SPICE

THE QUIVER KILLER: PERFORMANCE & FUN
A quiver killer that blends performance and fun into one board. Experience incredible rail carving, impressive speed, and instant drive. From beveled thin rails to a wing tail and concave bottom shape, these design elements work in harmony, delivering a ride that synchronizes speed, power, and flow.

KEY FEATURES - 

> Unique bevelled rail - The unique bevelled rail shape makes turning both ultra-responsive and easy. The slightest foot pressure and the board just rolls in the direction you want to go. The rails are super fine both in the nose and tail, reducing the swing weight through your turns and giving you direct response when applying pressure on the rail.

> New size for heavier riders - The Spice has had outstanding interest, and now we have added a new size 10’3” x 32.5”. After great feedback from our Spice lineup, we expanded to this larger size to offer entry level paddlers the chance to jump into a truly great performing model straight away. This new larger size offers more glide and amazing stability for heavier riders.

> Nose outline - Provides stability and extends the rail line for faster speed. Thin tapered rail profile helps reduce swing weight from the nose to enhance manoeuvrability and speed through turns.

> Bevelled rail - Features three key benefits: It reduces planing area, boosting speed and acceleration. The bevel angle enables effortless rail-to-rail transitions, enhancing responsiveness for pumping and carving. The thinner, pinched rail demands less foot pressure to initiate turns.

> Parallel and thick mid-section - Parallel outline helps engage the rail for good speed down the line while thicker midsection provides float and carries speed down the line and momentum through smaller surf.

> Slight domed deck - Helps keep rails thin for response yet gives enough float in the centre buoyancy of the board.

> Wing tail - The Wing tail creates a break in the rail line, giving stability from the extra width forwards, while narrowing behind the wing for better control and response. The rails are kept thin at the tail for more manoeuvrability.

> Round pin tail - Offers good drive out of turns and holds well in bigger surf.

> Board sock - Reduces paper waste and protects your board from dust, scratches, and UV damage. Made of stretchable polyester, it fits various board shapes and has a secure drawstring closure.

> 5 fin option - 

Allows for 4+1 and 2+1 fin setups. Choose based on your riding style and wave conditions. Updated fin angles offer more front splay for maneuverability and less rear angle for drive.

All models include a 4+1 setup with 4.7 front and 4.5 rear fins, except the 10’3″, which has a thruster setup with a 170 center and 4.7 front fins.

What sizes do they offer?

> 10’3” x 32.75” / 174L - The 10’3” suits larger riders, and follows the same design language as our smaller Spice sizes: including the bevelled rails for excellent drive and speed down the line. We offering a more dedicated SUP surf mode with good cruising capabilities. We feel that the large spice delivers excellent surfing performance without any stability loss. Ideal for larger riders looking for a longer surf specific design.

> 9'3" x 32.75" / 153L - The 9’3″ is the biggest in the range, designed to be the most stable option for heavier riders between 100-130 kg. The length glides easily when catching waves and gives you good speed to quickly paddle back out to catch another ride. This board gives you ultra-stable ride.

> 8'8" x 32" / 140L - This board is sure to be a favourite among riders that want to save energy and maximise surf time. Long enough to get you into waves, yet compact for you to whip around and fit into sections without your nose catching through turns.

> 8'2" x 30.75" / 121L - The 8’2″ was Trevor Tunnington’s favourite model during the development in Portugal. This size is easy to paddle yet reacts on a dime from the thin bevelled rails. Fast, Stable and on point, the performance defies its size.

> 7'11" x 29" / 106L - The 7’11” is a lot of fun and full of surprises! The length makes you perform radical turns and fit tight in the critical section of the waves without the nose catching. At 29″, the width gives you enough float without hindering speed or manoeuvrability.

> 7'4" x 27" / 90L - Specifically designed for riders weighing up to 85kg, this board offers unrivalled surfing performance. The length allows for seamless turns without nose-catching, while the 27” width enables fast and explosive maneuvers. Ideal for those seeking additional volume over the 6’9” without compromising high-performance riding, this model is a must-have addition for many.

> 6'9" x 25.5" / 79L - Ideal for higher skilled or lighter riders between 50-70 kg. World Champion Benoit Carpentier requested to make the 6’9″ so, he could compete on it when conditions were not so ideal for the Pro. The 6’9″ is also ideal for lighter riders that want the most compact design with the best manoeuvrability.

> 6'9" x 24.5" / 73L - Designed in collaboration with elite riders Zane Schweitzer and Benoit Carpentier, this board redefines performance boundaries. With a 73L volume and a 1″ narrower width, it offers advanced riders unparalleled maneuverability, explosive turns, and impressive speeds. This model is the ultimate choice for lightweight riders seeking to elevate their skills across all wave conditions.
