INDOOR SURVIVAL
CAPiTA Indoor Survival – In-Depth Buyer’s Guide
The CAPiTA Indoor Survival is a cult-favorite among riders who live for park laps, urban missions, and side hits – but still want something that holds up when blasting around the resort. It’s playful, poppy, and ultra-versatile with a freestyle-first attitude.
For 2025, the Indoor Survival gets a refreshed look and updated construction that makes it lighter and snappier while staying true to its roots as a true twin, camber-dominant shred machine. It’s ideal for riders who spend most of their time in the park or treating the whole mountain like one.
🏂 What It Feels Like to Ride
The Indoor Survival feels light, poppy, and super responsive underfoot. It’s the kind of board that encourages you to get creative – whether it’s pressing a box, hitting a side hit, or slashing a banked turn.
Thanks to its Resort V1 camber profile, you get the pop and control of traditional camber between the feet, with just enough rocker at the tips to keep it playful and catch-free. On jumps, it feels solid and snappy. On rails, it presses smoothly without feeling dead or washy.
It’s surprisingly capable on groomers too – while it’s not a carving monster, it holds an edge well enough for fast laps and turns when you’re not lapping the park.
🎯 Who It’s For
- Park rats and freestyle-focused riders who love rails, jumps, and creative riding.
- Riders who want a true twin board with solid pop and response.
- Intermediate to advanced riders looking for a reliable freestyle deck that can double as an all-mountain daily driver.
- Urban riders and anyone who values a lighter, more maneuverable board.
❌ Who It’s Not For
- Beginners – it’s not harsh, but the camber profile is better suited to those with board control.
- Riders who want max float in powder – this isn’t your deep snow weapon.
- Carving-focused riders who want a stiff, directional board.
⚙️ Technology & Construction
The 2025 Indoor Survival gets some meaningful upgrades while keeping things snappy and strong:
- Meta Core™ – Lightweight poplar blended with Paulownia for a lighter, poppier ride.
- Carbon Aramid Struts – Added strength and energy transfer without sacrificing pressability.
- Special Blend Fiberglass + Magic Bean™ Resin – Eco-friendly and tuned for long-lasting flex and durability.
- Quantum Drive™ Base – Sintered for serious speed, wax retention, and low-maintenance glide.
- Resort V1 Profile – Traditional camber underfoot with flat-to-rocker tips for balanced power and forgiveness.
It’s built to last, designed to charge, and light enough to tweak in the air or press on rails.
🎨 Graphics & Visuals
The 2025 Indoor Survival graphics take a bold, edgy approach – think street-style meets techy-futuristic. It’s a clean, punchy design with sharp contrasts and graphic details that stand out without being too loud.
The topsheet is sleek and textured with just the right amount of flair, while the base graphics pop with high-vis style. Like most CAPiTA boards, it looks fast even when it’s standing still.
🧭 Shape & Profile
- Shape: True Twin – Perfect for park, rails, and switch riding.
- Profile: Resort V1 – Camber between the feet with flat and rocker outside the inserts.
- Flex: Medium (5/10) – Just enough stiffness to pop and land, soft enough to tweak and play.
This setup makes it perfect for technical park riders who still want confidence on all-mountain terrain.
