What is it like inside a wave that looks this good?


What's it like inside a wave anyway? 


Is this the greatest invention since anything ever? Nothing beats this ...

How badly do we want to have a go?!!  We are sure your ambition to try this is the same as ours, and for only pocket change it could be yours ... + a few extra items of kit, like a jetski etc.


 





Whilst your mouth is salivating over trying out one of these Flyboards let's bring you down to earth with a few more boards that we've been told will have the same effect:

Mutant wave chews people up - just for fun

The mutant wave known as 'The Wedge' came to life creating a playground like no other in this archive footage.  If you are interested in seeing some cringe-worthy wipeouts from last season check this out - just make sure you're sitting down ...

The last over-hyped "Mega Swell" led to a few gems and more than enough amazing wipeouts. Enjoy.

Introducing new Quiver Surfboard's Team Riders of 2014...

It's been a while since any posts have taken place, only because we are jam-packed super busy in-house! 

Today's post will be briefly introducing 2014's updated list of Team Riders. . . Keep your eyes peeled, they're all over the place at the moment!

As they say. . . Ladies first

Dee Ripoll
What can we say? Dee you have been an awesome lady to have with us on the team! Such a talented, kind, motivated surfer who is always ready to take on the waves. Unfortunately Dee has had a break away from her surfing due to some unforeseen circumstances. . . But we are hoping 2014 will be the big motivator for her now as she is currently recovering and will soon be back in the water doing her sponsors proud!


Keshia Eyre
This girl is the newest member to the Quiver Surfboard's team, following her brother who you'll soon read about. . . 
Looking at the success & progress she has made this early into her career, anyone can tell this girl was born to surf! In the UK Pro Surf Tour last year she showed them how it's done by becoming Women's Champion of the tour. This year all of us here at Quiver are looking forward to making perfect boards for her, that ultimately will allow her to continue to improve, and live the dream. 


Jessie Tuckman
As mentioned in the Beyond blog, Jessie is an all-rounder team rider for Quiver, Beyond & Surfers Skin. She has had success in the last year and has never been more ready for the future ahead. Jessie, by far, does the most promotion for Quiver Surfboards, yet has only been part of the team for such a short time. We will continue to support her through the coming year, and pray she has all the luck for the comps!


Grace Doyle
Only 23 years of age Grace is a budding surfer ready for 2014. This Irish lass leads an extremely busy lifestyle entering comps, teaching, travelling & training hard to achieve all of her goals and dreams. Such an inspiration for young women! We are very happy to have this lovely lady on the team & wish her all the best for everything she encounters in the future to come. 


Mischa Maguire
The 'grom' of the team! Mischa is still in highschool however spends most of her time dedicated to the one hobby that gives her an adrenaline rush of a lifetime. Amazingly she has already claimed the title of English Champion for her age group. . . Not to mention what she has to offer this year as Mischa has been selected to be in the British Junior Squad! A huge congratulations and good luck is order!


Now for the boy's. . .


Gordon Fontaine
Gordy has been one of our Team Rider's for a long time, and he is always bringing something new to the table. With him being a full time student it's really inspiring to see he still has time to show and put
 200% into his passion for surfing. We wish him all the luck for this year & will continue to support Gordy when needed!


Mark 'Egor' Harris
Again another long serving Quiver Team Rider. . . You could say he is more local than a Cornish Pasty! On a serious note Quiver is very proud to have Egor as part of the team.  We all wish him all the best for the coming years and hope he continues his passion to surf!


Jonny Brooks
Working 6 months in the UK and returning back home to Australia through the cold, miserable winter months. . . it seems Jonny is already a well known character here in Newquay. In between travelling, running a couple of coffee shops, holding down a girlfriend, this guy still manages to live the dream by travelling and surfing as much as he can. A valued member of the team and a great character to know!


Luis Eyre
Following his sisters introduction, Luis & Keshia are a brother & sister surfing dream-team. However individually, Luis has had great success from 2013's results in competition conditions. As well as scoring a perfect 10 wave he managed to scoop the title at Thurso and overall come out as 2nd place in the Open. We are really pleased to have him on board with us here at Quiver & at the age of 21 the sky is his limit.


Will Bailey
Another 'grom' of the team! Will has continued to succeed in his surfing career over the last year, training hard & travelling far and wide with his coach. You may have seen him in a carve issue last year, which at the age of 15 must be very motivating to chase the dream. He is a new member to the Quiver Team Riders & we can't wait to see what he has to offer this year.


Alex Gibson
Coached with Will Bailey, it seems these two are the rookies to watch out for. Alex, also at the age of 15, has been dedicated to surfing since he was 9 & first surfed competitively at 11 years old! If you check out the videos and pictures you can see the massive improvements he has made. . . Quiver will continue to support Alex & wish him the best to come in the following year ahead.


Liam Turner
Liam has been riding Quiver Surfboards for a few years now, at the age of 17 he has built himself an extremely long list of places he has traveled and surfed. Recently he has been busy concentrating on a six part series of surf videos to promote himself. We hope this year Liam carries on improving as we continue to support him. . .


Charlie Rio
Based in Jersey, Charlie is another 'grom' of the team. He is a new Quiver Surfboards Team Rider & we look forward to seeing him compete as he enters most Jersey competitions. We wish him all the best for 2014 & hope the boards we provide will help him through the year!
