CARDIFF POWGODA™ Enduro Splitboard The CARDIFF POWGODA™ Splitboard is optimized for playful powder freeride, blending surf-style float with freestyle agility. Designed with an 8-meter sidecut and 20 mm of taper, its directional shape, blunted nose, and RADIcAL SIDECUT™ geometry deliver smooth, responsive turns and confident control in tight trees, steep couloirs, and open powder fields. Purpose-built for deep snow, the POWGODA™ is a dedicated powder board with a lively edge. 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. Core Technologies • AMERIcore™ SplitBalanced layup of 50% Northern White Cedar and 50% Eastern Aspen, reinforced with web-fused carbon for lightweight strength, responsive flex, and all-mountain durability in splitboard-specific terrain. • POWGODA HALFcamber™ 50A proprietary 50% camber / 50% 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™ - POWGODADirectional shape with rear-starting HALFcamber™, reduced effective edge, kicked half-moon tail, and large nose for unsinkable float and a surfy, playful ride. Performance Features • RADIcAL SIDECUT™ - TAPERED DIRECTIONAL POWDERTapered directional powder carve with 20 mm of taper and 11 blended radii. A larger front-foot sidecut combined with a tighter rear-foot sidecut enables smooth, surf-style turns. The blunted nose and directional shape enhance float and maneuverability, delivering confident control in tight trees, steep couloirs, and open powder fields. • SPEEDbumps™Reverse sidecut bumps aligned with bindings to enhance grip underfoot. POWGODA™ 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 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. • 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.
