CARDIFF SWELL™ 154, 160, 164 Enduro Snowboard The CARDIFF SWELL™ is refined for surf-inspired riding in deep terrain. Designed with a range of sidecuts—6.5m, 7.5m, and 8.5m—and 30 mm of taper, the SWELL blends float, flow, and smooth carving with a surfy camber profile and surf-inspired nose. Its RADIcAL SIDECUT™ geometry combines a larger front-foot arc with a tighter rear-foot radius for fluid transitions and responsive turns. With three distinct sizes, the SWELL family offers a quiver of shapes for riders who chase the steep and deep with style. 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. • SWELL HALFcamber™ 60A proprietary 60% camber / 40% 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™ - SWELLDirectional shape with rear-starting HALFcamber™, moderate edge, swallow-tail, and surf-style nose for floaty, stable performance in steep terrain. Performance Features • RADIcAL SIDECUT™ – TAPERED DIRECTIONAL SURFTapered directional surf carve with 30 mm of taper and 11 blended radii. A larger front-foot sidecut combined with a tighter rear-foot sidecut enables smooth, surf-style turns. Inspired by surfboards, the SWELL family includes: • 156 – Alternative surfboard• 160 – Daily driver• 164 – Big-gun Each size is tuned for float, control, and flow in trees, couloirs, and open faces, offering surf-inspired performance across a wide range of conditions. • SPEEDbumps™Reverse sidecut bumps aligned with bindings to enhance grip underfoot. SWELL™ 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. 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.
