The CARDIFF CRANE™ Splitboard is the most versatile all-mountain model in the Cardiff lineup, built for speed, tricks, and maneuverability. With an 8-meter sidecut and 4 mm of taper, it delivers quick edge engagement and dynamic response across groomers, powder stashes, and technical terrain. Its directional twin shape, centered camber, and extended rocker make it ideal for riders who prioritize agility, flow, and playful control—whether carving hard or riding switch. Product Origin UNITED BY SNOW™Designed in Utah | Made in CanadaAt Cardiff Snowcraft, product creation is rooted in purpose and place. Proudly made in North America, each board is built in Canada using renewable energy and locally sourced, fast-growing wood species 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.
