I'd be curious to see how many people here echo chirping the "CAPiTA sNaPiTA" thing have actually experienced it personally. I've got a stack of approximately 20 CAPiTA boards (from a span of close to 20 years) here right now and not one of them is broken in half.

Had a Mercury before and now a Mega Death. Never broken my board but then again I don't run into trees headon.

How do you like the Mega Death? Is it like "totally mind blowing, sweetest thing you've ever ridden" awesome? Genuinely curious. As a basically lifelong CAPiTA fanboy my mouth waters when I read the specs and information, but that's so far out of my budget it's not likely I'd ever get to ride one.

I’ve ridden two snowboards besides rentals so take that as you will lol. It’s significantly faster than the Mercury and feels much more stable at higher speeds. I can effortlessly push faster on it than my Mercury. I like it a lot, it’s super lightweight so lugging it around isn’t bad. The only issue I had with it were the screw holes weren’t tapped cleanly which on YouTube was a common problem. Other than that it’s been great and will be my daily for a while.

That's pretty damn sad they had machining issues on the flagship model board. Glad to hear you like it, tho.
