PHANTOM Glide is a permanent, high-performance base treatment for skis and snowboards that increases hydrophobicity and improves glide performance across a variety of snow conditions.
PHANTOM Glide is not wax.
PHANTOM Glide differs from traditional wax because wax is not permanent. Wax is a temporary glide solution that functions only by coating the top layer of your base. After just a few runs, traditional wax wears off and glide performance diminishes.
Had this applied to a Powgoda 158 that I brought to and I could not be more pleased with the performance.
Many of the powder stash runs had long flat runouts that required either tiring hikes or some uncomfortably fast tree riding to get through. The combination of Cardiff bases and Phantom Glide treatment had me screaming through those areas without problem. Extra runs on a pow day is always the goal and this helps with that in a noticeable way.
I love this stuff, and once I got a board with it applied I went from getting stuck on the flats to beating my skier friends. It’s so easy to maintain speed!
WAXING GAME CHANGER! Especially for the PNW where the snow changes by the hour from ice to warm, wet snow. I still like to wax for the temp, but never worry if I waxed the night before or if I will need a touch up during the day.
I was thinking of cheaping out on the phantom glide application but realized I was buying a high-end snowboard and this wasn't the thing to do on the cheap. After taking it out a few times, I'm so thrilled that I had the Phantom Glide applied. Everything is buttery smooth and super fast. Highly recommend to complete the package!
Board came bone dry, absolutely no way it came with the Phantom treatment. Emailed Cardiff FOUR TIMES to see if they could do anything to make it right, and they never even bothered to respond. I asked them to at least respond, even if it was to tell me to leave them alone, and they couldn't even do that. First and last time I'll ever do business with Cardiff :(
Been great so far but it’s still fairly early to tell how it will hold up over time.
These guys are great - discussing and figuring out what's best for your style and area. Very personalized, helpful and knowledgable to the last detail. Then the customer service is second to none.
I have this added onto all 3 of my Cardiff boards! No matter if I am splitboarding, on groomers or surfing powder, I’m able to accelerate well and maintain my speed here in the PNW. I feel consistently faster than my friends. I rarely have trouble in the flat sections or cat-tracks.
Best add-on possible! I am very happy with this!
