Capita Defenders Of Awesome Snowboard 2022-2023

The Defenders of Awesome series has a big reputation, and these boards back it up. As winners of the most coveted design award in snowboarding for an unprecedented seven years in a row, this model became our #1 selling snowboard and one of the most sought-after snowboards in the world. The D.O.A. features a next-generation hybrid camber design that delivers the pop and response of a cambered board with the predictability of reverse camber and is now available in an extended range of larger sizes. New for 2022, we have further enhanced this iconic series with an all-new P2 Superlight Core, which reduces weight compared to the previous model while providing high impact resistance and maximum pop. With additional construction technology like Fortress Kevlar Bound Sidewalls and a high-speed Quantum Drive base advancing these boards beyond their modest retail price, the D.O.A. series stands proud as the ultimate go anywhere, do anything freestyle deck.
