Capita Mega Mercury vs Nitro Alternator x Volcom

How they compare

Both boards are designed for all mountain and freeride 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 Mega Mercury has a hybrid (rocker/camber) profile (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile), while the Nitro Alternator x Volcom uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). Both are rated 7/10 flex (stiff).
