Quiver's new board range

With Suart D'Arcy and Felix joining our shaping team of Phil Hodge, Alain Minvielle, and Fifi Chevalier our board range doubled over night so we had to find a neat way of helping you flick through the boards and choose from our range.

Here is our latest surfboard display system - filter by Shaper, Shape, Ability, Fins Setup.  We hope it helps.  Whilst we are testing this system we'd welcome any feedback, good or bad!  :)

European Champion 2012

European Longboard Champions 2012 - (Winners! – not Second or Forth...)

Quiver® success continues world-wide....

Quiver® Surfboards and shaper Alain Minvielle continues their hugely successful
international progress with success in the 6* European Boardmasters and the 2012
European Longboard Championship!

Quiver® riders took first and third place in the 6* event in Newquay last weekend.
Former World Champion Antoine Delpero took first place, and his brother Eduardo
Delpero was extremely unlucky not to take second place in an easy win.

Quiver rider Damien Castera – one of the best free surfers in Europe right now - won
praise for his smooth, progressive, and extreme surfing in the semi-finals.

Questioned at length Damien praised his new Castera Model – “there is nothing
wrong with these boards – absolutely nothing! My surfing has progressed with
every surf I have”. Damien’s attacking style in bigger surf has won praise throughout

All team riders ride boards from renowned French longboard shaper Alain Menvielle
under the Quiver® Colab Series label in Europe.

Antoine Delpero Wins 2012 Relentless Boardmasters Longboard Comp


The final stage of the men's longboarding saw Quiver surfboards team rider and World Champion, Antoine Delpero, pitted against 2 other French heavyweights Remi Arauzo and Antoine's brother, along with a local competitor. It was a hard fought heat, "heavy" to hear it from Antoine Delpero, and the four Longboard specialists were hard to pick apart, but Antoine came out the clear winner. It wasn't uncommon to see four sets of feet on boards simultaeniously, much to the delight of the thousands of onlookers.



It was the older Delpero brother; Antoine, that turned up the heat. Opening with an 8.33 to get ahead of the field, Antoine managed a sturdy 17.26 over 6 waves. Champagne bubbles as standard, the four finalists ascended the podium to share congratulations and thanks.
