The Cadet was the first board released by United Shapes back in 2014. Its status as an instant classic launched the brand on to produce more rad shapes that went on to have their own cult followings, but the Cadet remains their flagship model to this day. And there's good reason for it. The Cadet is one of those rare boards that really does do it all. It's composed and stable at high speeds, and lively and poppy at low speeds, making it a ton of fun for experts and intermediates alike. This freeride stick is nimble and precise edge to edge and more than ready to handle anything you can throw at it.
