“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 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.

LightSpeed II is the evolution of our original LightSpeed tech — same foundation, new materials, for ultra-light and ultra-fast performance. We’ve replaced all carbon components with a custom-engineered combination of high tensile S-Glass and Innegra composite, delivering a dampened flex pattern, with a smoother ride, with less chatter, without sacrificing strength or durability. The “Exoskeleton” centerline strips are now built with S-Glass, infused with Innegra, offering a more forgiving flex than carbon, with superior dampening. The Web Fused Carbon tail patches have also been upgraded to Web Fused Innegra™, resulting in a white, light, lively, responsive board with forgiving flex and a smoother feel underfoot — all without sacrificing the signature speed and pop that made LightSpeed famous.

LightSpeed II Highlights: High Tensile S-Glass + Innegra™ Construction: Replaces all carbon elements from the original LightSpeed with more flexibly forgiving materials. Less sun and heat sensitive, as well. Updated Exoskeleton Strips: Centerline strips now built with S-Glass and Innegra™, maintains tensile strength while dampening flex and reducing chatter. Web Fused Innegra™ Tail Patch: Replaces previous carbon version, for a forgiving feel under your back foot and improving dampening. More Flex Before Failure: S-Glass offers increased bend range before creasing or buckling, than carbon — delivering longer board life under pressure. Reduced Chatter & Twitch: Aimed specifically at minimizing the rigid, snappy feel often associated with carbon, creating a smoother ride overall. No More Carbon Footprints: For those looking to reduce their carbon footprint— literally — this update eliminates all carbon in the layup. 

• “Carbon Neutral*”… with tongue firmly in cheek. It’s not really Carbon Neutral (whatever that even means)
