The revolutionary Ground Control is aimed unashamedly at riders who are looking for a boot that will deliver the ultimate in response, control & high-speed performance. Its no-compromise Hybrid design has been created to work in harmony with the new generation of high-performance carving boards to deliver a level of performance that stands head & shoulders above what even the stiffest soft boot can provide. The hard lower part of the shell creates a direct link to the board via a traditional alpine plate binding. This combination gives lightning fast energy transfer & means that you can drive the edges in a way that’s just not possible with a soft boot. However, what makes the Ground Control so unique is the soft boot upper, although super stiff compared to normal soft boots, this traditional Dual Boa Closure gives the perfect balance of game-changing performance but with a more rider friendly feel compared to a more traditional hard boot. So, if you’re serious about your carving, the Ground Control will make you completely rethink what’s possible on a snowboard, don’t compromise just get a pair of these on your feet & you just won’t look back. Flex Rating: 10 Fit Profile: The Ground Control features what can only be described as a snug fit. Don’t confuse this for tight & cramped because that’s just not what it is. This boot is designed for ultimate power transfer, so the liner is created to hold your foot securely. This fit is different from a traditional soft boot, so it’s a case of being prepared for it when you try them on. Once the boot shapes to your feet after a couple of hours, you won’t even notice that secure fit.

Ground Control Specification: Hard Lower Taken from hard Alpine Boots, the plastic lower has been designed to create the ultimate interface with the board. Clipping in is via a plate binding, this low distortion lower segment delivers a level of power transfer that you just can't get with a traditional soft boot. Hybrid Upper The responsive Hybrid Upper takes its inspiration from Deeluxe’s Pro models to deliver the perfect balance of rock-solid performance but with a more progressive forward flex than you would get with a hard boot. Don’t think the Ground Control is as simple as a stiff lower & soft upper. This is still a very stiff aggressive boot that has been built for performance. It’s just more versatile & rider-friendly that a hard boot. Dual Zone Coiler Boa Closure The tongue mounted H3+ Coiler is the top closure point for the boot. Geared at a ratio of 4:1, it tightens the top half of the boot quickly & effortlessly. To tension the bottom half of the boot, Deeluxe use a secondary H3+ Coiler to let you dial in the perfect tightness. This Dual Zone system gives you complete independence of the top & bottom halves of the boot, allowing you to almost instantly dial in the perfect fit & flex for whatever terrain you want to ride. Top Power Strap To ensure that the upper delivers the ultimate in response, it features an external power strap. When tightened this pulls the outer & the liner together, ensuring that these two separate elements work in total harmony to deliver lightning fast power transfer. Custom Fit Liner The Custom Fit Liner means that you can get the perfect fit. The built-in J Bars lock your heel down whilst the built-in power strap ensures that any play in the top of the liner is reduced to a minimum ensuring that all movement is transferred to the board.

Product Description

Capita launched the DOA last season & it very quickly established itself as one of the go to all terrain freestyle boards of the year, earning itself a Transworld Good Wood award in the process. With so many accolades circulating about this board it's no wonder it became one of Capita's best selling models; that & the fact that such a versatile board can also deliver top end freestyle performance.

Well, not ones to sit back, Capita have tweaked the new DOA taking the new model to a whole new level. Built around a true twin shape it uses Capita's advanced Hybrid FK profile. This complex shape combines camber, zero camber & reverse camber to create a board that delivers the carving response of a camber with the predictability of a flat board & the loose hook free nature of a rocker. It's this ability to blend all aspects of snowboarding that has made the DOA such an outstanding board.

Internally Capita have really pushed out the boat; the advanced sustainable RFC poplar wood core delivers a smooth & progressive flex ideal for the characteristics of an all terrain board. This is then perfectly matched with the Special Blend Evo Tech structural layers, a friendly bi-ax glass that uses state of the art polymer resins mixed with special structural additives to deliver a slightly softer freestyle flex. To this Capita add carbon fibre stringers running the length of the board giving additional pop through the length for higher ollies & more power through the turn.
