No. However, in 2013, Capita and Spring Break created a strategic partnership together that afforded Spring Break access to Capita’s cutting-edge manufacturing facilities to help ensure the creation of snowboards that met the highest quality standards. This partnership allows Spring Break to scale up its production and overall quality of its snowboards.
The collaboration between Spring Break and Capita still exists today. The Capita Spring Break Resort Twin is the collaboration’s first resort-focused board together.
All Spring Break snowboards are built in Austria at Capita’s Mothership facility.
More About Spring Break Snowboards
Corey Smith, the owner and founder of the Spring Break Snowboards brand, was a Capita professional snowboarder from 2004 until 2008. Since then, Corey has been contributing to the art direction of Capita’s snowboard designs. Corey is even the creative mind behind the art direction of Capita’s most popular snowboard, the Capita DOA and the new Capita Spring Break Resort Twin.
In 2010, Corey Smith originally created Spring Break Snowboards as an artistic line of handmade powder-specific snowboards. The goal of Spring Break Snowboards was to rekindle the original spirit of snowboarding—a spirit characterized by boundless creativity and sheer enjoyment.
Here is a video of Corey explaining why he started Spring Break Snowboards in his own words.
Spring Break’s snowboards quickly became popular as they were an alternative to the mundane, mass-produced boards that everyone was riding at their local resort. Spring Break became a creative canvas that riders could use to paint their individuality and distinctive style on the hill.
Steve Weber is the passionate snowboarder, skateboarder, and author behind Board of the World. He understands that most gear reviews focus on having the perfect snow conditions, but his testing methodology is different. Living in Pennsylvania, Steve describes exactly how a board performs when the conditions aren’t perfect. His reviews cover performance on ice, hardpack, and flat-out brick conditions. So Steve is the guy reviewing boards for the conditions that East Coast riders actually face.
Bringing 27 years of East Coast snowboarding and 21 years of skateboarding experience, Steve is a 43-year-old intermediate park rider. His recommendations are informed by decades of battling icy conditions, ensuring every review accounts for the board’s performance on the roughest of terrain.
For the last six years, Steve has poured his passion into writing in-depth, unbiased reviews that help riders make informed decisions about the gear they’ll use. He gets his first look at new gear each January at the EWSRA January Mart and rides the next season’s boards at the EWSRA on-snow demo in Stratton, Vermont. These events give him a direct line to learning about the new gear tech a few months in advance. He also consults on a local snowboard shop’s website and helping the team decide which gear to stock for the season. When he’s not writing reviews, Steve is often found riding at Montage Mountain and testing out new boards.
