All-Mountain Freeride | Precision • Stability • Versatility
The CARDIFF HAWK is a precision-focused all-mountain freeride board built for riders who want stability at speed without sacrificing maneuverability or playfulness.
With a 9-meter sidecut and 8 mm of taper, the HAWK sits between the CRANE and GOAT, combining a more centered, intuitive feel with directional freeride performance. Its tapered directional twin shape is quick through tight terrain, stable when opened up, and balanced enough to ride switch with confidence.
UNITED BY SNOW
Designed in Utah | Made in Canada
Every CARDIFF board begins with purpose and place. The HAWK is designed in Utah and 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 our commitment to building high-performance snowboards with a lighter footprint.
SHAPE & PROFILE
HAWK HALFcamber 61
A proprietary 61% camber / 39% rocker profile designed specifically for the HAWK. Camber provides responsive edge control and stability, while strategically placed rocker adds float, maneuverability, and a more forgiving feel in variable terrain.
PERFECTpivot — HAWK
A tapered directional twin with centered HALFcamber, extended effective edge, and moderate rocker.
Positioned between the GOAT and CRANE, the HAWK blends freeride stability with a more centered and playful feel. It's built for riders who want precision in technical terrain while maintaining the freedom to ride switch and get creative across the mountain.
RADIcAL SIDECUT
Tapered Directional Freeride Twin
The HAWK combines 8 mm of taper with 13 blended radii for fast edge engagement, fluid turn initiation, and responsive exits.
Its progressive geometry opens toward the nose and tightens toward the tail, creating quick directional changes when you need them while remaining composed and predictable at speed.
CORE TECHNOLOGIES
AMERIcore
A balanced 50% Northern White Cedar / 50% Eastern Aspen core reinforced with web-fused carbon. Paired with LAUNCHpads™, this construction delivers energetic response, impact resistance, and a consistent flex across the entire board.
SPEEDbumps
Subtle reverse-sidecut bumps positioned in line with the bindings increase grip directly underfoot. The HAWK features 1 mm SPEEDbumps™ on both the toe and heel edges for added confidence in firm and technical conditions.
NOVERhang
Rider-specific board widths help eliminate toe and heel drag. Binding-area measurements are marked directly on each board to make proper sizing easier.
FLOATilla
Optimized surface area places more float beneath the rider, reducing back-leg fatigue and allowing for a more neutral stance in deep snow. Surface area is marked on every board to help riders choose the right float for their size and riding style.
BUTTERblunt Nose & Tail
Blunted shaping increases usable surface area while reducing unnecessary swing weight, improving float while creating a smooth, stable platform for presses and butters.
CONSTRUCTION & MATERIALS
UNIwall
A seamless, impact-absorbing sidewall fused directly into the wood core. UNIwall™ helps prevent delamination while absorbing vibration and impact for a smoother, more durable ride.
RACEbase+
A high-speed sintered black base with 15% graphite for exceptional glide, wax absorption, and easy maintenance.
LAUNCHpads
Cross-grain wood inlays beneath the binding zones efficiently transfer rider input to the edges, increasing response, power, and control.
FORGEDtail
Injection-molded urethane protection integrated into the tail absorbs and deflects impact while maintaining lightweight durability.
ENDUROedge
Durable 2.2 mm, 48 Rockwell-hardened steel edges provide long-lasting performance and allow for precise tuning.
FACTORY FINISH
GROOMtune
Every HAWK arrives ready to ride with a precision ceramic finish featuring a 1° base bevel and 1° side bevel, with the nose and tail strategically detuned for predictable control.
RACEfinish
A linear stonegrind creates a fast, smooth base structure designed to perform across changing snow conditions while improving wax absorption and glide.
FACTORYwax
Finished with Swix Fluoro-Free General Wax for excellent all-condition glide without fluorocarbons.
THE HAWK IN ONE LINE
A precision all-mountain freeride board that bridges the gap between the CRANE and GOAT, delivering stability when you want to charge with the maneuverability, float, and switch-friendly feel to ride the entire mountain.
