"A …lost classic, Digitally Re-mastered” The Quiver Killer is one of our all time, best selling and most loved models. Popular around the world. It was one of the original modern hybrid shapes, that worked in all types of conditions, from 2’ slop to 6’ tubes. An early 5-fin adapted model, it can be adjusted with fins, for waves of all types and sizes. A literal one board quiver, thus the name, Quiver Killer. Its forward outline and fairly wide nose lend plenty of forward momentum, both paddling and once you're on your feet. Drive is not an issue, here. The generous width and continuous curve outline, with a modestly pulled in rounded pin tail give both lift in smaller surf, and speed control, with precise turning and carving, with confidence in better waves. The nose rocker is moderate, pairing well with the width up front and initiates into turns with forward momentum. The tail rocker is lower. Its fast and drivey, featuring a clean concave and enough curve in the rail rocker, to turn well under the rear foot to not feel stiff. This little board proved itself again and again, with its ability to perform in all conditions, under the feet of local and traveling surfers around the world. We had not adjusted the design in years, simply re-sizing for custom orders as retailers slowly stopped stocking them, in lieu of newer models. With the constant updating and releasing of new models, the Quiver Killer somehow got lost in the mix. Relegated to custom orders and a few smart shops who still stocked them. We feel the time has come to bring back some of our best models from the past and give them a subtle make-over. Considering the new builds and techs weve been working with the last 5 years, it makes perfect sense to finally offer some of our classics, in the new, modern materials and ride characteristics. Not a full re-design, nor a major up-date, that would require a new name and lots of RnD, but a smooth and simple “Digital Re-Master”, to the older CAD files, which could use a bit of cleaning up. Not wanting to inherently change the design, we went in and "Re-Mastered” each size, fine tuning the files to cut clean and shine in a new way. Dims and details stayed on point with the past, but subtle curves cleaned up for ease of shaping, manufacturing and end use enjoyment. Along with the Digitally Re-mastered files, we brought the branding up to pace with modern taste and designed a fresh new package, with subdued, stylish colours built into smaller sized logos, to finish this refresh in a wonderful way.
