Capita The Matriarch Wide 2027 – All Mountain Snowboard

The Capita Matriarch Wide is a directional all-mountain snowboard designed for progressive riders who want to move fluidly between the park, resort groomers, and open backcountry terrain. Conceived alongside pro rider Torstein Horgmo, it bridges freestyle roots with freeride ambitions in a single capable platform.

Built around the ALPINE V4 Profile—a directional camber shape with elevated mid-section camber and low, smooth tip and tail heights—the Matriarch Wide delivers snappy edge response without sacrificing powder float. The new Transcend Core™ is an ultra-lightweight wood core reinforced with full-length Bamboo Power Beams for powerful, lively rebound. FAIRMAT™ Carbon Amplifiers, made from recycled aerospace-grade carbon, add responsive stiffness and reduce weight sustainably. The layup uses HYBRID SUPERCARBON™ HOLYSHEET™, a fiberglass weave with integrated carbon additives for refined precision and a lighter feel. Underfoot, the sintered HYPERDRIVE™ base is formulated for exceptional speed and durability across all snow conditions. Flex rating: 7/10.

Who It's For

The Matriarch Wide suits intermediate to advanced riders who split their days between park laps and powder fields and don't want to compromise on either. The wider platform adds float in deep snow and stability at speed, making it a strong match for riders with larger boot sizes or anyone who prefers a more forgiving edge feel. If you've been eyeing a quiver-of-one board that can hold its own from your home hill to a Natural Selection™ start gate, this is a serious contender.

FAQ

• Is this board better suited for park or backcountry? Neither exclusively—the directional camber and freestyle-influenced flex make it genuinely capable in both settings, which is the core of its design intent.
• Does the wide version affect performance for average boot sizes? The wide profile is optimized for larger boot sizes to prevent drag; riders with average or smaller feet may prefer the standard-width Matriarch for a more precise edge feel.
