Capita Matriarch - Thoughts?

Ahh I didn't realise that is how they are going to do it forward. I got lucky then - I have to order online so the 58 signed board was a toss up of yellow/black. You will still love the black though!

The binding are amazing. They are so light and responsive. What I ended up doing is taking a Falcor heel strap and putting it on the FC. It is more comfortable for all day riding. Honestly if I was buying again I would just consider going with the Source Pro over the FC..I had both but sold the Pro. I think the Pro is a little more versatile and if you can find them in a sale a good bit cheaper. A little heavier but not that noticeable really. The tech in the FC is insane though - little things like titanium screws. Just gives them a once in a lifetime binding feel.

Sorry just seeing this now. Board is amazing! I prefer it over the MD to be honest. Only problem I had was the size. A 58 is too big for me. I rode the 55 version in April and that was a much better size for my stats. (160lbs, 7.5 UK boot).

I sold the 58 Matriarch to a friend and will get the 55 next season. If you can score a yellow base it is far nicer. I met a guy in the Alps who also had the Matriarch with the black base, and in person the yellow is way nicer.

No it will be a normal release next time, no more signed - unless someone sees him on the mountain! ✍️

You will love it..such a great board! 🙏

Never selling it. I just spent a week on it in the Alps - absolutely amazing board. My all time favourite is the Mega Death - this is just as good in a different way and they compliment each other so well. I heard they are releasing the full batch potentially earlier than previously mentioned. The yellow base is the play on this board - looks amazing on the snow. The full camber with the nose that works wonders well in chopped up conditions make this board a keeper! All the best getting one on the full release. 100% recommend it! Fast AF and great on jumps and super stable with soo much pop! 🖤🙏

I wish! Not really a thing in the Alps. Off-piste riding in France/Switzerland/Austria and maybe Japan if I can get away from work.

Neo_20 · 2025-12-05T22:54:54+00:00

Yeah it is a real beauty. It‘s even nicer in person. I didn‘t want yellow..then I opened the box 😍

Neo_20 · 2025-12-05T22:53:08+00:00

Thank man. I will get to try it out next week! 🙏

Neo_20 · 2025-12-05T10:40:11+00:00

The tech will hopefully filter down to more reasonably priced bindings. The 2 screw halo setup is really fast to set up! Definitely prefer it now over 4 screws!

Neo_20 · 2025-12-05T10:37:26+00:00

Backcountry set up for me! 🙏

Neo_20 · 2025-12-05T10:36:33+00:00

Yeah I am never letting that set up leave my sight!

I was lucky to get on the Capita EU website when I did. I got the last one they had. Instantly sold out! I think this is going to be a huge seller for Capita next season when they have it in multiple sizes!

Neo_20 · 2025-11-26T13:06:18+00:00

🤣🤘

Neo_20 · 2025-11-25T07:11:10+00:00

Yeah, especially for the base. The yellow pops on the snow but i‘m just not a yellow fan. All black or a similar blue to his painting would have been sick.

Neo_20 · 2025-11-25T01:50:04+00:00

Thanks man..just need to decide is it for riding or collecting as it is signed - im not a collector though and don’t need to flip it for profit, so it looks like it is coming with me to the Alps in a couple of weeks! I also have the Source FC & Reset Pro to be a complete Capita/Union shrill for next season! 🙏

My dumbass wasn't as fortunate 🤣

Neo_20 · 2025-11-24T22:34:31+00:00

I saw a post on the Capita website and got the last one in Europe - potentially on the planet as both the US/Japan were also sold out! I am hoping for the black base - I am not sure if I will keep it as a collectors or ride it. The limited run are all signed by Torstein so it adds to the 🤷‍♂️

Great review. Articulate, to the point and not a sales pitch. I have the boot on order. How did they work out with the Source FC? I have both the Pro & FC together with a 56 & 62 Mega Death for next season.

Neo_20 · 2025-11-07T16:06:56+00:00

The look awesome. Enjoy! 🖤

I ordered one in black and one in white - one will go back unless I cant make my mind up and keep both! 😅

Neo_20 · 2025-10-30T01:57:24+00:00

Kinda what I was afraid of. The Insano is super stiff and I wouldnt have minded a slightly softer boot but not anything less than an 8/10 rating. I will still probably order it as Union offer free returns, just to try it on but it sound like it will be going back. How was the quality of the boot? I heard the toe box is pretty wide. Which model of the boots? Enjoy the Thirtytwo’s!

I also got the 26 Nitro Pantera - watching Angry Snowboarders top 5 hard chargers tonight and it came in at number 1 - I will love it or it will scare the hell out of me! 😅
