Cardinal Surfboards becomes official sponsor of Hardcore Session

Cardinal Surfboards announces its commitment as official sponsor of the Hardcore Session, a radical surfing event organized by the Shapers Club. This collaboration is in line with Cardinal's DNA: performance, high standards and uncompromising surf culture.

A natural partnership between performance and commitment

Hardcore Sessions bring together a committed surfing scene focused on performance, style and intensity. Cardinal Surfboards shares this vision of surfing: boards designed to be surfed hard, in real conditions, by committed surfers.

By becoming an official sponsor, Cardinal is affirming its place alongside an event that defends :

  • unfiltered practice
  • a technical approach to shaping
  • a surf culture rooted in reality

Cardinal Surfboards, a brand built for committed surfing

Born from the workshop and the field, Cardinal Surfboards develops boards geared to pure performance. Each model is designed to meet precise requirements: speed, grip, recovery, control.

This partnership with Hardcore Session allows the brand to test its boards against what really counts: use, intensity, uncompromising surfing.

Hardcore Sessions, a special event on the surfing scene

The Hardcore Session is not a classic competition. It's a special format, designed as a moment of raw surfing, where commitment takes precedence over results, and organized by the Shapers Club.
