Capita Horrorscope FK
Capita Horrorscope FK

Graphics: awesome
amazing.
Pros: lightweight, Easy to carve, poppy, Great value, Soft
Other Thoughts: killer board for the right purpose. got mine in a 52 - usually ride 58-60s for all around riding, but i got it for a jibber. SUPER soft but not overly so. softer than what "soft" used to be. rides super smooth - capitas flat kick design is killer. rides a hell of a lot like a skateboard, in the sense that the solid part is between your feet, and when you pop, its quick and snappy right behind your back foot, rather than loading the whole tail like a cambered board. i really enjoyed that. also a really light board, not that i concern myself with that. i love the way it rides for more playful mellow riding.. jibbing, slushy days on groomers, little tree jibs, side hits, etc. never had so much fun doing stuff like that. awesome value too, as is the norm with capita.

Graphics: simple and clean
aaaaa
Terrain Use: Jumps
Pros: Easy to carve, poppy, Great value
Other Thoughts: i rode this as an all-around board.. 145 pounds on the 158. definitely softer than my usual boards, but doesnt ride quite as soft as it seems. holds a good edge and turns well and rides fine everywhere. super fun in pow for a twin as well. nothing beats taper and setback, but as far as twins go, a rockered board is where its at. bouncy between turns... tons of fun. rode well on the typical ak terrain here, though i definitely still prefer a stiffer board. also tons of fun on groomers and little dork around stuff. fun everywhere. i really enjoyed this board. pretty simple build.. decent core, sintered base, etc.

Graphics: awesome
ooooooooooo
Terrain Use: Speed, Powder, Carving, Backcountry, Groomers, All Mountain
Pros: lightweight, Easy to carve, poppy, Stable at high speeds
Other Thoughts: i dont know where these people get the idea this board is too stiff.. its not a stiff board at all. i was surprised k2 gave it their highest stiffness rating. pretty all around medium to me, and im not a big guy or anything, only 145 pounds on the 158. anyway.. fun board. dont let the term pow rocker throw you off, cause, its not tapered or anything and still rides switch well. its more like a directional rocker freestyle pow board that obviously is still just as good as anything else on groomers and whatnot. fast base, stable, charges pow. rocker is more extreme than most, and is also directional, meaning that the nose rocker is a bit more intense than the tail. holds a good edge. one thing i personally felt was that it rode nicer outside of going slow, so medium to faster speeds at least, but thats not to say its weird or bad when going slow. also really liked the dampening system in the core.. i could feel it over my other boards with regular wood-only cores. anyway... while this is definitely not a pow-only board by any means, its not a twin and has a 1" setback (so 2" really) and isnt quite like a twin or anything. check the turbo dream if you want a higher end rocker from k2 that is a lot closer to twin, but not a noodle like the www. 2010 opens up a lot more options for that though.
