2026 CAPiTA Women's The Equalizer by Jess Kimura Snowboard

THE EQUALIZER BY JESS KIMURA

Inspired by Jess Kimura's progression from the streets to the backcountry, The Equalizer was born to level the playing field on the mountain and offer riders a high-end all-mountain option designed specifically for women. The series now features an updated custom-designed hybrid camber profile, providing positive camber through the inserts for carving control, while reverse camber in the nose and tail maximizes float in powder. The Equalizer's ride and response comes from its META Core™ to achieve a desirable flex for all-mountain terrain, while Technora™ Flax Boosters provides longitudinal power. Featuring a Quantum Drive™ high-speed sintered base, The Equalizer is one of the most technically advanced women's freeride boards on the market.

Board Specs

• Rider Type: All-Mtn / Freeride
• Shape: Directional 0.8" Setback
• Sidecut: Blended Radial
• Flex: Directional 5.5
• Camber: Resort V2 Directional + Flat Kick Tech — Raised camber platform through the inserts to retain high-speed edge hold through variable terrain, elevated contact points to land and float in powder, and Flat Kick tip and tail arcs for faster, more aggressive transitions.

Construction

• Topsheet: PLT Topsheet Technology™ — PLT Topsheet Technology™ is exclusive to CAPiTA MFG and magically bonds the topsheet to an already pressed snowboard. This produces a featherlight, smooth, high-gloss finish, without using any solvents or toxic lacquers in finishing.
• Glass + Resin: HOLYSHEET™ Tri/Bi + Magic Bean™ Resin — HOLYSHEET™ Fiberglass configuration features fiber weaves with a high tensile strength and low modulus of elasticity. With a higher roving count in the same weight of glass, you can have a stronger and more responsive board without adding extra weight.
• Core: META Core™ — We took our extremely lightweight P2 Superlight Core™, added high bending and shock absorbing Beech stringers running through the inserts for increased strength and even snappier pop.
• Additives: 2 x 30mm Technora™ Flax Boosters — With an excellent tensile strength and fatigue resistance, TECHNORA™ is an aramid fiber that functions as a shock absorber and energy source when integrated into a snowboard construction layup. We have interwoven TECHNORA™ with an extremely lightweight and all-natural Flax fiber to invigorate every construction combination for maximum turning and ollie power.
• Base: Quantum Drive™ Base — The QUANTUM DRIVE™ running base is formulated with a progressive blend of compressed ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene. As an evolution from the already blazing fast ULTRADRIVE™, this running base features higher density for durability and absorbs more wax to wick longer and ride faster. Properly maintained sintered bases are fast, durable, and are the preferred choice of many high-end enthusiasts worldwide.
