Big-Mountain Carbon Splitboard
Cardiff Goat Pro Carbon Splitboard
The Cardiff Goat Pro Carbon Splitboard is a big-mountain split for strong riders who want a light board that still holds a line on icy sidehills and steep, fast descents. HALFcamber60 keeps camber on 60% of the running surface, and a RADIcAL sidecut tightens as weight moves back, so the board carves long turns off the front foot and comes around quickly in technical terrain. At 2,840 g per board in a 158, with a titanal-reinforced core and carbon laminates, it covers long approaches, couloirs and open faces in sizes from 156 to 166.

Why We Like It
- At 2,840 g per board in a 158 and 3,080 g in a 166, the Goat Pro Carbon is light for a board built to charge.
- Vertical titanal layers in the poplar and paulownia core add damping to the carbon, so the board stays calm on chattery, firm snow.
- Uni-directional and triaxial carbon above and below the core give a responsive, energetic flex.
- UHMWPE sidewalls glide smoothly and a dimpled ENDUROcap topsheet resists scratches from rock and ice.
Best Uses
- Couloirs and steep lines
- Icy sidehills and firm traverses
- Long approaches and big vertical days
- Open, fast faces
- Hardboot or softboot setups
Splitboard Selection Advice
The Goat Pro Carbon rides close to its length, so most riders choose their usual all-mountain size. The 156 and 158 suit lighter and mid-weight riders, and the 162 and 166 suit heavier riders and those who ride fast, open terrain.
Weight runs 2,840 g per board on the 158, 2,970 g on the 162 and 3,080 g on the 166. Skins are sold separately.

Common Questions
Who should buy the Cardiff Goat Pro Carbon Splitboard?
The Cardiff Goat Pro Carbon Splitboard suits strong riders who tour into steep, technical terrain and want a light board. It weighs 2,840 g per board at 158 cm, and HALFcamber60 with a titanal-reinforced core holds on firm snow.
What bindings and skins work with the Cardiff Goat Pro Carbon Splitboard?
The Cardiff Goat Pro Carbon Splitboard uses the standard splitboard insert pattern, so it takes splitboard-specific bindings that switch between tour and ride mode on puck or interface hardware. Standard solid-board snowboard bindings are not compatible. Skins are sold separately.
How much does the Goat Pro Carbon weigh?
Cardiff lists 2,840 g per board for the 158, 2,970 g for the 162 and 3,080 g for the 166.
What is the RADIcAL sidecut?
Cardiff blends radial and progressive sidecuts. Pressure on the front foot engages a longer radius for big, fast turns, and shifting weight back tightens the turn for technical terrain.
Why titanal in a carbon board?
Carbon is light and lively but can feel harsh on firm snow. Vertical titanal layers in the core add damping, so the board stays composed on chatter and ice.
What size Goat Pro Carbon should I ride?
Most riders choose their usual all-mountain length. Go longer for fast, open terrain and heavier weights, and shorter for tighter, technical lines.
Our Verdict
The Cardiff Goat Pro Carbon Splitboard is Cardiff's light, powerful big-mountain split. HALFcamber60 and a titanal-reinforced core hold on icy sidehills and steep descents, the RADIcAL sidecut shifts from long carves to tight turns, and carbon laminates keep it at 2,840 g per board in a 158. For strong riders chasing technical lines on long days, the Cardiff Goat Pro Carbon Splitboard is a top pick.
