Cadet Directional Camber Snowboard

About the United Shapes Cadet

The Cadet from United Shapes is a true New Age Classic – designed for the intermediate to advanced modern rider who appreciates a tasteful nostalgic nod to the ‘Golden Era’ of 90’s freeride snowboarding.

Yes, the Cadet is a FreeRide board at its core but don’t be fooled, this board is no stranger to airtime, it loves landing switch and spinning laps through the park thanks to its energetic kicktail and subtle 5mm taper.

With a gimmick-free, tried and tested positive 6mm camber profile, the Cadet brings all the energy to the mountain with its lively personality – maximising your shredding potential with style, stability and ease.

This board will be just as happy surfing through open powder fields as it will be snapping in and out of deep heel edge carves on perfect corduroy in resort thanks to the powerful carbon X stringers running through the belly of the board.

Consciously constructed with bio-based resins for that slick, timeless top sheet design, recycled materials forming the sintered base and sustainably sourced FSC-certified wood for the core, United Shapes are making waves by investing deeper into sustainable manufacturing.

The Cadet (like the entire quiver) speaks to the soul of FreeRiding with the love language being ‘turns’. United Shapes believe that the way we move through the mountains truly shapes us and our connection to nature, which is why their focus is to give snowboarders the tools to explore the art of the turn. Sporting a 7m side cut, the Cadet will have you laying down the dreamiest turns on any terrain you find yourself on.

Finally, the tasty blend of a medium/stiff flex pattern with increased pop strategically placed in the tail, paired with United Shape’s ‘Deep Days Inserts’ means just one thing – iconic powder face shots for days as you surf through the white stuff.

If you’re looking for perfect harmony between FreeRide and FreeStyle, a board to be your daily driver in resort and your pow rocket in the backcountry then the United Shapes Cadet is exactly what you’ve been searching for.
