board barn team rider frothing on his poppa!!!



Its so good! My Poppa that I bought from the Board Barn has been a really versatile and fun short board surf board.

The Poppa has been used contantly for the last 3 months and in those 3 months has been surfed in the Fast barreling reef waves in Indonesia to the slower fatter beaches in the uk. In these contrasting conditions the Quiver Poppa has been one of the best boards I have ever had.

I took the Poppa to Indo to fill a gap between the two boards that I already had; a high performance 6'0 and a barrel chasing 606. From my experience of Indo in the past I knew that the wet season can create some very average days that would not be so fast and criticle. After speaking with Guy at the Board Barn the Quiver Poppa came out as the board for the job. Check out this link to get the shapers description of the Poppa http://www.seabase.eu/surfboards/Quiver/Poppa/

Thanks to the Board Barn for the chat that got me to the Quiver Poppa!

Do Something Amazing - BID ON THIS (if you have the cash)!!

An ebay seller whose bizarre wetsuit advert went viral has pledged to donate 90 per cent from the sale to victims of the Japanese earthquake.

Kind-hearted D Morgan, from Truro, put his ”urine free” wetsuit on the popular auction website last week with the advert promptly going viral thanks to his comical description.

Amazingly, more than 400,000 have viewed the wetsuit in which he goes to great lengths to describe the condition of the product and his own impeccable grooming.

He wrote: ”I rinsed it in fresh water after EVERY session so it’s in VERY good condition as I look after my gear, I always do.

”Similarly, I take care of my body and shower at least once a day and always moisturise. Yes, you’re probably getting a feel for the kind of man I am.

”You’re probably thinking ‘people p*ss in wetsuits, I’m not sure about a second hand wetsuit’, but believe it or not I have NEVER urinated in this suit, seriously, these suits are too good to be doing such a vulgar act in.

”The wee just ends up staying in the suit and then when you’re sat having a post-surf pint in the pub you smell awful and girls don’t like boys that smell of p*ss, so you just sit there, alone all night, sobbing into your pint of Betty Stoggs like a lonely desperate p*ss smelling man.”

He also admits the only reason he’s selling the suit is because he’s ”a flash t**t who buys a new one each season” who likes ”the feel of fresh neoprene on my soft skin”.

With the huge amount of global interest garnered up by the advert, bids are now approaching a staggering £4,000.

As a result, the Cornwall surfer has decided to make use of ”all the ‘f*cking energy man” and pledge 90 per cent of the sale price to the Red Cross to aid their efforts in Japan.

We at Quiver are offering a brand spanking new board to the lucky buyer and the original makers of the wetsuit, Hawaiian company XCEL, got in touch with the seller and offered a new suit worth £300 to the auction winner while DryRap has donated a special towel to the auction. Carve magazine is also throwing in a free subscription.
