The Hidden Gem for Family Fun!

Carl Schaper may be famous for his longboards, but his Butter Knife model is a standout among mini-tank designs. With its classic lines, ideal longboard rocker, and well-balanced volume, this board is a perfect fit for riders of all levels. Designed for versatility, you can ride it as a single fin for smooth, nose-riding in small waves or add side bites for a responsive feel in punchier conditions.

“We’ve had so many surfers come back thrilled after riding the board they originally bought for their kids!” ~ Carl Schaper
