Review Summary

Avg. Tester Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆ (5/5)

The 2024 Capita Aeronaut Snowboard receives glowing reviews from a variety of riders, highlighting its versatility, performance, and modern design enhancements. It is a true quiver killer, impressing both advanced all-mountain freestyle riders and twin riders seeking a powder board with tricks in mind.

Reviewers praise the board’s directional shape, which holds freestyle genes and features a stiff, poppy tail for boosting side hits. The elongated nose provides a keen sense for butters, while the reliable sidecut ensures a well-rounded experience. Carving on high-speed groomers is a standout feature, with the board excelling in stability and speed. Its low swing weight allows for effortless spins off park jumps, further adding to its versatility.

Despite not being tested extensively in powder, reviewers believe the Aeronaut would perform admirably due to its responsive and nimble nature. The traditional poppy and snappy camber, combined with superior edge hold, ensure precise and enjoyable turns, with impressive edge precision and maneuverability on display.

In summary, the 2024 Capita Aeronaut Snowboard is a highly recommended choice for riders seeking a versatile all-mountain deck. It combines the best of both worlds, appealing to advanced all-mountain freestyle riders who prefer directional boards and twin riders looking for a powder-capable board that can still handle tricks. With its modern design enhancements, reliable edge hold, and exceptional performance on groomers, the Aeronaut proves itself to be a true winner for a wide range of riding styles and terrain.

Testing for the 2024 CAPiTA Aeronaut Snowboard:
We had three different testers with decades of snowboarding experience spend extensive time testing out the all-new CAPiTA Aeronaut Snowboard. As advanced and expert riders with a diverse background of snowboarding experience across a variety of mountains, conditions and terrain, they independently compiled their thoughts and each provided us their individual reviews below.

Pros

• Versatility: The Aeronaut is praised for its versatility, making it suitable for various riding styles and terrain. It performs well as an all-mountain freestyle board and also excels in powder.
• Carving Performance: Reviewers highlight the Aeronaut’s exceptional carving abilities on high-speed groomers. It provides stability, speed, and impressive edge precision, allowing riders to confidently carve turns.
• Responsive and Nimble: The board is described as responsive and nimble, offering a lively and enjoyable riding experience. This responsiveness contributes to its versatility across different terrains.

Cons

• Not Overly Aggressive: Some riders may prefer a more aggressive board, and the Aeronaut is described as responsive but not overly aggressive. This could be a downside for those seeking an extremely high-performance or aggressive board.
• Limited Park Features: Although the board can handle park features and spins off jumps, it may not offer the same level of performance as dedicated park-specific boards. Riders focused primarily on park riding might prefer boards specifically designed for that purpose.
• Limited Powder Testing: While the board shows potential in powder based on speculation from reviewers, its actual performance in deep snow is yet to be fully tested. Riders who prioritize powder riding may seek out specialized powder boards for optimal performance.
