PTO Review
We know them. Here's how they stack up.
These snowboards span 2 categories (All-Mountain Freestyle, Park). Scores reflect each snowboard's intended use — direct comparison across all dimensions may be misleading.
Mia Brookes Pro — advanced-to-expert women who ride park and freestyle - jump lines, side hits, jibs.. Disaster — park rats focused on jibs, rails, boxes, and presses.. Check the radar chart below to see where each one wins.
Each row compares all boards on one dimension. 🏆 marks the highest score.
| Dimension | Mia Brookes Pro | Disaster |
|---|---|---|
| Carving | 5🏆 | 3 |
| Park | 9 | 10🏆 |
| Playfulness | 6 | 7🏆 |
| Forgiveness | 4 | 8🏆 |
| Stability | 6🏆 | 3 |
| Powder | 2🏆 | 2🏆 |
Advanced-to-expert women who ride park and freestyle - jump lines, side hits, jibs. This is Mia Brookes's signature pro model, and the shared chassis is built around pop, so if airtime and features are the point of the day, this is where the board earns its price. Women who ride switch and want a genuine centered True Twin, and women who want camber-grade pop in a light, medium-flex twin. Riders who will actually use the sintered HyperDrive ADV base - ride fast, wax the board, and want fast, durable glide - since the base and core upgrades over the Birds are the reason to pay the premium.
Powder-first riders: this is a structural limit, not an opinion. A centered True Twin with zero taper and no setback cannot float, and the identical-geometry Birds and D.O.A. are both reviewed as poor in deep snow; the short women's lengths make it weaker still. If deep snow is your day, look at CAPiTA's women's freeride boards - The Navigator Wmn or the Artemis - and we will route you by category, not by a float promise. Beginners and first-season riders: the catalog calls it 'easy-to-ride', but the shared chassis is an advanced-freestyle platform that wants to be ridden on edge, not skidded; the reverse-camber Space Metal Fantasy is the more forgiving women's direction. Women who ride mostly hard, icy snow and want confident grip: it runs Blended Radial, not Death Grip, and CAPiTA builds no women's Death Grip board. Butter and press specialists: the stiff flat-kick tips fight the press, and the 5.5 flex is not a noodle. Value shoppers: this is CAPiTA's dearest women's freestyle board, and the premium is the build, not a bargain. Riders who never wax: the sintered base slows when it is neglected.
Park rats focused on jibs, rails, boxes, and presses. Riders progressing into park for the first time. Street-style riders. Anyone who wants a dedicated soft-flex park tool.
All-mountain riders who need one board for everything. Speed seekers. Powder riders. Advanced riders who need pop for big kickers — the Disaster is built for small-to-medium features, not boosting 40-footers.
Mia Brookes Pro is best for advanced-to-expert women who ride park and freestyle - jump lines, side hits, jibs. Disaster is best for park rats focused on jibs, rails, boxes, and presses. The right choice depends on your terrain, ability, and riding style.
CAPiTA Mia Brookes Pro has the highest Stability score in this comparison at 6/10. That score compares composure; it does not by itself mean the product is the most versatile choice.
CAPiTA Mia Brookes Pro leads Carving in this comparison with a PTO score of 5/10.
Bataleon Disaster has the highest Forgiveness score here at 8/10. Forgiveness is one factor in progression, not a claim that every beginner should choose it.
