Who’s the Butter Knife HDT 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.
NSP’s HDT surfboard construction is a marvel of modern technology, using an innovative vacuum epoxy lamination process. The HDT layups have moulded foam cores to ensure precision.
The result is an epoxy outer shell that’s not only incredibly strong but also remarkably lightweight, ensuring effortless manoeuvrability on the waves.

Shapers Union
Shaper’s Union
The Butter Knife is a Shaper’s Union creation, a collaboration between NSP and world-class shapers like Carl Schaper. Established to bring new energy and high-performance to the surf line-up, Shapers Union is NSP’s way to showcase the incredible skill and talent of some of the most accomplished shapers in the world.
Carl’s philosophy
“Keep it simple, stay neutral and make sure the boards are fast. Get the right board for the right guy for the right conditions.”
Residing on the island of Oahu, Carl Schaper operates from the legendary Sugar Mill, creating longboard shapes, guns and mini mals for surfing royalty from Hawaii and beyond. His knowledge of shaping and construction is an essential part of the Shaper’s Union DNA.
HDT Construction
Butter Knife HDT construction diagram
NSP’s High Definition Technology (HDT) construction redefines the boundaries of surfboard manufacturing. It is now possible to have a board that is incredibly tough, lightweight and high-performance at an affordable price.
Created specifically for the Shapers Union range, HDT pairs high-performance designs with precision moulding technology, ensuring accurate reproduction and dynamic flex characteristics. HDT uses a model-specific, fully fused and water-resistant SecureCell EPS Core, military-grade fibreglass and foaming epoxy resin. Moulded in NSP’s high-tech vacuum moulds, this reduces waste and environmental impact of a traditionally produced surfboard by 30%.
HDT also creates an exceptionally durable shell that offers unmatched strength and lightweight performance, with 50% higher breakage strength at a lower weight than similar boards built in PU.
Implemented at the request of some of the world’s best board builders in the Shapers Union, NSP HDT construction provides consistent performance and durability session after session, elevating the surfing experience with premium materials and innovative technology.
