Thanks bro, much appreciated. Have a great season!

@@joeywu4243 Hi! For 2025 they’ve upgraded to the new “Hybrid Holysheet™ Triax Glass” - basically mixes carbon and fiberglass. This makes the board a little lighter than the 2024. The base is also a slight upgrade (Hyperdrive Adv XT Base) - although the 2024 version already had a pretty sweet base - so whether you’ll tell the difference, I’m not so sure 🤷‍♂️ Hope that helps!

Hi, thanks - and glad it was helpful! Thanks for the feedback - we’re still pretty new to video production, so all constructive criticism is well received 🙏 We don’t use AI - but I see what you mean. You think something more authentic like a picture of us with the products?

@@snowboardingdays A picture or even like a tier list format would work. I usually skip all the "Top 5" videos that I see due to bots or AI. I like reviews with real people.

@@ChronicSurfer makes sense. I do the same to be honest! We’ll play around with some other options. Have a great season ✌️

@@snowboardingdays I hope your KZbin journey is prosperous with lots of powder laps.

Noted. I'm on it!

Personally, I'll be sticking with the reflex... however I'll hopefully get the chance to test the new Genesis very soon!

Hey - sorry for the delay. Busy off-season this year! This is certainly more of a hard-charging carver than the super pig - feels much more stable at speed. This likes to lay trenches and handled icy/firm conditions much better than the warpig or superpig. That being said, given your conditions I'd personally choose the super pig as it's more fun for messing around when there's crappy/slushy conditions... which sounds like is pretty often. However sounds like I'm much more freestyle leaning than you. Also depends on your quiver... would this board be one of many, or a daily driver?

@@snowboardingdays yea it's basically a daily driver because 90% of the season is spent riding at Blue Mountain. I noticed that the Peace Seeker was sold out early this year, all sizes, superpig also low on numbers but slightly more availability no worries, thanks for getting back!

Hey. Thanks! What do you normally ride for all-mountain? Unless you usually ride much longer, I'd personally go with the 158W. The effective edge is generous and probably beats 161's from most other brands. You're well within the reference range for the 158 too 👌

@@snowboardingdays I usually ride a Jamie Lynn 160W. It has been a few years since I have rode. My friend who works at a shop in Mammoth told me to go with 158wide also. Thank you for your help. I really appreciate it.

@@araucariasightings3247 no problem. Great choice. Have a great season! ✌️

@@snowboardingdays Thank you so much. One more thought I had if you have any input is on the Lib Tech TRS versus the Super DOA. That was one other board I was checking out and going back and forth between the Capita Super DOA. Thanks again. I really appreciate it.

Hi! Sorry for the delay. This was the 158cm. I normally ride 156 for all-mountain - admittedly slightly shorter than I probably should ride. I'm around 5 foot 9, 200lbs, size 10US boots. In the archetype, the 154 would be too small for me and I don't need the width of the 157W - hence 158 was the sweet spot!

Hey buddy. What size do you ride in non-volume shifted boards? Ability? Riding preferences? (and what you plan to use the board for mainly).

154

A 151 will be more nimble but wash out easier, a 154 will charge hard but be slighty harder to get on edge in tight situations. I don't think either you will boot out. They are pretty wide. But if I was you I would go for a 154. I think a 151 will be too small nand leave you wanting a lot more out of it.

@@nb522000 5 foot 9, around 200lbs. What did you go for?

No problem! Where are you headed in Japan? and what time of the season? As you probably know, most resorts have tonnes of low gradient tree lines - which I have tended to find worked better with super volume-shifted short fattys. In the lower sections of Niseko for example, I loved the Rossignol Sushi, but if you're hiking the peaks and more open sections too, the Burton Fish (or Sashimi if we're talking about Rossignol) was more versatile. If you're going in peak powder season (January-Feb) then I'd personally be pretty comfortable taking a super powder focused board like the Fish. If you're going a little later on, then the Ride PS may be better - as it'll give you more versatility on non-powder days, and is way better for carving up groomers etc. If I'm travelling for a short trip (rather than board testing), I now tend to bring an all-mountain board for groomer/park laps during periods without powder, and a super powder focused board. If I can only bring one, it would be the powder option. Ultimately I go to Japan for the powder, so I'll happily sacrifice versatility whilst waiting for those all-time powder days.

If you're looking at the Camber Custom X... that's a beast of a board! Guessing you were looking at the Flying V? The Super DOA is more similar to the Custom X FV. It's notably stiffer than the Indoor Survival or regular DOA, but not to the degree it's unmanageable. It's a weird feeling being significantly lighter but still more responsive! Really depends what version of the X you're looking at TBH. Both probably have more pop overall, but are significantly more work to access it. The Super DOA sends a pretty decent pop from pretty minimal input.

@@snowboardingdays no no I’m looking for a full camber board to replace the custom. I’m a decent boarder but I life in FL and there isn’t a good snowboard store that’s closer than 2 hrs from where I live.

@@TRIKushbeachside ah I’m with you! The Super DOA is hybrid though… which is what confused me? If you want true camber then the Custom X is a solid option. I’m not a huge fan personally - great for hard charging and carving up groomers, but way less versatile and requires a lot of finesse to take through a park lap - though is admittedly great for XL jump line and spins. I’m more of an aggressive all-mountain rider who wants the option to have a lazy mess around on side hits when I feel like it, which the Super DOA is better for. If you’re looking for a hard-charging, carving/freeride board, the Custom X is better.

@@snowboardingdays I’m not really that big of a park guy and I kind of got the indoor for the smaller park type of stuff I would do or just wanting to go do little side hits here and there etc.. really grabbed it to work on presses/butters and stuff like that. My custom is noticeably heavier than both of my Capita boards, I know the Cust X has a really light core but curious if the Super DOA is lighter? Basically the super DOA is a really poppy deck that has decent hold but the Cust X with the full camber is even snappier but a lot more work to load etc.. this is the board I’ll be using to crush groomers and launch off rollers and so on. I’m a fast rider when it comes to riding style, I’m usually going 50-60 mph when the runs are nice etc.. I do love some solid carving runs but I’d say I’m more straight line/ high speed carves in general.

@@TRIKushbeachside Yeah the custom will still be slightly heavier for sure, especially compared to the Super DOA which is crazy light. I tested it alongside a Ride Warpig and by comparison, that thing felt like a brick. You've summed it up perfectly there... the Custom X is more speed-capable and can generate more pop, but you have to work much harder for it. It sounds like that may be closer to what you're looking for? Have you ever ridden the regular DOA?

Nice! Where do you stay/ride in Japan? I'm actually a big fan of the Fish - though never tried the 3D. I've found that short/fat works best for me in Japan. The Back/Slash is certainly up there. On my first trip out there I mainly rode the Rossignol Sushi (for lower gradient treelines) and the Rossignol Sashimi (for bigger stuff). Highly recommend both, but especially the Sashimi - more versatile. From your options, the Storm Chaser would be my preference. It's a little unsteady on hard pack and heading back to the resort, but it's insane through tight trees and will handle Japan's mellow gradients well.

@@snowboardingdays I’ve done 6 trips to nagano district hakuba etc, done Hokkaido twice, most recently this 24 did Hokkaido, started niseko/furano, then saporro for a week kiroro teine etc and finished furano which we got super lucky with. Back to Hokkaido 25 but I miss Nagano already tbh

Hi there. Agreed. It's a beauty. Do you normally ride a wide board? At your boot size (about 11.5 US), I'd normally recommend mid-wide or wide boards. With a high-end board like this, you won't notice too much difference with edge to edge transitions on the wide, but you'll be able to get really low when carving without fear of booting out. You are pushing the weight range a little for both the 158 and 158W, which may affect the flex slightly, but it's a fairly stiff board so should be more than capable of handling it. TLDR: 158W :)

Yep, these days I'm edging more and more towards the "less parts = less things that can break" camp. Ultimately, my Cartels and Rome Katanas are way more reliable and I barely ride my Genesis Reflex these days. I wouldn't be surprised if it starts to be phased out of Burton's lineup. I'm yet to have a response from them about the issues with the Step On Genesis though 🤔

The Bezerker is still alive and kicking. Love that board. I agree though that the more they add to their lineup, the more overlap we’re starting to see. Particularly as the “PIG” lineup covers most areas now too. The Berzerker is obviously more traditionally shaped, more versatile and sort of a “big mountain all-mountain” vibe. The Peace Seeker is more directional, volume-shifted and leans further towards powder. I’d consider the Bezerker as a one board quiver for an aggressive all-mountain freeride rider, whereas the Peace Seeker is more of a quiver board alongside an all-mountain deck. Hope that makes sense?

It's tricky when you fall into multiple possible sizes. Personally, I'd be going for the 148 in your specs. Your weight is towards the upper limit of the 142, and you're tall enough to (probably) want the wider stance width options. I see what you mean with boot size though... Have you ridden midwide/wide boards before? What's your board length in non-shifted boards?

I had the feeling I wouldn't be the only one. Sadly mine broke at the top of a peak (after hiking for an hour to get there). I did a makeshift superglue/tape fix, which I was later informed voided the warrant 😢 Hope your buddy is enjoying the new pair and has better luck 🤞🏻

​@@snowboardingdays Yep, the speed with which Burton replied and sent the replacement was also kind of an indicator. ;-) The new bit (whole highback) is ok so far, but we shall see in a season or two how it goes. I must say, even though my System Pro by SLab are faaaar less techy, I'm quite happy with them and with the fact that I have zero issues riding with my trousers over the boots.

@@timeflex Nice. Haven't ridden those myself. Are they more like a traditional rear entry binding?

@@snowboardingdays Yep, the good-old-tested-by-time system. Same as GNU Freedom (or Psych).

Tbh they don’t affect the riding that much. I don’t ride hard or anything but I think I just used it for day without the hammock and wasn’t that much difference. Credit to Burton they did eventually fix it for me. But it’s not like a strap broke and the binding is unusable- but yeah the extra cost is not worth it. Especially as there’s always a chance you can snap it off.

Hi. In terms of weight… you’re definitely fine. I’m similar weight, but much more vertically challenged 😂 Height is a different factor. Any idea your stance width? Sounds like you’re not riding groomers very often, and no park either? If that’s the case, then I would probably look at other options. If you’re keen to stay with Ride, have you checked out the MTNPIG? The Peace Seeker is also great for pure carving/powder riding, but I think it maxes out at 155 which is less optimal.

Hey. Great points, thanks. You went with the standard Step Ons or the standard/reflex genesis? True - Supermatics may be less compatible if you’re at either extreme of the size range too. I’m lucky in that I’m bang in the middle of the range for size L - so my Burton, DC, 32 and Vans boots all fit well. If you’re towards the upper limit, you may need to size up, or try them on first as you say. Takes a little tweaking of the straps etc too when you first get them. Once you’re dialled in, they’re pretty sweet.

@snowboardingdays I got the standed step in.. The new 2025 step in binding is a new shape also...the forward lean like the cartel. The supermatic problem. It is the toe box shape. As the toe strap is in a set position. When you set up the strap, the bottom ridge on the front ... has more pressure than the Ridge on the top off the toe strap. Pushing your boot down . Which digs your boot tread into the foot bed and makes it hard to get out The video shows him straping a boot in, and the problems..on 2 boots. And 1 shaped boot that works. It just saves people buying another boot to fit those bindings And the misinformation people and the marketing machine...that any boot will fit. Search nidecker supermatic problems. Cheers

Plus, Supermatic is kind quick-entry-slow-exist system. ;-)

Good call. Did you have the same issues?

Must have been some bang! What happened? 😬 So, for 2025 they’ve upgraded to the new “Hybrid Holysheet™ Tri/Tri Glass” - basically mixes carbon and fiberglass. This makes the board a little lighter than the 2024. The base is also a slight upgrade (Hyperdrive Adv XT Base) - although the 2024 version already had a pretty sweet base - so whether you’ll tell the difference, I’m not so sure. Personally, I’d go for the newest one if you have the choice. May as well have all the latest tech and has a better resale potential (if you ever decided to let it go). Few people saying they prefer the white over the green though, so depends how big of a deal that is for you?

@@snowboardingdays Hey thanks a lot, where did you get the info? Exactly what I need! 🤩 Yeah I was run over by two skiers and as I didn't have fully healed ribs from last season, it was unfortunately a bit "unfavorable". However, the board itself had already had a defect beforehand, I was boarding in extremely icy conditions and the binding was clearly pushing through the back of the board (it was crazy deformed). That's why it was taken back, otherwise it's by far the best board I've ever had, a lovely fast board with real character❤🤣 As far as the color is concerned, the white and black really pops and is nice and classic... but to be honest I had a green one for a long time and I like the color in the snow (white is quickly invisible on the snow).

@@Wolfgarden No problem! I spoke to the CAPiTA reps at the end of the 23/24 season. Reliable source for sure! This is also how I was able to scoop the 2025 model 😉 Ah man, that sounds brutal. The skiers owe you more than just a new board! Unusual binding issue. Had you hot waxed with the bindings attached? Seen my fair share of bulges or dips from this. I had also wondered whether they've thinned out the Super DOA too much - although mine is still going strong with another 20+ days on it - including some pretty heavy bails. Good point. The green does tend to pop a little better. I like it better than black/white personally.

@@snowboardingdays Yes it was unnecessary but all recoverable 😄 Honestly no, I just mounted it by hand and started right away, but it's a very stiff binding (my old Flow NX2 AT). I'm going to get a new Union this year though, somehow the Flow just doesn't feel up to date anymore. Enjoy your board, I'll probably get the new one thanks to your info💪

@@Wolfgarden no worries. Happy riding!

✌️

Agreed. Legendary

Count it?
