What to know before you choose it.
CSE Butter Knife is a Carl Schaper creation.
Carl Schaper is best known for his longboards, but his Butter Knife is second to none when it comes to his mini-tank designs.
“We have had so many guys come back so stoked on riding the board they originally bought for their daughter!” ~ Carl Schaper
CSE Butter Knife Design
The CSE Butter Knife with its classic outlines, perfect performance longboard rockers, and well-thought-out volumes is a winner. Suitable for all abilities, surfers get to ride these as single fins in smaller conditions and discover their nose riding potential. And when it gets a bit punchier, you can just slip in the side bites and have a perfect riding board for just about all conditions. As a thruster, a Butter Knife is balanced and predictable. Pop in a quad set up and use a bucketload of speed and increased bite to your advantage.
Who’s the CSE Butter Knife for
Riders looking for a mini-mal with a deeper performance envelope are well-advised to check out the Butter Knife. With its classic outlines, perfect performance longboard rockers and thought-out volumes, the Butter Knife is a shape for riders of all abilities looking for a mid-length that works and performs on smaller days.
