Cardiff Trickshaw

The Trickshaw is a directional twin. While it features a symmetrical shape for freestyle riding and switch performance, it has a slight 15.24 mm setback that helps with float in softer snow and directional stability.

With a flex rating of 5, this board sits right in the sweet spot for versatility. It is soft enough to press on rails and butter, but stable enough to hold an edge when you are carving groomers or hitting faster terrain.

The HALFcamber65 profile is designed for riders who want the precision of traditional camber underfoot for edge control, combined with a more forgiving feel elsewhere. It is ideal for someone who wants a responsive board that doesn't feel overly aggressive or catchy.

Yes, the UNIwall urethane sidewalls are significantly more impact-resistant than standard ABS plastic. They absorb vibrations better and are much less likely to crack if you clip a rail or a rock.

The Trickshaw is very approachable for an intermediate rider looking to progress, but it might be a bit too responsive for a complete beginner. Its medium flex and balanced profile make it a great 'do-it-all' board for someone who has mastered the basics and wants to start exploring freestyle or more varied terrain.

Like any sintered base, it performs best when it is kept waxed. Because it is porous, it absorbs wax deeply, which keeps you moving fast; if you let it dry out, you will notice a significant drop in glide speed.
