The Lost Quiver Killer is ideal for someone looking for that single shortboard to pull out for a wide variety of conditions.

It’s the board you bring with you every time there’s an ounce of swell in the water, and chances are, it’ll become the board you ride every time you surf.

The Quiver Killer is easy to ride and will have you feeling good about your surfing when you leave the water!

The Shape

What makes the Quiver Killer unique is the way that it blends a generous amount of width throughout the board into a pulled in round tail, all without making it feel like a chunky “groveler”.

The Quiver Killer features a full nose along with a wide point shifted slightly forward of center (right under your chest). This gives you a bit more foam underneath your chest and front foot which translates to easy paddling and good speed when you press on the gas.

Overall the shape promotes carving with the pulled in “thumb tail” and wide point forward design.

The tail gives hold and drive, so you can lean into turns without sliding out.

Low to medium entry rocker paired with the wider nose makes this thing paddle like a dream.

Low exit rocker through the tail = speed, planing, and acceleration through weaker waves.

The Bottom

Single concave through the front of the board, blending into a double ahead of the fins and through the tail.

This provides balanced turning radius, great rail-to-rail transition, and the ability to generate speed down the surf line

Wave Type

The beauty of the Quiver Killer is the fact that it works in a huge range of conditions and wave types. From 2 ft and bumpy to 6 foot and tubing!

I’d say the sweet spot, best conditions, is anywhere from waist to chest high at a lined up point.

Fin Setup

Designed to be ridden as a Thurster or Quad, however we’ve had several people say they like it as 2+1 also when it’s small.

Works well with a raked out fin set (quad or thruster) at fun sized, lined up point breaks.

Unlock the board for punchy beach break with either an upright thruster, or 2+1 setup.

When the waves get bigger, a raked out thruster (like an AM2) works great.

From the shaper:

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 it initiates into turns with forward momentum.

The tail rocker is lower. It’s fast and drive-y, featuring a clean concave and enough curve in the rail rocker to turn well under the rear foot without stiffness. 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 we’ve been working with the last 5 years, it makes perfect sense to finally offer some of our classics like the Quiver Killer, 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 colors built into smaller sized logos, to finish this refresh in a wonderful way.
