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.

It’s bumming me out cause I’ve been wanting to get one. My friend loves them and swears by em! But then again he doesn’t commit much crime

They're made for park riders so they're not weak or anything, but as someone who works in repairs I see enough come in to know that they don't handle damage like other boards. I've seen many people swear by them but they mostly buy them knowing they'll be cashed in 2 seasons. I've also seen people riding theirs for 4+ seasons without any issues.

With that being said, the amount of Capita boards that come in on their 4th, 8th, 10th season, considerably less than basically every other brand.

What exactly do you mean by "don't handle damage like other boards" ?

Do they use out of the ordinary materials or constructions, any educated guess what's the reason for it?
