This was one of the first models to come out of the Cobra (Thai) Factory. This was the beginning of total mass production of composite sandwich boards. Before this (back in 98???) custom was king.
I had to rearrange the board rack in the garage (the new SUP is really long and it now occupies the top rack - the windsurfers got moved to the bottom). When I pulled this one out, I remembered watching the onset of mass produced, super light, super strong boards and the sadness I had as the customs sat on the racks collecting dust. I loved the new boards and all the performance they promised, but they didn't have the character of the old, heavier, hand painted hand made boards.
Dilemmas...
