DESCRIPTION

With width forward of center linked with rockers and foils from our high performance shortboards, the Black Cobra paddles and handles extremely well. Since the first Dreamcatcher, our guys have been pushing the DC to its limits around California, Hawaii and Mexico. The DC's flatter rockers for easy planning and faster speeds is great in everyday waves and getting down the line in bigger surf. As the waves get bigger and you're moving faster, boards with flatter rockers tend to have less control. To take the design to another level, the Black Cobra was made to get in early like the DC and given additional rocker for more control and easier turning in the pocket at the higher speeds of bigger surf. Then back home, some of our riders started surfing on it more everyday than just using it as a step-up. Even though they love the performance of the DC, their style of surfing liked the addition of more rocker in the Black Cobra for its even tighter turning radius.

FEATURES

ROCKER

Lots of rocker throughout the board to fit nicely in a steep face or critical section.

RAILS

Medium to slightly pinched.

BOTTOM

Single concave to a good amount of double concave with vee off the end.

FINS

Tri fin is standard. Five fin convertible is highly suggested. As a quad it will have more holding power when the waves get bigger or hollow.

WAVE TYPE

Shoulder high to double over head. Beach breaks, points and reef breaks.
