Cobra Killer

[twinzerfan]

This whole debate could be settled easily enough.

Most shaping software will allow you to look at your rail rocker versus stringer.

Take one board and make the bottom flat to whatever rocker you want. Then, draw up the exact same board, and use the flat bottom board as your ghost. Add a single concave to your center slice to match your ghost board’s rail line rocker. Cut both boards, set fins exactly the same. Give to someone without letting them look at the board before paddling out and see what happens.

If you let someone know, or even look at the boards, they’re psychologically invested in whatever bottom they believe in. Only way is to give it to them in the water.

I’d be interested in the results

Are you still building boards? If not, then that would be a shame.

You are not seeing the fall off of the tail rocker. You are only looking at the concave in a vacuum.

The lowest point on the board in the picture is point of the swallow tail. That’s where the water go to from center...

Did you look at the Cole video? It couldn’t be more obvious.

No wonder you don‘t do concaves.

Angled Views

You can see the concave turning inward at the fin area





Concave following the template




I doubt your boards will do what Maurice is showing , please post pics !

ok boomer.

In many videos you can see a "Gathering" of water under the tail of boards at speed , rather than releasing unihibited - freely in all rearward directions .

Boomer gunna finish some fins now , bye

 

[Duffy LaCoronilla]

Lots of gathering...

Resurrecting this one, looks like it got dragged into a pissing match tangent.

So... anyone actually ridden one of these Cobra Killers or SOC's own round twin??
Saw one out in the water yesterday and it looked great. After seeing it in action, it's on my wish list, with a bullet. I'd probably order from Paul, just so I don't have to look at any Mayhem logos even if it's uncharacteristically restrained for a lost. LOL

Local pro got one with a trailer box, which I thought was a no no with this model

Not the same, but a similar variation. I've been on one of these: https://misfitshapes.com/catalog/product/view/id/282/s/beach-burn/category/8/


I only ride it as a twin. I've used NPJ fins, Alkali Ellis twins and the s-wings above - they all work and add a different layer to how the board rides. It is one of the most versatile boards i've ever ridden. From knee-high to overhead, it works in everything. I really enjoy these egg style boards with the wider nose and rounded tail. I'm not really a lost fan - but i like the look of that board.

Wait. Lost has a .net website???

Stab did a board review in the latest electric acid board test (or whatever it is called?) with Noa Dean. Didn't look that great to me and I was very curious about it. Kind of put me off it. That Bullet model from Stacey looks pretty nice.

Yeah, was it a cobra killer where Matt insisted Noa put a trailer in it? Noa didn't at first and struggled a bit with it......then he added the trailer and liked it better.

 

[oeste858]

oh interesting. I'll have to check out that video.
so I guess this isn't accurate: "Due to the relatively pulled in, rounded pin, being paired with the deep concave behind the fins, the COBRA KILLER needs no trailer fin, and is built exclusively as a Twin."
That's kinda disappointing. I thought maybe Paul's bottom concaves might be some secret sauce for a twin. Regardless, the guy I saw was ripping on it.

 

[jkb]

This is what I was thinking of @oeste858. They specifically moved the fin placement to accommodate a twin + trailer.

take away the beard and Biolos looks like an old lesbian.
