As much as I would love to recommend and support a local brand, Cardiff has made it difficult to do so. I purchased the Goat board last year, and after one run, the top sheet began to delaminate from the board. I did not hit anything on the run, and show no signs of damage or scratching anywhere near the delamination. I attempted to get it sorted under warranty, which resulted in short, mostly unhelpful communication from the warranty department. They would ask for a detail, and then I would not hear back for weeks. Then I would get another email about the process, followed by more radio silence. This continued for months, culminating to today, almost a year out from the original purchase with no resolution or apparent care from the warranty department.

Both have gone above and beyond for me on this with Mikey even offering to put another fresh coat of wax/check tune etc with just minutes before closing. Def didn't have to do that and very much appreciated. They offer extremely inexpensive yet hugely valuable demo time to make sure you love it before buying. The Goat solid happens to be one of the best experiences I've had on a board so far. Somehow feels super solid charging down groomers, floats very well in powder and then magically gets super nimble in the trees. Can't ask for much...
