Have their been any changes since the 2010 model to this board or is it relatively the same?

Ultra is a rad and fun board. I ride it and love it no matter what I’m doing. That being said my wife and other friends have the indoor. They absolutely love that board. So I think you have two really good choices and you’re not going to lose either way. The easy part now is which size fits you best. Find that out and you’ve found your board.

Hi, I’m about to buy a new Capita board. I’m 150 pounds, 5’10 and 10.5 boot size. I can’t decide between the 2012 indoor survival fk or the 2012 ultrafear fk. I can get the ultra in 153cm (waist 254mm) or the indoor in 152 (waist 243mm) or 154 (waist 248mm). I personally want the indoor, but i’m afraid it will be to small for my 10.5 thirtytwo boots and if not, maybe too flexy for high speeds. I want a board that’s easy to press and butter and decent for the whole mountain and pow. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Weight is a got indicator but also Boots size for waist size too.
After is about condition of riding, style and personal preference… I am around 170lbs but usually ride 158 to 162 (255 mm or less waist with boots 9US) I like to charge fast that is why maybe is longer… currently having 160cm with a waist of 254mm but I may try the 157cm Banana Magic which will be on of the smallest size for me

John Doe, because I’ve been riding 17 seasons and I’m not a tiny girl. I’ve got curves and the weight to back up riding those sizes plus the experience. My board sizes are 153cm for park, 156-158 for all mountain and 161 for pow. So yep I do weight more than you 🙂

Shay,

Question: Why do you demo such big boards for a girl? Almost all your demo’s are from a 154-156…and I ride that size at 180lbs. Im sure you’re not 180 lbs haha
What is the average size you ride for YOUR board?

Dan,

Yeah wondering if that’s your first time riding FK or switching from camber? I didn’t ride the 10-11 Indoor so can’t compare last year’s to next year’s.

same for me. I live in quebec, and it felt really sketchy to me too. (GM 56 FK). Maybe its because fo the snow here..lots of ice and really hard snow. The conditions are always changing here. Rain, snow and in the afternoon ice…..but maybe you are right LED. Maybe i’m hanging out in the backseat and don’t realize it.

Dan ,
You felt it in the back and only flat basing? Is this your first fk? Snowboards want to turn, ride flat for any amount of time and flat based and any board will hook a bit. Your body position could be affecting this too. Maybe your hanging out in the backseat and don’t realize it? FK ,from what I’ve noticed, wants me to ride centered a bit more. Close to equal on both feet. You don’t have that reinforcement you get with camber where you can lay back if you want too, so you have to switch it up a little. If you do that with an FK you certainly won’t feel stable at all.
That being said I do have a friend who gets to try these out every year and he has said that this coming seasons board is supposed to be the best in quite awhile. He really is stoked on it.
