CAPiTA Aeronaut by Arthur Longo Snowboard | 2024
Side Hit Euphoria™ has generally been considered an enlightened state. Understood as real on a conceptual level, yet intangible to most that lack an understanding of the methodology required to produce such an experience. Now, the existential joy of enhanced board control and massive ollie-pops is attainable to all. The all-new Aeronaut series was designed in collaboration with The Rocket Man, Arthur Longo. The goal: to introduce the local-resort maximizer. The result: a semi-old school, respectful nod to the 90s; a directional, cambered snowboard that can meet the most demanding all-mountain pursuits your resort has to offer. With high-grade components like a HyperDrive™ ADV base, Amplitex V-TECH Amplifiers, and a lightweight and extremely durable Panda Hover Core™, the Aeronaut has the power to charge through terrain at high speeds and pop off any enticing features. Constructed with narrower waist widths and a progressive sidecut flowing into a slightly tapered tail, the Aeronaut will take those same runs you've ridden a million times and turn them into an all-new playground.
Features
-
ALPINE V3 PROFILE – The Alpine V3 profile has a deeper traditional camber that zeroes out before the end of the sidecut. The small zero camber sections provide a more controlled ride while retaining the response and power of a throwback cambered board.
- DIRECTIONAL FLEX - 6/10
- PANDA HOVER CORE - This ultra lightweight core is made from paulownia and poplar wood, and is enhanced with bamboo Power Rods™ for maximum power and response.
- SIDEWALLS - Full ABS1000 Sidewalls
- DIRECTIONAL SHAPE/PROGRESSIVE SIDECUT - This sidecut consists of two or more radii blended together to accommodate the three stages of a turn. It provides easy turn initiation while offering greater control throughout the turn and maximum power while exiting.
- HOLYSHEET™ TRI/BI FIBERGLASS + MAGIC BEAN™ RESIN - Developed over a three-year span, this advanced resin system has a bio-content of 60% renewable, agricultural raw material. It is plant-based and does not compete with primary food sources and is produced with no waste or greenhouse emissions. In production, it has a low-temperature requirement with a high-yield output. This resin system is poppy, powerful, and extremely durable. MAGIC BEAN™ resin yields much stronger and more rigid qualities allowing us to decrease the wood core thickness. Our focus is to save wood core weight by increasing resin performance. This means you get a lighter board while achieving a higher energy return.
- HYPERDRIVE™ ADV - Custom formulated and exclusive to The Mothership, our engineers have worked tirelessly with the world's leading polyethylene running base supplier to create HYPERDRIVE™. With exceptional anti-friction proper- ties due to high molecular mass and specialized pro-cessing aids, this sintered material has a proprietary composition and is beyond fast. Our loyal fans charge hard, and we have integrated the fastest, meanest base available.
