He rapidly achieves it, nailing multiple finals in international 6* and 10* events.\u003cbr\u003eStill a child, but pushed by big contracts and big expectations on his young shoulders, he prepares to take on the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e…But not before a dream surf trip to the still relatively uncrowded Mentawais, with a star-studded crew of surfers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI get invited to tag along… “Hey, my dad is coming. You should too!”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy not!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe begin building a quiver. Daddy Dino is flexing:\u003cbr\u003e“You need air boards, comp boards, and a couple good wave boards. A step-up and back-ups…”\u003cbr\u003eAll performance, comp-type boards, designed to prepare for battle. But Kolohe is a kid. A kid with not much of a childhood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA professional competitor since his pre-teen years—and he wants something fun.\u003cbr\u003e“Make me a tiny little board that can rip proper waves. Fits in the tube, but goes really f***ing fast too. Short and wide, but a tail for good waves… and fast!”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe DRIVER was already our premiere comp model—Kolohe’s, and other team riders’, staple. Starting with a wider-than-average Round Pin DRIVER, I cut a few inches off the nose, then re-pulled in (and re-flipped) the tip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first MINI-DRIVER.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe sprayed it highlighter yellow, to glow in the tube, and slapped five fin boxes on it. Sprayed bright and glassed light!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnder the ever-watchful eyes of Dad, team managers, media magnates, and multiple filmers\/photogs, Kolohe kept things strictly business… only riding his comp-style boards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut one afternoon, at an unnamed, slabbing right barrel, the time was right. He proceeds to paddle out on the MINI-DRIVER and repeatedly knifes numerous blue-water barrels, laying deep hacks and boosting airs upon exit… over and over, until that ultra-bright, ultra-light beauty of a board breaks. First surf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBack on the boat:\u003cbr\u003e“Thing is insane! In everything! Make a model!”\u003cbr\u003eThe MINI-DRIVER was born. For years it became a staple of our line-up (and in surf line-ups) around the world. A wide variety of hardcore surfers, including Mason Ho, were singing its praises. Many rippers continue to order customs today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver time, with the relentless parade of new model releases, the MINI-DRIVER became relegated to a by-request model for repeat riders and slowly sort of faded from the limelight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe facts are: the MINI-DRIVER is a ridiculously effective, all-around surfboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort, wide, and playful enough (with plenty of planing area, low-ish entry rocker, and soft forgiving rails) for average waves.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAt the same time: its foiled, rounded pin tail with modest rocker and not-too-wide nose fits furiously into power pockets and holds when pushed hard, in punchy, solid, sizable surf.\u003cbr\u003eSorta like a more performance-minded Quiver Killer:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Quiver Killer evolved as a design for guys who typically ride alt-hybrid boards, looking for an effective alternative to handle a wide variety of waves.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe MINI-DRIVER evolved as a design for guys who typically ride pro-formance boards, looking for an effective alternative to handle a wide variety of waves.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MINI-DRIVER is an ATV (All-Terrain Vehicle) of surfboards, with a pro-formance mindset.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt excels in small punchy beach breaks, head-high and larger point breaks, and of course, in just about any size reef break.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe have re-created and refined the same classic curves, with no significant changes. The rails and foil are tuned a bit, and the size scale has evolved (to maintain pace with modern taste), but overall, it’s still the same serious little mean machine that can pretty much handle anything.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4 class=\"p1\"\u003e***NOTE***- Pictures shown are STOCK IMAGES only.
