in red, from 151W to 163W "Capita" is in yellow.

- 2 carbon strips between inserts and edges
Flex: 5.5/10 - Medium
| Cambre - RESORT V1 | The RESORT V1 Profile boards take full advantage of the benefits of traditional camber, zero camber and reverse camber. This next-generation design gives you the pop and responsiveness of a cambered board with all the predictability and turn initiation ease of a flat camber or reverse camber shape. |
| Shape - BLENDED RADIAL / TRUE TWIN | Symmetrical board in terms of dimensions and flex. Ideal for freestyle riding and jibbing. A sidecut Blended Radial offers different curve radii between the centre of the board and the contact zones, suitable for certain aspects of riding. |
| Core - P2 SUPERLIGHT™ | Poplar wood core and palauwnia stringers. Quality core with uniform flex, predictable behaviour and lighter weight than recent models. Blend of power and manoeuvrability. |
| Topsheet - PLT TOPSHEET TECHNOLOGY™ | PLT Topsheet Technology™ is exclusive to CAPITA MFG and magically links the topsheet to an already pressed snowboard. This gives a feather-light, smooth, high-gloss finish without the use of toxic solvents or lacquers when finishing. |
| Sole - QUANTUM DRIVE™ | The QUANTUM DRIVE™ sole is made from a very high-intensity compressed polyethylene blend. As an evolution of the already fast ULTRADRIVE™, this sole has a higher density for increased durability and absorbs more wax for a fast and precise glide. |
| HYBRID HOLYSHEET™ BI/BI CARBON | Carbon additives have been added directly to the HOLYSHEET™glass fibre, considerably improving precision during lamination and significantly reducing weight. |
La Defenders Of Awesome est une arme de choix pour les rideurs polyvalents qui aiment tout ce qu'il y a de meilleur dans le snowboard. Elle est capable de trancher les kickers et d'offrir des réceptions tolérantes sans nous envoyer dans le décor sur les réceptions moins propres.
L'accroche est saine et convient parfaitement pour la prise de vitesse sur tous types de neige. Sur la piste, la DOA est volontaire et engagée et ne nous fait aucune mauvaise surprise.
Elle aussi accessible techniquement que financièrement. Très très bon rapport qualité/prix.
Les Plus : polyvalence, valeur sûre et durabilité de la planche.
Les Moins : comportement en poudreuse !
