New Pics with White Knight

Saturday the 19th of December another test session went down. The new White Knight comes with a 6 fin set up. The only surfboard that comes with that many fin boxes to experiment with different fin set ups. Toby Ogden was the test dummy today and took out a a couple fin set ups.

First was the Single Twin set up that has a large center fin and then a smaller trailer fin right directly in back of it.  For this day the single twin was not ideal.  As Mike says "riding a single fin is completely different than riding a twin or tri fin. Its all about the pivot". 

Toby took out a set up with 2 larger side fins and one small center fin and this set up was much better for the conditions. The board generated much more speed with this set up.  Turning was very easy. Toby said, "It was like it was on rails on some of my turns".

here are a couple phots from yesterday.
