CAPiTA Kazu Kokubo Pro Snowboard

Designed in collaboration with Japanese professional snowboarder Kazu Kokubo, the CAPiTA Kazu Kokubo Pro Snowboard is a high-performance all-mountain freeride board built for riders who demand speed, precision and playful manoeuvrability in challenging terrain. Inspired by Kazu's distinctive blend of technical freestyle and powerful freeriding, this directional snowboard combines exceptional powder float, energetic pop and reliable edge hold to deliver a versatile ride across the entire mountain.

From deep powder in the backcountry to steep tree runs, natural terrain features and fast groomers, the Kazu Kokubo Pro is designed to move effortlessly between freeride and freestyle terrain. Its compact, manoeuvrable shape makes it quick through tight turns and technical lines, while its directional outline and setback stance help keep the nose floating in deeper snow. Whether you're slashing powder, launching natural features or carving your way back to the lift, this board rewards an assertive, confident riding style.

At the heart of the design is CAPiTA's Resort V3 Directional hybrid camber profile, which combines positive camber beneath the bindings with elevated contact points towards the nose and tail. The camber platform delivers powerful response, dependable edge hold and stability at speed, while the raised contact points help the board plane through powder and provide a smoother, more forgiving feel in variable terrain. This balance makes the Kazu Kokubo Pro equally capable of charging steep faces and transitioning into playful, creative riding.

The directional shape features a 0.8-inch setback and radial taper, positioning the rider slightly towards the tail to improve flotation in powder. The wider nose and slightly narrower tail help the board lift naturally through soft snow while maintaining control and quick turn initiation. This geometry creates a responsive, surf-inspired feel in powder without sacrificing the precision needed for firm snow and groomed runs. With a directional flex rating of 6.5/10, the board offers a supportive, powerful ride suited to experienced riders who like to push their speed and explore challenging terrain.

Lightweight construction is central to the Kazu Kokubo Pro's performance. CAPiTA's Panda Hover Core™, reinforced with Bamboo Power Rods™, is engineered to deliver a combination of low weight, energetic pop and responsive power. The core is paired with Hybrid HolySheet™ fibreglass laminates and Magic Bean™ resin to provide strength and efficient energy transfer without unnecessary bulk. CarbonFlax™ Amplifiers combine carbon fibres with natural flax fibres, delivering lively response and snap alongside vibration-damping characteristics for a smoother, more controlled feel through rough snow.

Underneath, the Hyperdrive™ ADV XT sintered base is engineered for exceptional glide and enhanced durability. The upgraded, thicker base construction is designed to handle demanding riding and impacts, while the factory-direct Moonshot Omni-Tune™ structure helps optimise glide across a variety of snow conditions. When maintained with regular waxing and appropriate base care, this high-performance base helps the board maintain speed through flat sections, across run-outs and into natural features.

Finished with CAPiTA's distinctive artwork and premium construction, the Kazu Kokubo Pro is an outstanding choice for advanced snowboarders looking for a powerful freeride board that remains quick, playful and versatile. It is built for riders who want to explore the mountain beyond the groomed runs, ride powder with confidence and bring a freestyle mindset to natural terrain.
