Yeah, Capita is not good at putting out their specs. I will say that their stance options/references also keep me from riding their decks. Like who the fuck is riding a 25/26” stance? Most of their decks 160+ have 23’+ as reference with max widths up to 25/26”

The few decks they have that I’d like to try just won’t get me my stance at reference, which is a bummer.
100% agree. I was able to size up with the Kazu, because the past couple of years of this board the 154 and 151 share the same stance options (the 151 and 154 have the stance option as the previous 151). Before the 151 had narrower insert packs, and the 154 had wider.

What I noticed the last years, is that min/max stance can be based off centre on minidiscs 2x4 instead of what was usually 4x4 as standard, so min stance with a 4x4 can be 2 cm more than it says in specs.

(but I asked to Capita about the min and max stance for a couple of boards, and they replied me, so I was able to get the info)

From what I can tell, this is with an open channel 4x4 disc (under), mounted offset at the inner 2x4 inserts.

This would be 50 cm with a Burton/Now disc.

I don't think the designers are doing this for the 25" stance crowd, it gives you more options for stance locations. You can setup a 22" stance closer to the tail or nose.

Hmm, I think BSOD went from 52 cm min stance in 2023 to 50 cm in 2024.
