The CARDIFF POWGODA™ is optimized for playful powder freeride, blending surf-style float with freestyle agility. With an 8-meter sidecut and 20 mm of taper, its directional shape, blunted nose, and RADIcAL SIDECUT™ geometry deliver smooth, responsive turns and confident control in tight trees, steep couloirs, and open powder fields. Purpose-built for deep snow, the POWGODA™ is a dedicated powder board with a lively edge.

Performance Features
-
RADIcAL SIDECUT™ - TAPERED DIRECTIONAL POWDER
Tapered directional powder carve with 20 mm of taper and 11 blended radii. A larger front-foot sidecut combined with a tighter rear-foot sidecut enables smooth, surf-style turns. The blunted nose and directional shape enhance float and maneuverability, delivering confident control in tight trees, steep couloirs, and open powder fields. -
SPEEDbumps™
Reverse sidecut bumps aligned with bindings to enhance grip underfoot. POWGODA™ 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. -
