The CARDIFF BONSAI™ Splitboard is purpose-built for precision freeride and the art of the turn. Designed with a 7.7–7.9 meter sidecut and 16 mm of taper, it thrives in steep lines and deep snow. Its sculpted directional shape and responsive feel deliver fluid control and powerful carving—ideal for riders seeking elegance and edge mastery in big mountain terrain.

 

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™ SL Split
    High-performance layup of 65% Northern White Cedar and 35% Eastern Aspen, reinforced with web-fused carbon for super-light strength, smooth dampening, and responsive flex. 
  • BONSAI HALFcamber™ 66
    A proprietary 66% camber / 34% 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™ - BONSAI
    Directional shape with rear-starting HALFcamber™, moderate effective edge, short tail, and wide nose for a fast, floaty, and stable ride across all terrain.

 

Performance Features

  • RADIcAL SIDECUT™ – TAPERED DIRECTIONAL CARVE
    Tapered directional carve with 16 mm of taper and 13 blended radii for smooth turn initiation, stable control, and responsive exits. The sidecut is centered around the rider’s stance, opening toward the nose and tightening at the tail.
  • SPEEDbumps™
    Reverse sidecut bumps aligned with bindings to enhance grip underfoot. BONSAI™ 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
    Designed 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.
  • ENDUROedge
    2.2mm, 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.
  • FACTORYwax
    Swix Fluoro-Free General Wax provides excellent glide in all snow conditions with an environmentally responsible, fluorocarbon-free formula.
