The White Knight was born from a collaboration between Jack Knight and long-time friend and lifelong surfer Mark Atkinson. It was originally designed as a mid-length for surfers who still wanted to surf with performance, but appreciated the extra paddle power, glide and forgiveness that comes with a little more length and volume.
The outline is based around a balanced double-ender plan shape, carrying width and volume evenly from nose to tail. Rather than being a front-footed cruiser, it's designed to be surfed from the tail. It paddles easily, feels stable under your feet and still responds when you step back and put it on rail. At the same time, it can just as comfortably be surfed from the middle of the board, drawing smooth, flowing lines when a more relaxed approach is called for.
Inspired by the performance shapes of the '70s and early '80s, it takes the feel of those boards and adapts it into a versatile mid-length. A flatter entry rocker helps it paddle and glide into waves with ease, while the added tail rocker works with the wider slot channel to loosen the tail and keep the board responsive through turns.
The White Knight was designed around the 7'0" to 7'6" range, where the balance of paddle power, glide and tail-driven performance really comes together. However, it's also an adaptable design that can be built much shorter or longer to suit the individual surfer if required.
In keeping with the original concept, every White Knight is finished in full white pigment with a pin-line colour of your choice.
Tail: Rounded square tail for a balance of drive, hold and manoeuvrability.
Foil: Full foil carried through the nose and tail for paddle power, stability and a smooth, balanced feel.
Rails: Medium rails with a refined tail edge for sensitivity and control.
Bottom Contour: Single to double concave with Jack's signature wider slot channel.
Rocker: Flatter entry rocker for effortless paddling and glide, blending into a more pronounced tail rocker for responsiveness.
Fin Setup: Available as a Single Fin, 2+1, Thruster, Quad or 5 Fin, depending on how you want the board to surf.
Best for: Waist-high to overhead waves.
Ideal for:
Intermediate to advanced surfers.
Surfers looking for extra paddle power without sacrificing performance.
Surfers who enjoy a board that can be surfed from the middle or driven from the tail.
Anyone chasing the glide of a mid-length with a more responsive, performance-oriented feel.

7'5" × 22 1/2" × 3 1/8"
Nose Width: 15 7/8"
Tail Width: 15 3/4"
Tail: Rounded Square
Foil: Full foil carried through the nose and tail.
