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 Space Metal Fantasy Ladies Snowboard
Description
The easy-riding board that can do anything for the rider that does a little of everything.
The five-time Transworld Good Wood Award-winning Space Metal Fantasy is widely regarded as one of the best women's park boards on the market. However, to be fair, labeling it as a park board severely understates its potential.
We present this as a park series for classification purposes, but in truth, it's much more than that. The Space Metal Fantasy is fun for carving around the slopes, playing on features in the park, and even floats ridiculously well in powder. This very forgiving reverse camber shape provides a fun experience for beginner to intermediate riders looking to expedite the learning curve and take their riding to the next level on many different types of terrain. The S.M.F. is a vehicle for progression and can excel in any riding environment without breaking the bank.
