Camel Bak is the originator & world leader in hands-free hydration systems. The first Camel Bak products proved to be very popular among mountain bikers & motocross riders, because it allowed them to drink without taking their hands off of the handlebars in technical terrain. The product began to cross over into other sports when scientific studies showed athletes drank more fluids & performed better when they wore a Camel Bak. Since then, athletes from an ever-growing list of sports & activities use Camel Bak hydration systems for their convenience & performance benefits. Weve taken our reservoir & made it stronger, tougher, & more reliable. As a result, were proud to announce that our Omega™ Hydro Tanium™ Reservoir is guaranteed for life. Thats right. As long as you can still hit the trail or the mountain, our reservoir will remain intact.   Product Features Hydration Capacity: 100 oz (3 L) Durable & leak proof with Lifetime Warranty Treated with Hydro Guard™ to inhibit the growth of bacteria that can cause odours, discoloration or deterioration of the reservoir & tube surface. (Does not protect user against disease-causing organisms. Always wash reservoir after use.) Extra-large opening for easy filling & cleaning Patented, proven, Big Bite™ Valve makes it easy to drink Keeps water fresh
- no plastic taste   Our Opinion If you have a back pack with hydration capability such as a Dakine Heli Pack this is one of the best bladders out there, with easy fill, & a comfortable to use bite valve.   Is This For Me? For those wanting hydration capability in their current winter sports day pack.

With so many fancy & complicated ‘ Reverse-Triple-Camber-Banana-Rocker-Profiles’ available, & each one claiming to have found the ‘sweet spot’, a common complaint often heard from real snowboarders, is that they just want a normal snowboard.  Like the one they learned on. Like the one you learned on, & like the one I learned on. Traditional camber, regular edges, ptex on the bottom, & fittings to attach a left & a right binding.  Oh & it has to be well made, stable, comfortable & responsive, & maybe some nice stripped graphics that suggest discerning taste & a lack of interest in conforming to the latest cool kid trend.   Specification: Construction: 100% Poplar wood core, Traditional camber profile, Carbon beam stringers, HMC Extruded base, dual radius sidecut Length:159cm Running Length: 124.5cm Waist

Width: 24.9 cm Sidecut Radius: 7.9m Setback: 1.5cm Flex 1-10 (10 is stiffest): 7   * Base colour may vary
- Blue on White/ White on Blue alternating bases  

Features: The  Full Poplar Wood Core is responsive & reliable, irregularities & knots will not make it passed the Capita QC team so you can rest assured that the flex is uniform & consistent along the whole board. Traditional Camber works. By placing the length of the board between your inserts under continual pressure, the board is always preloaded & ready to react to your every input. HMC (High Molecular Composition) Extruded Bases are denser, stronger & more abrasive resistant than regular extruded bases. Carbon Rods reinforce the length of the board to improve stability & responsiveness while maintaining flexibility & torsional flexibility of the board, extending the lifespan of the core in the process.   I love ‘traditional camber’ boards (I own 3).  In fact I am not a fan of the term ‘ Traditional’ as I think that there is as much place for this shape profile now, as there has ever been. I would rather think of it as ‘ Original’ camber.  Super responsive & predictable, pops like a dream (ollie over any one of the countless Lib Tech sheep posing at the side of the park smoking expensive French cigarettes & feel smug). Now I know they may require a little more input to ride in powder, & yes, there is more chance of catching an edge than on a U shaped ‘super-mega-awesome-rocker’ board, but that’s because you actually have decent edge hold.  So if you want to feel like you’re riding the mountain, not just sliding down it, get yourself back on a Normal Ass Snowboard.....

The Hybrid FK profile combines camber, flat & rocker sections. The result is a board that is stable when it’s on an edge, turns with ease & is suitable for all terrains & all abilities. With some high-end additives & an upgraded base for this season, the Birds of a Feather packs enough of a freestyle punch to satisfy the hard charging of Women’s Rider of the Year Jess Kimura. Specification: Profile: Hybrid FK Setback: 0 Flex: Medium Length CM Effective Edge MM Waist Width MM Rider Weightkg 146 1155 235 38-61 148 1171 238 43-66 150 1187 241 48-71 NOTE: BASE GRAPHIC COLOURS ARE SIZE SPECIFIC 

Features: The Hybrid FK Profile uses reverse, zero & positive camber in a true twin shape. There is positive camber in the middle (starting 5cm outside the inserts), zero camber outside of this & a small reverse camber section at the contact points. Utilising all these profiles in this way provides the pop & stability of a camber profile with the forgiveness & easy turn initiation of reverse camber. Flat Kick is the shape given to the profile of the nose & tail. Most boards have a gradual curve from the contact points to the tip/tail. Capita found that while that works well with a traditional camber profile, it does not work so well with the raised contact points of a reverse camber profile. Flat Kick essentially adds responsiveness & speed to edge-to-edge turning. Made with a single species of poplar grain the RFC Sustainable Core extends from edge to edge & tip to tail. The wood grain has no knots or finger joints either which helps ensure a completely uniform flex pattern throughout the board. In addition they have been re-forestation certified offering a sustainable alternative without sacrificing on performance. Kevlar is one of the stronge

The Black Snowboard of Death has been completely redesigned for 2013/14 with the development of the new Mountain FK profile leading the charge. The main change here from last year (Freeride FK profile) is a zero camber section replacing the reverse camber section at the tail. The result is increased edge contact through the tail of the board & greater pop. Add the new superlight Hover Core & Pre-cured Carbon Fibre Boosters & you have the ultimate all terrain weapon.  Specification: Profile: Mountain FK (Reverse, positive, zero) Running length: 1219mm Waist

Width: 25.60cm Sidecut radius: 7.90 Setback: 0.5 inches Flex (1 soft, 10 stiff): 6 (Specification based on the 159cm board) Note: Base graphic colours may vary

Features: The Mountain FK profile utilises three different profiles in one board. Reverse camber at the nose, positive camber underfoot (starting 5cm outside inserts) & zero camber in the tail. The result is tons of pop & stability on the hard pack with increased float in powder. Flat Kick is the shape given to the profile of the nose & tail. Most boards have a gradual curve from the contact points to the tip/tail. Capita found that while that works well with a traditional camber profile, it does not work so well with the raised contact points of a reverse camber profile. Flat Kick essentially adds responsiveness & speed to edge-to-edge turning. Designed specifically for The Black Snowboard of Death, the new Hover Core is a combination of FCS certified wood strips & flax fibre composite webbing. The result is an extremely light & strong core with excellent dampening qualities. In fact it is so light that it will feel like you are hovering. A large number of boards that feature rocker or flat zones in their profile add carbon to increase the pop lost by not having a full camber shape. In the BSOD capita have put 4 x 30mm Pre-Cured Carbon Fibre Boosters which run from just behind the binding insets out to the widest part of the nose & tail. These are Pre-cured into an arched shape which adds twice the ollie power & response to regular carbon additives. A Full ABS Sidewall provides optimum edge hold & pop right through to the tip & tail of the board. Sintered bases absorb the highest amount of wax which provides extended periods of high speed riding. The Wax Infused Rotation Sintered Speed Base is used on the top end of the Capita range ensuring you go faster for longer. Rather than applying resin by hand in the manufacturing process, Capita use a mechanized dispensing system to ensure a consistent application & eliminate the chance of dry spots which can lead to de-lamination. In addition they apply fibreglass to the top & bottom of the core to reduce the risk of water damage. Custom Weave increases the performance of the resin & fibreglass which allows for a decrease in the thickness of the wood core. The result is reduced weight without the loss of performance.   I have to start off by saying that this is possibly THE most fun snowboard I have ever ridden. What I was most surprised about is how well this board catered for my jibbing, buttering, carving, side-hit, switch riding tomfoolery. I have to admit that I usually sway away from directional boards except when powder riding is looking p
