CARDIFF BONSAI™ Enduro Snowboard The CARDIFF BONSAI™ is engineered for precision freeride and the art of the turn. With a 7.7–7.9 meter sidecut and 16 mm of taper, it excels in steep terrain and deep snow. Its sculpted directional shape and responsive feel offer fluid control and powerful carving—ideal for riders seeking elegance and edge mastery in big mountain 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™Balanced layup of 50% Northern White Cedar and 50% Eastern Aspen, reinforced with web-fused carbon and paired with LAUNCHpads™ for energetic response, solid impact resistance, and consistent flex across freestyle and all-mountain terrain. • BONSAI HALFcamber™ 66A proprietary 66% camber / 34% rocker blend that balances edge control, float, and versatility. Each model is tuned to its terrain and riding style. • PERFECTpivot™ - BONSAIDirectional shape with rear-starting HALFcamber™, moderate effective edge, short tail, and wide nose for a fast, floaty, and stable ride. Performance Features • RADIcAL SIDECUT™ – TAPERED DIRECTIONAL CARVETapered directional carve with 16 mm of taper and 13 blended radii for smooth turn initiation, stable control, and responsive exits. The sidecut is centered around the rider’s stance, opening toward the nose and tightening at the tail. • SPEEDbumps™Reverse sidecut bumps aligned with bindings to enhance grip underfoot. BONSAI™ 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™ NoseDesigned 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 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. • ENDUROedge2.2mm, 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. • FACTORYwaxSwix Fluoro-Free General Wax provides excellent glide in all snow conditions with an environmentally responsible, fluorocarbon-free formula.
