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 Kazu Kokubo Pro Snowboard
Description
The big mountain freestyler.
Fast and powerful, this is the switchblade of powder boards. The redesigned Kazu Kokubo Pro comes in a compact chassis with a powder nose and a slightly tapered tail, making this award-winning series quick and maneuverable. This versatility is perfect for side-country powder mornings that transition to resort riding after you’ve tracked your secret stash.
For 2023, the Kazu Pro has been re-shaped to feature new camber lines intended to soften the tail and accommodate a wider range of conditions for a wider range of riders. This enhanced release comes with an even faster high-speed sintered base and the Moonshot Omni Tune straight from The Mothership's space-age grinding line.
While it's a lofty goal, this board is your first step towards trying to emulate Kazu's legendary riding style.
