Snowboard specialist from Sideways speaks out.
- Very nice playful board
- Does not immediately penalize when you do not execute a trick correctly.
- Also very fun on the slopes!
- Sidehits can be fine, but in the deep powder it can quickly become challenging.

Meet the Capita Space Metal Fantasy
The Capita Space Metal Fantasy has an impressive track record with five consecutive Transworld Good Wood Awards to its name. It is widely recognized as one of the best park boards for women on the market. However, to be honest, the label 'park board' seriously underestimates its potential.
Although we present this as a park series for classification purposes, the truth is that it is much more than that. The Space Metal Fantasy is not only suitable for the finer arts and aerial tricks in the park, but it also offers a lot of fun when carving turns on the slopes and floats extraordinarily well in powder snow. This extremely forgiving reverse camber shape guarantees an enjoyable experience for beginner to intermediate riders who want to accelerate their learning curve and elevate their skills on various types of terrain. The S.M.F. serves as a springboard for progression and can excel in any riding environment, without you having to dig deep into your pockets.
Park V2 Flatbase profile
As for the camber profile, the Space Metal Fantasy has the Park V2 camber. This means that the board features a double reverse camber Flat Kick freestyle shape. A zero camber section throughout the insert area provides a stable skate-like feel, while elevated contact points ensure an excellent turning radius and effortless float in powder snow.
In short, the Capita Space Metal Fantasy is an exceptionally versatile snowboard. Whether you want to sharpen your skills in the park, love blasting down the slopes at high speed, or enjoy deep powder snow, this board promises a phenomenal experience. Investing in the Space Metal Fantasy is investing in your progression and enjoyment on the mountain.

Technical Specifications
Capita snowboards are handcrafted in Austria using self-generated clean energy at The MotherShip™.
The SUPERDRIVE™ base material belongs to the category of sintered pressed sheets that offer the advantages of both sintered and extruded bases. These bases have the properties and production techniques of extruded base material, but due to the higher pressure and temperature, the hardness of the surface is increased to levels that approach most sintered bases. This enhances the durability and strength of the surface, creating a base that is more durable during jibbing and tearing on the mountain, while the board requires little maintenance and has a carefree lifespan.
Poppy lightweight poplar core combined with beech for more strength and durability.
The Capita MotherShip™ is the world's newest, technologically most advanced snowboard manufacturing facility - a marvel of clean energy production. We generate the energy for the Capita production processes through a hydro-active NH3 thermal energy system on-site, in combination with our recently expanded solar panels.
SPECIAL BLEND is an eco-friendly lay-up process that uses our MAGIC BEAN™ resin component, which consumes less energy and delivers higher technical properties. This bonding process improves the working environment in the factory because it does not contain the same aggressive chemical properties found in resins used in other factories around the world.
These versatile boards feature a Flat Kick freestyle shape with a dual reverse camber. A zero camber section throughout the insert provides a stable skate feel, while the elevated contact points allow for quick turns and seamless floating in the powder.
A snowboard where the shape and dimensions are completely symmetrical, both in length and width.
