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.
BlackSheepBuilt boards begin with light weight, 1.5lb virgin EPS and utilize the most advanced “Triax-NCF” (Non-Crimp Fabric) high-quality carbon fiber, to create a fast, responsive and lively surfboard. A board that is both lightweight and flexible, but also surprisingly strong.
- “Triax” Carbon is laminated only on the deck, with a short bottom lap and sandwiched with multiple layers of 4oz, “D-size” fiberglass, top and bottom, for both durability and performance.
- •Engineered for rapid reaction and maintaining a forgiving flex and dampened overall feel, under foot.
- The combination of both Triax Carbon and fiberglass helps BlackSheepBuilt boards feel lively and exciting, but familiar at the same time.
- The unique performance of BlackSheepBuilt boards comes from the Triax Carbon, which combines a triple-axis +30/-30°/0 layup. It is an “un-crimped”, multi-directional carbon, which enhances and controls torsional force from rail to rail. Multi-axial carbon fiber is a great alternative to traditional woven carbon fibers because it is made up of alternately aligned layers of unidirectional carbon reinforcement.
- Because it’s not woven, the fibers do not “crimp” under and over perpendicular fibers, in the way that traditional woven fabrics do. The fibers lay flatter, retain less resin, remain smoother, straighter and stronger, with a more natural flex. Unlike traditional woven fabrics, there is also no 90 (degree) rail to rail carbon, which creates weak points and easy fissures for deck buckles, cracks and breaks.
- The +30/-30° fabric orientation, the torsion force and pressure from the surfer’s feet radiates outward to more of the rail line, creating greater drive, connection and thus control, with the edges and perimeter of the board. Strength and stability underfoot and along the rail line, work together as one.
WARNING: Carbon Fiber surfboards can easily get Hot! They’re dark…and like all things dark, they soak sun and heat up. The BlackSheepBuilt boards are made with lightweight EPS foam and a Carbon Fiber shell.
