Are you emotionally ready for no-good filthy party boy Luke Davis?
Well, here’s the point. I’m not particularly concerned with whether or not you like the San Clemente surfer Luke Davis.
Because I live to like Luke Davis. He makes me feel good. And whenever I’m feeling real low and dirty and my heart is splattered all over hell, watching Luke Davis pumps me back up.
(Even if he is a filthy fucking no-good party boy.)
In this episode from the surfboard company Lost, a promo for their one-board-for-all-conditions Quiver Killer, a slightly longer and more hi-fi version of the Short Round, Luke is filmed throwing lip gloss all over Lowers.
The Quiver Killer logo, a bullet, is the famous Spitzgeschoss design, a reflection of the shaper Matt Biolos’ fascination with German munitions.

what drugs does this guy do?
Respectfully, i reckon ya need to spend 6 week’s @ snapper luke to loosen up your game.you got the turns but somethings a little clunky and ridgid.when it clicks though….youll be a fucjen ripper!
Hey, nice!! His surfing reminds of a 15 years old Filipe Toledo
Andy Irons fucked up surfing for me. I will forever judge everyone by his lofty standard. If Andy at his peak was a perfect 10, Luke Davis in this clip is struggling for a 4.5. Struggling.
Yep. One turn Andy did at Keramas is the best thing I’ve ever seen in surfing. (Although, Rasta outsurfed him otherwise on the day).
Luke surfs better than I expected he would, bravo.
he surfs worse than Sally Fitzgibbons and his back wrist is broken. Fixable. That quiver killer looks hot though.
But not worse than Ford Archbold!
Holy Shit Molly Ringwald looks like Johnny Florence! I demand an investigation.
Oh wow, she really does!
Hang on. Does she look like him? Or does he look like her? (Just slightly more sun damaged).
Meh, surfing looked a bit ‘cut short’. You know, turns could be more…
Liked the sounds, it’s familiar, but can’t quite place it. If anyone can identify the band, I’ll go “Aaaahhh, of course” for you.
I thought he was ripping other than those early-2000s rail gab finners
like Kolohe without the head-snaps
Maybe I missed it, I didn’t get through the whole thing due to a viewing platform that runs like crap. Just I thought Lowers was meant to be ‘high performance’, and to me, it looked kind of slow and not really moving a lot of water. Don’t get me wrong, kid flows down the line nicely, but that clip sort of melds into hundreds of others pretty quick. As opposed to the Albee Layer Cloudbreak B-roll for example. That stuff sticks in my head…
Albee’s backside top turn is gammy
Common nickname for Lowers is “Slowers”.
Aaahhhh it’s “Homicide,” by 999!
Although to tell you the truth I thought it was Sham 69 at first.
Aaahhh, of course. Was more an Exploited/Discharge sort of guy when it came to English punks.
The Damned and Wire for me.
Both made it into both came later into my realm later, although 12XU was a defining moment. And friends of mine have recorded with the Captain. So close to greatness…
