The Cardiff Goat is a hard-charging, big-mountain board with freestyle roots, designed to traverse and descend the most rugged terrain.

Shape and Camber
FLOATilla: shorter length but more float
HALFcamber
The patent-pending Cardiff HALFcamber places camber where it is absolutely necessary and gradual rocker everywhere else. The result is maximum glide, maneuverability and edge control.

PIVOT 2.0 is two points of base contact. One under or in front of your front foot and on behind the back foot. The location of that contact relative to your foot position makes the board nimble and stable.
PIVOT 3.0 is three points of base contact. The first and second are the same as 2.0 but the third is between the feet. It goes relatively unnoticed until you are in softer snow and it creates a central pivot between your legs. It makes it easier for a longer effective edge to be more nimble.
ENDURO BUILD: Intermediate to Expert
The perfect balance of performance, durability, weight, and dampness. Vertically laminated carbon fiber is painstakingly laid up with thin alternating layers of poplar and paulownia. Poplar for snap and pop. Paulownia for dampness and lightweight. Carbon fiber for camber retention. On the solids, we use cross-directional launch pads in the binding area to transfer rider forces more efficiently to the edges. Triaxial fiberglass for a damp and durable torsional and longitudinal pop. Fully wrapped Uni-wall for durability and dampness. For glide, we use one of the fastest bases on the market, our sintered race base graphite for speed and durability. On the solids, we finish with a water-based lacquer for gorgeous graphics. On the splits we use scratch-resistant, ice shedding top sheets.
