Capita SB Resort Twin Review: A Full Season Test of its All-Mountain Versatility

What I Love About the Resort Twin

Here are the things I loved about the Capita Spring Break Resort Twin.

It’s Versatile Enough for Both Resort Carving and Park Riding

This is a board that can truly do it all well. It carves, jumps, presses, and can still hold an edge. There are few sacrifices with this board. If you are looking for one board that can do most riding very well, this is it.

It Offers a Locked-In Yet Playful Feel

A main highlight of the Capita Spring Break Resort Twin is the level of stability it offers while still being fun to ride. This board features Spring Break’s Radial Sidecut with Deathgrip technology. The technology allows the board to feel locked into turns while you’re carving, and the board’s unique flex pattern makes it still incredibly pressable for freestyle riding.

It Has an Exceptional Level of Pop

Capita gave the Resort Twin two v-shaped carbon boosters in both the nose and tail, along with two beech stringers running through the center of the board. These features work together to give the Resort Twin an extra boosted level of pop. On a scale of massive pop being rated a 5 and weak pop being rated at a 0, I’d rate the Capita Spring Break Resort Twin’s pop at a 4.4.

It’s not so much pop that it will overshoot you or be challenging to learn the timing of, either. The level of pop feels perfect to me. It has an intuitive feel with a little something more to it to help get you in the air.

It Offers More Forgiving Landings

One feature to love about the Resort Twin is that its camber profile makes landing spins easier. If you’re slightly off axis when you land, you can simply revert into place and ride away. This is because of the Resort Twin’s hybrid camber profile makes the contact points of this board feel more forgiving and less catchy when you land. Capita calls this profile their Resort V2 Profile. If you were to look at the Capita Spring Break Resort Twin from the side, its profile would look like this.

The Resort V2 profile has a traditional camber section between your feet with reverse camber sections running outside of the insert packs through the nose and tail. The benefit is that you get the power, pop, and drive of positive camber between your feet with the catch-free landings and the easier-to-carve feeling of reverse camber in the tips. This profile gives the board a very predictable, intuitive feel while still coming packed with a generous amount of pop.

It’s Lightweight and Durable

The Resort Twin Was built with a noticeably lightweight, durable wooden core called Spring Break’s Meta Core. Here is an image of what the construction of the board looks like underneath its topsheet with the three different types of wood and carbon amplifiers.

Its Eye Catching Graphics

What’s not to love about a white snowboard with a spider web on it and bright green sidewalls? This board looks so nice. I loved looking down at my snowboard and seeing this.

There is something to how you ride better when you are on a board that you think looks fresh. You get a little added level of confidence to ride harder or try tricks you may not otherwise try.  

Here is a close up of what you would see between your feet on the 2025 Resort Twin’s graphic.

Spring Break Snowboard’s Warranty

Spring Break Snowboards are a collaboration between the owner of Spring Break, Corey Smith, and Capita. Capita now manufactures the entire Spring Break collection of snowboards at the Capita Mothership manufacturing plant in Austria.

Because Capita manufacturers these boards, they offer their standard two-year warranty on all Spring Break snowboards. This warranty covers defects in material or workmanship from the date of purchase. The warranty applies to Capita and Spring Break products purchased from an authorized dealer.

The warranty covers the following:

• Topsheet, base, or sidewall delamination due to manufacturing defect
• Manufacturing defect resulting in cracking on the topsheet, base, sidewall, or edge
• Misaligned, spinning, or stripped inserts

Capita makes registering your board in their warranty database simple. When your board arrives, scan the NFC sticker on your board with your phone and fill out the registration form.

What I Didn’t Like About the Resort Twin

Here are some details about the Capita Spring Break Resort Twin I didn’t like.

It Is Not the Dampest Riding Board & It Does Chatter

This is a lively board with a ton of boardfeel to it. However, you do feel vibrations as you ride over choppy terrain at top speeds. This was never so bad that it wore my legs out or interfered with the way that I rode the board, it’s just a noticeable detail that you do feel the terrain as you ride over it.

Additionally, if you are the type of rider who only knows one speed, and that’s fast as hell, this may not be the board for you. The nose and tail are reinforced with carbon stringers, but they do still chatter as you get this board up to really high speeds. It can be enough to force you to slow down.

This board won’t chatter at the normal / casual speeds that 90% of resort riders will cruise at, though. It does perfectly fine for the resort rider who’s looking for a versatile board that does most types of riding well. I say this note about chatter just to caution that this is not a freeride or race board. It’s got a speed limit just like all of the other resort twin boards.

The Topsheet Can Chip

The Resort Twin is a board you will want to be careful with in the lift lines. The white topsheet can chip right where it meets the bright green (or yellow) sidewalls. I went to the indoor park on a crowded day, and from other riders running into me in the lift line, I got this chip.

Fortunately for me, I was able to secure this back down thanks to some Gorilla Glue gel, and now it looks like this.

That said, all snowboard topsheets will chip if someone accidentally runs their ski or snowboard’s edge into or over your topsheet. With the bright contrasting colors of this board showing chips easily, you might just want to give people a little extra room in the lift lines with this snowboard.

It Is Torsionally Stiff At First, So It Is Not the Easiest Board to Butter

While this snowboard is very easy to nose press and tail press, it isn’t as easy to butter with. The board is softer from nose to tail (longitudinally) than it is from edge to edge (torsionally). The stiffer torsional flex makes it challenging to butter because it’s harder to bend the nose towards your toes or towards your heels enough to ensure your weight is always uphill as you swivel your butters around.

The stiffer torsional flex is a characteristic of the Carbon V-tech Amplifiers that Capita and Spring Break added into this snowboard. You can see the carbon amplifiers in the gray portion of this diagram.

The carbon amplifiers offer this snowboard a ton of additional pop and response. However, they make it a little more challenging to spin with your butters.

It isn’t impossible, just harder than you would think.

The Main Benefits of This Snowboard

• It Is Very Versatile – This is a resort-focused snowboard that carves well on groomers, icy conditions, and slush. It’s also exceptional in the terrain park.
  
• Stable Feeling and Fun to Ride – This is a stable and extremely fun resort board to ride. From the moment I stepped on it, it felt in control and ready for fun. I didn’t want to get off of it. It’s stability across multiple types of riding is its highlight.
  
• Perfect 5/10 Medium Flex – It is pressable. It offers a fantastic level of pop for jumps and offers enough power to carve exceptionally well.
  
• Massive Pop – The Spring Break Resort Twin board has a hybrid camber profile, which blends the power and precision of traditional camber with the forgiving and easier-to-ride characteristics of a rocker profile. Capita also gave the Resort Twin carbon boosters to increase the level of pop you get from this board.
  
• Lightweight – This board features a wooden core with carbon features that make it noticeably lighter than other resort-focused boards.
  
• Fast Base That’s Low Maintenance  – The Resort Twin’s base is fast and durable. Additionally, you won’t need to wax it as often as some other resort-focused boards.
  
  

 Why Did I Buy the Capita Spring Break Resort Twin Snowboard?

The Resort Twin is a board that I loved enough that I decided to buy it for my collection. I did this because I wanted a versatile board that could carve as well as it hit the park. I went with the 154cm Capita SB Resort Twin because I wanted to size up a bit from my usual 151cm size.

Who Is the Capita Spring Break Resort Twin a Good Fit For?

The Capita Spring Break Resort Twin is a good fit for anyone who wants a fun and versatile all-mountain freestyle snowboard that can go anywhere and do anything. It’s the perfect do-it-all snowboard for riders who want to be able to cruise down groomed runs, hit the park, and explore all of their favorite resort.

What Experience Level Rider Should Get the Capita Spring Break Resort Twin?

The Capita Spring Break Resort Twin is best suited for intermediate to advanced riders.

Beginners can learn to ride it, too. However, it is more intended for riders who are used to or looking for the power and response of a camber-dominant resort snowboard. If you already have the fundamentals of riding down, you will enjoy this board.

What Other Riders Think About the Resort Twin

If you’ve made it this far, you’ll know I really enjoy this board. So I wanted to give you a feel for what other’s say about it, too.

Reading through the review section on Capita’s site, most riders call out how much fun they have on this board and how versatile it is to cruise the whole resort.

A lot of riders call out its unique camber profile with its positive camber underfoot and forgiving reverse camber past the bindings, and how that gives you the perfect mix of stability and pop for everything from powder to park while still being able to lock in and balance jibs.

My favorite user review comes from none other the Capita pro rider Joey Fava. Here’s what he wrote about the Resort Twin.

What’s different most from my experience, is that some riders find this board really playful and easy to butter with. I don’t agree. It presses easily. It’s the spinning with the butter that’s a bit challenging. I think if you size it down, or really break it in, it could be a decent butter board. Just don’t let that be the sole reason you get it, there are better boards to butter with. If you’re looking for a similar board that can butter easier, maybe check out the brand new Capita Dark Horse.

Overall, most other riders love how it’s great in all conditions, carving groomers, and launching off side hits.

Is the Resort Twin Worth Buying?

Yes, this board is absolutely worth buying.

The Capita Spring Break Resort Twin is a near-perfect all-mountain freestyle board that’s worth every penny. With the season only just beginning and it already selling out of some sizes, I can’t be the only one who thinks so. 

If this board sounds interesting and it is still available in your size, I’d recommend acting fast before it is gone.

Is the Resort Twin Great in Powder, Too?

I would say it is only ok in powder, and if you ride powder often, I’d recommend checking our the Spring Break Powder Twin instead as its the more directional powder-focused version of this board.

Other Comparable Snowboards to the Capita Resort Twin You Should Consider

Which bindings go well with the Spring Break Resort Twin Snowboard?

If you will ride in the park often, go with the Union Ultra Bindings.
If you want to carve more with some park runs thrown in, go with the Union Force Bindings.
