The Capita Spring Break Resort Twin is an all-mountain freestyle snowboard that is designed specifically for its versatility across small to medium sized resorts (East Coast and Mid-West Resorts). This snowboard features a hybrid camber profile with camber between your feet and rocker in its tips and a medium 5/10 flex. This board was designed for riders who prioritize carving performance on groomers and ice all while having an explosive extra boost of pop in the park.
My Review Summary
After testing the Resort Twin for a season and a half, I’ve found it to an incredibly well rounded all-mountain freestyle deck that at a great price. The Resort Twin offered the perfect balance of stability and response carving with its pressability and pop for riding the park. I would categorize the Resort Twin as a top choice all mountain freestyle deck for any intermediate rider who wants one board that can do everything they need it at their resort.

For the SB Resort Twin, I’m using my All-Mountain Freestyle scoring system, which prioritizes a blend of carving, versatility, and park performance. The ‘Weight’ column below shows you exactly how much each characteristic contributes to the final score.
The Resort Twin earned a 83.9 out of a possible 100 in our All-Mountain / Freestyle boards rating scale. Here are the stats from the review.
The Highlights of the Capita SB Resort Twin
Overall, the Resort Twin is extremely versatile and fun to ride all over the resort, and in most conditions. This is a board that carves well, feels stable underfoot, has an exceptional level of pop for jumps, and is playful enough to be great at jibbing, too. It’s got a noticeably fast base, and it will be a solid board for 90% of the resort and park riders out there.
The main limitation of the Resort Twin is if you’re looking for an aggressive carver of an all mountain board, this isn’t it. It carves well enough for the casual resort rider, but if you’re looking to push it to its absolute speed limits, it will chatter enough to force you to slow down. The chatter is manageable for the occasional bombed hill, just keep your knees bent and you’ll be fine. However, if you’re the type of rider who only wants to go fast, there are damper and more stable boards out there to support that type of riding. This is more for the casual resort rider who just wants to enjoy the ride.
If you’re looking for a resort snowboard that can carve well and hit park features, get the Resort Twin and love every second of being on it.
Pros
- Resort Versatility – It’s a board that balances all types of resort riding for the East Coast or Mid-west resort rider.
- Park Performance – This is a board that is excellent for jumping and jibbing evenly.
- Edge Hold – This feature’s Capita’s Deathgrip sidecut, so there is one serration right in the center of the sidecut of the board. This helps to give it an extra locked in feel on groomers and ice with out feeling overly catchy.
Cons
- Not Beginner-Friendly – While it is easy to ride, it will feel catchy to a beginner
- Not the Dampest Board – It can feel chattery if you’re riding aggressive on uneven terrain.
- Takes Time to Break in Flex – It can feel torsionally stiff until it breaks in. The carbon in the tips stiffen up the board from toe to heal for the first few days of riding it. (They offer tons of pop, though.)
How Does the Capita SB Resort Twin Handle Across the Entire Resort?
The Resort Twin is a go anywhere and do anything-type of snowboard that does a great job bridging the gap between a stable, focused groomed terrain carver and an explosively poppy park deck. Its hybrid camber and special sidecut give you a locked-in feel on groomers while remaining playful enough to hike rails and hit side-hits.
Here are the main highlights for what it felt like to ride the Resort Twin.
It’s An All-Mountain Snowboard That Carves Exceptionally Well
This is a board that carves so well. When you first step on this board, you’ll notice it has an exceptional level of edge hold. Capita Gave this board its Radial Sidecut with Deathgrip technology. This special sidecut means the Resort Twin has a traditional sidecut arc that runs the length of the board, with one additional contact point added directly in the center of the arc. If you were to look closely at the edge of this snowboard, it would look like this.
Notice the extra bump in the center of the snowboard’s edge? That extra contact point in the center of the sidecut allows the board to grip better in all conditions, regardless of the type of terrain you are riding in. The extra level of grip allows you to feel in control at all times, so you can ride confidently and improve how you connect your turns without worrying if it’s too icy out.
Is the Resort Twin for the rider who is meticulous with their carves? No.
The Spring Break Resort Twin excels at quicker, tighter turns. This board’s shorter sidecut radius and camber dominant profile make it easier to make tighter, more abrupt turns. The carving abilities of the Resort Twin make it perfect for carving groomers at your favorite resort, cruising through trees, and navigating from feature to feature in the terrain park.
While the Capita Spring Break Resort Twin is capable of making the occasional wider, more precise carve, too, it’s just not its strong suit.
If you’re primarily focused on carving and digging precise, deep trenches at higher speeds, there are better carving-focused boards than the Resort Twin for you to consider. The Resort Twin is intended more for the all-mountain resort rider that wants one board that can do a little bit of everything well and not for the hard charging carver.
Does the Resort Twin Have a Strong Level of Edge Hold?
Yes, the Deathgrip sidecut adds a serrated contact point in the center, providing a locked-in feel on ice without feeling catchy.
How is the Resort Twin on Jumps?
The Resort Twin is also excellent for hitting jumps. It’s noticeably poppy. There are two V shaped carbon boosters added into the nose and tail, and these give you an extra 10 to 15% boost of pop off jumps.
The flat to rocker sections in the tips also make it more forviging to land with, too. So if you’re slightly off axis with your spins, this board will make landing feel easier.
How is the Resort Twin for Jibbing?
It’s a decent deck to jib with overall.
While this board has a medium flex pattern, it is very pressable for nose and tail presses on rail features. The carbon in the tips also give you a little extra boost off of jib features so you can get an extra 180, too.
Is the Resort Twin a jibbing master? It is great for Jibbing, but I wouldn’t say it is a jib-specific master of a board. Instead, it’s a balanced park board that can jib, jump, and carve well (so it prioritizes resort versatility over being the softest deck to lock on to features).
With that said, the flex worked well to cradle around features, but I wouldn’t say it’s the softest jib board you can buy to help you jib. So, if you’re buying this deck specifically for jibbing, you probably can find a softer Capita board to lock on to rails even easier, like the Capita Stairmaster. I’d say the Resort Twin is a balanced deck that prioritizes its versatility to jib, jump, and carve over being a jib master. So while it can jib noticeably well, if that’s all you’ll do, get a softer deck.
Is the Resort Twin’s Base Fast?
Yes, this is a quick feeling base. Is it the fastest base you can buy? No, but it is faster than most of the bases at the $600 price point.
Capita gave this board a hybrid “sintruded” base. Capita calls it the Power Drive Base. It was originally formulated for the wider Spring Break Powder Division boards. It combines the speed and durability of a sintered base with the low maintenance characteristics of an extruded base.
I was surprised at how fast the board is, though. I was expecting it to be like a slower extruded base, and it wasn’t. Underfoot, it feels exactly like a sintered base. I wax it just as I would a sintered base, and I’ve had no issues getting speed. It flies through flatter sections and has no issues getting speed between features in the park.
Is It Easy to Butter With?
With the new 2027 version, I am changing my answer from previous years. I used to say “not really.” Now, I’ll say it is easy to butter with practice for getting the board to flex right in its sweet spot right outside the contact points.
The challenge with the Resort Twin are the V-shaped carbon stringers in the nose and tail making it challenging to twist the tips in a manner that lets you constantly keep your weight uphill. So while it’s a very easy board to press, swiveling your butters around get a bit trickier.
After around the 20-day mark of riding this board, its flex starts to break in a little torsionally (or maybe you just get really used to it fighting you), and spinning your butters begins to get gets a little easier.
So Buttering can definitely still be done with the Resort Twin, I just wouldn’t say flat-ground tricks are a strong suit of this board. It’s more for carving groomers and pressing features in the park over swiveling around on flat ground.
It’s a Stable Ride Where You Still Feel Some Chatter
Capita added two v-shaped carbon boosters into the nose and tail of this board. These boosters have two primary benefits. They give the board an additional level of pop, and they add some dampening effects. While the dampening is noticed, this board feels more lively than it does damp. At higher speeds, you will notice the tips of this board start to chatter, and those vibrations are felt slightly underfoot.
You can reduce the vibrations you will feel by pairing this snowboard with a pair of bindings that offer some additional dampening properties, like the Union Ultra or Union Force.
For the updated 2027 review, I went with the Union Force bindings, and they paired really well.
For the original version of the Resort Twin I went with the Union Ultra bindings for the original version of the Resort Twin.
Either binding works well. I’d go Ultra if spending more time in the park, and the Force if you like a bit of everything.
Is the Resort Twin a Lightweight Board?
Yes, the Resort Twin is a very lightweight board. In the 154cm size I own with my Union Men’s Medium bindings, the whole set up only weighed 9.8lbs. That’s on the lower end for the size gear I ride. A heavier set up would add around 2-3lbs.
So Is The Capita SB Resort Twin a Good Snowboard?
Yes, but for the right rider. If you’re on the East Coast or the Mid West where you ride smaller resorts without a lot of snowfall each year, the Capita Spring Break Resort Twin is an outstanding deck for carving, jibbing, jumping, and cruising all over your local resort.
Where Is the Capita Resort Twin Not the Best Performer?
The Resort Twin isn’t the best deck for riding in powder or riding aggressively at extremely high speeds, as someone in the Rockies or another area out West would. So if that’s you, check out the Capita Mercury instead, as that board would be a better fit for you.

How Long I’ve Ridden The Resort Twin: I’ve ridden the Resort Twin for 60 days across three seasons and multiple released versions of this snowboard (2024 – 2026).
This board was my daily driver for one full season the year it came out, and since then, it hasn’t received any technical upgrades other than its graphic. So the notes of my review still hold up for the current versoin of the Resort Twin.
Size I Rode: For this review, I rode the 154cm Capita Spring Break Resort Twin. For sizing information, I am 5′ 6″, 142 pounds, and have a size nine boot.
Sizes Available: The 2025 Capita Spring Break Resort Twin is available in a 152, 154, 156, 158, and 160cm.

| 158 Wide | 140-200 |
| 160 | 150-210+ |
Flex: The flex is rated at a medium 5 out of 10. The Resort Twin has a playful, pressable flex that still feels in control at all times while carving.
I found the board to be slightly stiffer torsionally than longitudinally. After a few days, the board broke in, and I stopped noticing this detail, though.
Overall Rating Score: 4.6 out of 5
When Will the New 2026 / 2027 Capita SB Resort Twin Be Released?
The 2026 version of this board is out now, but the 2027 is expected to drop around the summer of 2026 between June and July this year. This is our best guess based on the release dates of the past two years and the board arriving earlier and earlier each year.
I also already rode the new version at a demo event, and here is a sneak peak of its topsheet.
What Is Different About the New Version of the Resort Twin?
The new 2027 Capita SB Resort Twin didn’t receive any technical upgrades or new features.
Here are the only new details:
- It has a new graphic.
- Last season it started to become available in three new sizes, including 152cm, 155cm Wide, and 158cm Wide.

Deciding between this and the Jones Mountain Twin for my one board to do it all. I’m smack dab in the middle of an intermediate rider. Mostly stick to blue groomers, but mess around on greens, and send it down black diamonds. I really want to try hitting the park this season, something I’ve never done.
6′ 190 lbs. Thinking of getting a ~158cm board of one of these two. Is there one board you recommend over the other here? Thanks!
Alex! Thanks for the question. I would say I love both of the boards that you’re interested in equally, and you really won’t make a wrong decision. It comes down to one main use case difference, though. Will you be using your do-it-all board also to hit powder? Or is it more intended to be your resort board on groomed terrain, and you have a different board for cruising on the deeper days? I ask because the Capita SB Resort Twin wouldn’t perform as well in powder as the Jones Mountain Twin would. The Capita floats decently to get by. However, the Jones Mountain Twin has a 3d spoon nose and a setback stance that makes its powder performance a little better than the Resort Twin. While on the other hand, I’d say the Capita SB Resort Twin is the more stable of the two options for groomed terrain. Both are really strong in the park. I tend to prefer the Capita SB Resort Twin due to it being centred stance. So, my recommendation would be to make your decision around how often you get to ride powder. It’s the groomed vs powder decision. If you’ll be on groomed terrain far more often, go with the Capita. If you get more than the occasional pow day, go with the Jones.
In terms of your sizing, you’re spot on with the 158 for the Capita Resort Twin. The Mountain Twin doesn’t have a 158 option at the moment, so I’d recommend going 160.
Good luck with your riding this season, and let me know how it goes!
Steve
I have a question regarding this board. I am looking to purchase the 2024 model. I am torn on the size I should get. I am 5’9″ 185 lbs. Everyone is sold out of the 154 and the 156 is available. Do you think that size is too big for me. I am an experienced rider who wants this as my everyday board on groomers.
Thanks
Art
Hey Art, This is one of those boards where you’ll want to get as close with Capita’s weight recommendations as you get the pop and flex Capita were intending. There are carbon boosters in the nose and tail for extra pop, and I really found those to help me with power for turning and to get an extra boost off jumps. I am considering the pop and flex of the board as they are such a strong selling feature for this deck, so I’d steer you more towards the 156. If you have a 154 now, and worry sizing up to a 156 will be too big, it won’t be a noticeable difference. The waist width and sidecut configurations are very close between the two models. Now, with all that said, Capita’s specs would really recommend that you consider the 158 based on how much you weigh.
Hi, My daily is a HK and comes out of the package with a -3 degree bevel between the bindings and -2 degree past the inserts… i slightly denuted the HK, but i can’t find any information about SBRT edges.
The SBRT edges are 90º? Do you felt the need to detuned your SBRT edges to hit the park/rails?
Thanks
Yo Mike! I slightly detuned the sections of my Capita SB Resort Twin in between my contact points and the Death Grip notch that sticks out dead center between your feet. I left the notch itself sharp. Do you absolutely need to do this? Not at all, but I felt like it wasn’t as catchy once I did. You’re exactly right that Capita’s edges are 90 degrees. Capita’s FAQ page says this about tuning -“Factory edge bevel specifications: Base Bevel 1.5° / Side Bevel 1.5° / Overall angle geometry is 90°. Note – for a ‘one file’ tuning method, use an 88.5° fixed file to tune the side bevel.”
Hey Steve,
For a mostly park board for someone that is 5″10, 160-170 lbs with size 9 boots, what size would you recommend? I live in the East Coast and my hill is small so not looking for anything super stable.
I’d go with the 156cm for the Capita Resort Twin. I rode mine in 154cm (I am 5’6″ and 144lbs) and had no issues with it feeling too stiff and not molding around features for jibbing. With this one, I’d stick close to their size charts.
