Snowboards comparison — 2026-2027 season
How they compare
Both boards are designed for all mountain riding. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. The Capita AERONAUT has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Capita SIDEWINDER uses hybrid (camber/rocker) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). The Capita SIDEWINDER is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. At $549.95 vs $649.95 MSRP, the Capita SIDEWINDER is the more budget-friendly option.
