New Fish
 
This is a fish that I designed for small to medium surf, In my opinion a fish should be small and this one is really small, 5'5"and under the ideal size is 5'.

Facelift

Tal como falei no post anterior, é tempo de mudanças na Magic Quiver. A primeira delas prende-se com a imagem do blog. Mais uma vez contei com a ajuda do meu amigo Chris Haiderer. Um talentoso designer e fotografo Austríaco e um dos mais apaixonados surfistas que conheço. Nem a enorme distância do mar impede o Chris de pensar em ondas e pranchas de surf todos os dias.

O Chris actualizou o seu blog á uns meses e merece a vossa visita. http://trimmovement.blogspot.com/

Like I said on the previous post, it’s time for some changes at Magic Quiver. The first one is a new image for the blog. Once again, the design was made by my good friend Chris Haiderer, a talented Designer and Photographer form Austria and one of the most stoked surfers I know. Even though he lives very far for the sea, Chris is always thinking about waves and surfboards.

Chris updated his blog a couple months ago and you should pay him a visit http://trimmovement.blogspot.com/

Changes

A Magic Quiver nasceu da minha paixão pelo surf e pelas pranchas de surf. Nunca dependi da MQ para viver, mantendo-a por paixão, sem deixar que as questões monetárias interferissem nos meus planos. Não importava se ganhava muito ou nada num negócio, importava sim entregar mais uma prancha mágica e deixar um cliente a sorrir.
Ao longo de 2008 e 2009 o blog cresceu imenso, com a introdução de mais marcas de pranchas, fatos de surf e acessórios. O tempo despendido com a MQ era cada vez mais e o tempo livre para a família e para surfar cada vez menos. Estava na hora de mudar, dedicar-me apenas ao que me dá prazer e acima de tudo passar a ter tempo para a família e surfar.

Assim sendo, começo 2010 com alterações na Magic Quiver. A partir de agora só comercializo pranchas de surf. Acabaram-se os fatos ou acessórios.
Algumas marcas deixam de fazer parte do meu catálogo e novas irão aparecer.

Sempre defendi que a evolução do nosso mercado passa pela visita de grandes shapers ao nosso país, para partilharem conhecimentos e experiências e por isso continuarei a trabalhar para trazer mais shapers a Portugal.

A Magic Quiver é mais do que uma loja online, é um local de partilha de informação, de experiências e de paixão pelo surf. Quero que assim continue e espero continuar a merecer a vossa visita! Deixem os vossos comentários e digam que shapers gostavam de ver no catálogo da Magic Quiver.

----------------------------------------

Magic Quiver was born form my passion for surfing and surfboards. Never depended financially from it, it was all about the passion, keeping it just for pleasure, without letting money interfere with my plans for MQ. It didn’t matter if I had much or zero profit from sales, it was all about delivering another magic board and get a big smile from a stoked costumer.
In 2008 and 2009 the blog got bigger and bigger, with new labels and more products like wetsuits and some accessories. Magic Quiver was taking a lot of my free time and family and surfing were getting behind. It was time to change that. More time for the family and surf and more fun working.

So, I’ll start 2010 with some changes on Magic Quiver. From now on I only sell surfboards, no more wetsuits or accessories. Some labels will disappear and new ones will arrive.

I will continue my work to bring more shapers to Portugal because I believe that it helps the evolution of our market and our shapers. Those big names carry a lot of information and experience they can share with us.

Magic Quiver is more than an online shop; it’s a place to share information, experiences and the passion for surfing and surfboards. I want it to stay like this and hope that you keep coming back. Leave your comments and tell me about the boards you would love to see at Magic Quiver!
