These would have made Hoth a lot more bearable. CAPiTA snowboards will be producing officially licensed Star Wars snowboards, featuring images from the classic trilogy.

Jason Brown, owner of CAPiTA and world-renowned snowboarder, described the genesis of these boards. "My partner and I through theCAPiTAprocess created the visual pieces. That is to say, situational action and reaction, rooted in common and understanding of concentrated bulbsOFchaos, allowed for these boards to be."

These snowboards are available now in three different styles. Brown's favorite? The limited edition R2-D2 with the red base.

The series of boards features 3F Core, custom CNC technology, locking freedom groove, custom weave triaxial fiberglass configuration, carbon fiber reinforcements, wet hand lamination, sintered 4000 base, sublimated base graphics, custom tip and tail protectors, full monocoque construction, and perimeter weighted glass lamination.

So, what exactly attracts snowboarders to Star Wars? Brown has an easy answer. "The same thing that attracts antiSNOWboarders."
