Das Carving Knife ist ideal für alle, die sich nach dem Surfen von steilen Faces und langen Walls am Meer sehnen. Designed für maximale “speed-control” und druckvolles Surfen am Rail. Hervorragend für cleane carves, tiefe bottom turns, cutbacks und snaps - fast wie am Meer! Besonders am Carving Knife ist das Round Tail mit starkem Exit-Rocker, das dem Board eine ausgewogene Balance zwischen hold und looseness verleiht. Performance orientierte, dünne Rails komplementieren das Design.
The Carving Knife is ideal for those who long for surfing steep faces and long walls in the ocean. Designed for maximum "speed-control" and powerful rail surfing. Excellent for clean carves, deep bottom turns, cutbacks, and snaps!
What makes the Carving Knife special is the round tail with a strong exit rocker, giving the board a balanced mix of hold and looseness. Performance-oriented, thin rails complement the design.
What Mo Schreiber has to say about the Carving Knife can be found here!
The Carving Knife feels right at home in the strongest rapid waves and should be ridden 1-2 inches longer than your allround shortboard for the river. Due to its excellent speed-control properties, the Carving Knife is our board of choice for waves like Iriesurf, RheinRiff, or Wellenwerk.
We ride the Carving Knife with a larger center fin than our other shapes. The strong waves easily handle the extra drag, and the larger fin provides more control during long, drawn-out carves. Whether you ride a "real" thruster setup or choose a slightly smaller center fin is a matter of personal preference. However, we would definitely recommend riding the Carving Knife with high-quality, stiffer fins! For more information on this topic, check out our detailed fin guide for river surfing.
