Uncompromised - New Age Freeride
The original, flagship, directional shape. Freeride-Nature, Freestyle-Soul. Nine years of refinement have led United Shapes to confidently say a snowboard can be simple and still be great. The Cadet is a premier, new-age classic inspired by snowboarding’s past, elevated for the future. Designed for riders who approach all aspects of the mountain with an open mind and those who seek harmony between Freeride and Freestyle.
Riding Style
The Cadet combines the advantages of a freeride snowboard with those of a freestyle snowboard. Deep runs in powder and kicking in open terrain - everything is possible with the Cadet.
Shape
Thanks to the longer nose, the directional shape provides float in powder, stability and control at high speeds and pop. Taper means a narrower tail than the nose and offers smooth turn initiation, speed stability and more float in deep snow. The increased volume at the front allows for effortless turns in deep and soft snow and significantly increases float.
Profile
The traditional camber profile consists of a single positive camber from nose to tail. This profile offers high stability, reasonable edge control and a lot of pop. However, camber boards tend to tilt more quickly than other profiles.

Snowboards are usually delivered ready-to-ride with a waxed base and sharpened edges. However, this so-called factory-tuning is not very durable and your new snowboard should be properly waxed after a few days and maintained on a regular basis.
