Capita Aeronaut By Arthur Longo Snowboard 2024

ROCKET MAN.

REVIEWED BY: Garrett Finn

Snappy, energetic, and ready to take flight. The Capita Aeronaut is a board designed for pro rider Arthur Longo. If you know anything about Arthur, you know he’s the master of finding natural hits and launching them huge, so it only makes sense that the Aeronaut is loaded with pop. That poppy feel not only makes it a great freestyle board but also gives it a maneuverable feel that creates a quick feeling edge to edge and makes it easy to pivot at lower speeds in tighter terrain. While it’s not the most powerful board, the Aeronaut can handle some higher speeds. Specifically off-trail and on ungroomed snow I found it to do a great job powering through turbulent snowpack and eating up any chatter. On groomers, a traditional camber profile and directional shape make it easy to link together some nice carves. At most speeds, it feels smooth and locked in, but if you’re just out there to straight-line groomers there are going to be more stable options. While it’s sick on groomers, the Aeronaut wants to do more than just rip groomers. It wants a rider who’s going to ride everywhere and will be using their imagination to get the most out of any given part of the mountain. 

Who's this board for? Riders who like to ride hard but don't need the most stiff, burly board. Riders who like to catch air off natural features.   

Who's this board not for? High-speed carvers and anyone who prefers a damp feel underfoot.
