Snowboarding originated in the United States in the 1960s and 1970s. The first snowboard was created by Sherman Poppen in 1965, who fastened two skis together and added a rope to create a rudimentary snowboard. In 1977, Jake Burton Carpenter founded Burton Snowboards, which helped to popularize the sport and develop modern snowboarding equipment. By the 1980s, snowboarding had become a popular alternative to skiing, and was officially recognized as an Olympic sport in 1998. Snowboarding initially faced resistance from ski resorts, which viewed snowboarders as reckless and potentially dangerous to other skiers. However, as the sport grew in popularity, most resorts began to welcome snowboarders and create designated terrain parks and halfpipes for them to ride. Today, snowboarding is a popular winter sport enjoyed by millions of people around the world. It has evolved into many different styles and disciplines, including freestyle, halfpipe, big air, and backcountry. We stock a huge range of snowboards, boots, bindings, and accessories to accommodate snowboarders of varying abilities and riding styles.

Capita 2024 Outerspace Living Snowboard
Description
Lightweight and versatile, this board shines for the intermediate all-terrain freerider.
The Outerspace Living features a true-twin freestyle shape blended with an all-terrain camber profile built for freeriding. The inserts are slightly set back to reflect how most riders prefer to mount their bindings on this model, technically making it a directional twin, while retaining the option to mount centered as a true twin depending on stance preference. Inspired by the award-winning Mercury series, positive camber lies underfoot for power retention while an elevated nose and tail help the board swim through variable conditions.
Forgiving when you want them to be while powerful enough to handle sticky situations, these decks feature the FSC® Certified Multizone Core, which provides resort riding response as well as performance in side-country conditions. Do you want to crush laps through the park after the powder is tracked out? If so, then this is the board for you.
