CARDIFF HAWK™ Enduro Snowboard
The CARDIFF HAWK™ is engineered to excel at precision freeride, delivering a balanced blend of speed and float. With a 9-meter sidecut and 8 mm of taper, the HAWK features a tapered directional twin shape and progressive geometry that expands toward the nose and tightens at the tail. It’s the go-to board for riders who want to soar with control, carve with finesse, and adapt confidently to varied 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™
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.
• HAWK HALFcamber™ 61
A proprietary 61% camber / 39% 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™ - HAWK
Directional twin shape with centered HALFcamber™, extended effective edge, and moderate rocker for a confident, agile ride. Positioned between the GOAT and CRANE, the HAWK offers a blend of stability and playfulness—ideal for riders who want precision in technical terrain with the freedom to ride switch and explore the whole mountain.
Performance Features
• RADIcAL SIDECUT™ - TAPERED DIRECTIONAL FREERIDE TWIN
Tapered directional freeride twin carve with 8 mm of taper and 13 blended radii for fast edge engagement, fluid turns, and snappy exits in both regular and switch. The progressive sidecut expands toward the nose and tightens at the tail, enabling swift directional changes and stable flight across varied terrain.
• SPEEDbumps™
Reverse sidecut bumps aligned with bindings to enhance grip underfoot. HAWK™ 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 Tail
Shaped 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.
• 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.
