If you surf different shapes and styles of boards, you start to understand how little details affect the way you actually surf and how it feels. Once it gets a bit bigger, ask a friend if you can borrow his semi-gun. Or take a Foamboard to catch a few waves. A board you trust in, and know well enough to surf in whatever conditions the ocean throws at you.īut if you have the chance to take out a Longboard or a Fish on a small day, do it.
Or you can only bring one board for whatever reason. This can be a groveler, a twin fin, a Mini Malibu or even a longboardīut sometimes you don’t want to travel with such a heavy bag. As a travel quiver, three boards would be ideal The perfect travel quiver This is especially useful if it comes to your travel board. The answer is yes! If you’ve got the right board, you can surf it in a big variety of waves. Call it what you want.īut the question is: Is it even possible to have a one board quiver? Especially in times of Tinder! I hope that these expanded, Every Day Dims (E.D.D.) allow more surfers to enjoy this well rounded design.Allround board, quiver killer, or one board quiver. We believe that The QuiverKiller is a truly special board and we want to make it easily available to a wider range of surfers. I ended up adding a between 1.5 and 2.50 liters to each board. Feedback has also been that a significant amount of surfers were hearing the hype about the QuiverKiller, but upon going into stores they saw the dims were a bit emaciated for their needs. Not really “Domesticated” sizing, but simply a a second, more generous, size scale to fit a larger assortment of people. In most sizes there was room to make an upsized set of dims for the QK. I started feeling that the original size scale to be a bit slim in the lower size range. The stock dims tend to force a lot of guys to go longer than wanted to net enough volume. Being a board for not only young rippers but older guys as well, I decided to take at look at the sizing scale. The thing was, they were all custom ordered and had significantly more volume than our current stock dims. On a recent surf trip to Indonesia, I realized nearly everyone in our crew had a QuiverKiller.
The Quiver Killer… a shot straight through the heart.
#QUIVER KILLER FREE#
Free and easy in small-ish surf while still precise and forgiving in solid surf. Staying with the ammo theme, we swapped the stubby little speeding bullet for the new logo, an elongated, Spitzer influenced munition. The rounded tail, reduced nose area, and the added rocker, prevents too much rail being wetted at once in small surf, and allows control and ease of pocket and power surfing in proper waves. The surface area and volume are still generous enough to create speed and feel lively in anything but the smallest, or true “grovel” surf. The overall outline and rocker lines are a minimalistic and simplistic continuous curve. We then changed the tail to a forgiving, rounded “thumb” tail without narrowing it too much where the front fins are. At this the point, it would be unfair to continue calling it by the same name.īeginning with the ShortRound, we added a couple inches of length, moderately added to the overall rocker, and pulled the nose outline in a bit.
While spending time in Bali this summer I began doing some tweaking to the design. With myself and so many people enjoying the ShortRound, it quickly became clear that the short, relatively flat, and stubby board was an easy answer for fast fun in smaller surf, but with some limitations. The Quiver Killer is an extension of the Short Round model.
