The CARDIFF GOAT™ is purpose-built for big-mountain riders who charge steep descents and navigate rugged terrain. With a 10-meter sidecut and 12 mm of taper, the GOAT emphasizes speed, float, and stability. Its tapered directional twin shape and extended effective edge deliver aggressive performance with freestyle-friendly DNA—ideal for riders who push boundaries and demand peak control in the most challenging environments.

Product Origin

UNITED BY SNOW™
Designed in Utah | Made in Canada
At Cardiff Snowcraft, product creation is rooted in purpose and place. Each board is proudly built in Canada using renewable energy and fast-growing wood species sourced from sawmills within 60 miles of the factory. This regional approach supports local jobs, reduces environmental impact, and reflects Cardiff’s commitment to crafting high-performance snowboards with a lighter footprint.

Core Technologies

• AMERIcore™ SL
  High-performance layup of 65% Northern White Cedar and 35% Eastern Aspen, reinforced with web-fused carbon and paired with LAUNCHpads™ for super-light strength, smooth dampening, and responsive flex. 
• GOAT HALFcamber™ 59
  A proprietary 59% camber / 41% rocker blend that balances edge control, float, and versatility. Each model features a unique camber-to-rocker ratio tailored to its terrain and riding style.
• PERFECTpivot™ - GOAT
  Tapered directional twin shape with centered HALFcamber™, extended effective edge, and balanced rocker for a stable, floaty, and playful ride—ideal for steep terrain and switch riding.

Performance Features

• RADIcAL SIDECUT™ – TAPERED DIRECTIONAL TWIN FREERIDE
  Tapered directional twin carve with 12 mm of taper and 13 blended radii for fast edge engagement, smooth turn initiation, and responsive exits. The sidecut is centered around the rider’s stance, opening toward the nose and tightening at the tail. A wider nose enhances float and stability, delivering balanced performance at speed in both switch and regular riding.
• SPEEDbumps™
  Reverse sidecut bumps aligned with bindings to enhance grip underfoot. GOAT™ features 1mm bumps on both toe and heel sides.
• NOVERhang™
  Eliminates toe drag with rider-specific board designs and binding-area measurements marked on each board.
• FLOATilla™
  Places more surface area underfoot to reduce leg fatigue and enable a neutral stance. Each board is marked with its surface area for optimal float sizing.
• BUTTERblunt™ Nose and Tail
  Shaped to increase float, reduce swing weight, and provide a smooth, stable surface for buttering.

Construction and Materials

• UNIwall™
  Seamless, impact-absorbing sidewall fused into the wood core to prevent delamination and dampen vibration—like a skateboard wheel smoothing out rough terrain.
• RACEbase™+
  High-speed, sintered black base with 15% graphite for superior wax absorption and easier maintenance.
• LAUNCHpads™
  Cross-grain wood inlays that efficiently transfer rider input from bindings to edges for enhanced response and control.
• FORGEDtail™
  Injection-molded urethane protectors integrated into the tail to absorb and deflect impact while maintaining lightweight durability.
• ENDUROedge
  2.2mm, 48 Rockwell-hardened metal edges for superior durability and precision tuning.

Factory Finish and Glide

• GROOMtune™
  Ready-to-ride ceramic finish with a precise 1° base and 1° side bevel, detuned at nose and tail for optimal control. Ensures perfect base and edge flatness.
• RACEfinish™
  Unique linear stonegrind for a fast, smooth, high-performance flat base in all conditions. Enhances wax absorption for improved glide and durability.
• FACTORYwax
  Swix Fluoro-Free General Wax provides excellent glide in all snow conditions with an environmentally responsible, fluorocarbon-free formula.
