CARDIFF CRANE™ PROcarbon Splitboard 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 | Handcrafted in our founding workshop At Cardiff Snowcraft, product creation is rooted in purpose and place. This board is built by hand, one at a time, in the workshop where Cardiff began—drawing on more than a decade of refined craft and the rare, high-performance wood species that built our reputation. It carries the MASTERcore™, our most time-tested and premium construction: proven, precise, and made to outperform. Core Technologies • MASTERcore™ PRO SplitHandcrafted for our all-carbon PROcarbon builds from 92% lightweight Paulownia and 8% Poplar, dampened with flax and vertically inlaid Titanal for elite, ultralight performance in splitboard-specific terrain. • CRANE HALFcamber™ 63A proprietary 63% camber / 37% 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™ - CRANEDirectional twin shape with centered HALFcamber™, moderate effective edge, and extended rocker for a stable yet playful ride—ideal for all-mountain versatility and switch riding.

CRANE™ features 2mm 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 TailShaped to increase float, reduce swing weight, and provide a smooth, stable surface for buttering. • SWALEtail™ (Patented)A subtle tail recurve that securely holds any climbing skin clip—regardless of brand. Integrated into every splitboard for reliable skin retention and seamless touring transitions. • biLOBA™ Tech (Patented)Small chamfers at the tip and tail prevent ski tips from catching on brush during ascents and protect against damage from tip and tail clips in ride mode. Found on most splitboards in the lineup for smoother touring and cleaner transitions. 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. • 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.
