I haven’t had much of a chance to ride my new Powgoda yet as it’s the end of the season but the construction of this board is just a work of art. The steel edges are much thicker than your typical board, the tail has good size piece of steel on the trailing edge. It seems even the tips and tail edges have been de tuned somewhat to eliminate catchiness. Can’t wait to ride this board in powder.

Demo-ed this board and I just had to buy it. The board floats really well in powder, its super responsive. Great for tight turns in tress and carves well in groomers

Fun, surfy, floaty, agile board. Great in powder in trees and glades.

This is literally the best board I have ridden in 20+ years of snowboarding. The reason I say that, it makes the entire mountain fun, which I hope is why we all snowboard. I was skeptical at first, is this a powder board, is it some niche thing that will sit in my snowboard collection and collect dust? It is exactly the opposite. I want to ride this board everyday and everyday that I ride it, it is amazing. I can take this out on ‘Link Laps’ with my kids and then go charge hard the next day with my compadres. And best of all, this board makes each turn feel soulful and satisfying. What more can you ask for? And the same goes for the Cardiff Crew. I would buy any board from them, because the stoke they have, shines through in the products they make. Amazing board, amazing people. If you can find anything better than that, please let me know where.

Cardiff is the real McCoy. Been after it since ‘89. Over those years I’m grateful to have had opportunities to photograph and film for some great companies and magazines. I got to ride my share of snowboards. This season I bought a Powgoda Classic + Phantom Glide and can safely say it is by far the fastest, most fun, purist ride I’ve strapped into in 30+ years. All boxes are checked. Carving, pop, impossible to sink, stable to land in deep stuff, effortless and quick edge to edge riding steep terrain and tight trees, plenty damp for the shape in crud, holds a decent straight line for a tight side cut, and surprisingly manageable switch.

At 56 y/o can’t really comment on park or crazy butter flatland stuff. I’m pretty sure a park ripper could easily take some follow cam laps with ease after the mountain tracks out.

Please keep these next level rides coming Cardiff. I never want to go back.
