The CARDIFF SWELL™ Splitboard 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. Each size features a different tail shape!*** Product Origin UNITED BY SNOW™Designed in Utah | Made in CanadaAt 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.
