Where snowboards of the future are born...

Think water can make snowboards? Well, Capita has built one of the most innovative, environmentally-friendly factories not just in snowboarding, but in the world. The video below shows how they take water from a river in Austria, use it to heat and cool their building and run the snowboard presses, then return it to the river without doing any harm. The MOTHERSHIP is 100% Hydro Powered! The science is ridiculous, and I think every physics teacher needs to use this to get kids stoked on learning!

On top of that they use water-based inks, plant-based resins to hold the boards together, and finishes with no solvents to gunk up your lungs with toxic chemicals! This is a perfect example of taking a product normally made using traditional sources of energy and crazy chemicals that's now manufactured with free energy from the earth and pieced together with materials from nature. And this is all without sacrificing performance or affordability.

​Please support their mission by buying your next board through either their website or through your favorite online retailers by clicking on the following links:
