- Ian reviews the Lost x Son of Cobra - Cobra Killer surfboard: www.boardshop....
The Lost Cobra Killer surfboard is a collaboration masterpiece from Matt 'Mayhem' Biolos and Paul Lefevre of 'Son of Cobra' surfboards. Paul Lefevre is world renowned for his Resin Works artistry, but he's equally adept at the craft of shaping. "I’ve said for years that Paul may be the most naturally talented, all around board builder, that I’ve worked with in all my years" - Matt Biolos.
The Cobra Killer is a perfect blend of two amazing boards. Predominantly formed around Paul's unique and significant double concave bottom which was then blended into the outline, foil, rails and primary rocker of the tried and tested Lost Quiver Killer.
So the Cobra Killer was born, a Post Modern Twin-fin with a double stringer and looks to die for. As you'd expect the Cobra Killer is fast, twinnie fast but not so much that you can't control it. The fins are set well back and because of the deep double concave there is no need for a stabilizer, in fact the Cobra Killer is surprisingly solid and predictable but with that lively and squirty feel we all love from a twin-fin.
Son of Cobra are renowned for their immaculately finished shortboards and the Cobra Killer comes fully pimped with a full resin tint, dual dark wood stringers (fine enough for flex) with a 1/2" gap to reduce twist and torsion. The boards also come with a custom embossed metal logo laminated to the deck and a set of Lost x Son of Cobra and mini Mayhem decals.

Looks great , very well explained .... but - showing a person of great skill riding one would be very helpful in determining if this is a board for you. I'm 68 years old , 265 lbs. , and disabled in large part from 50 years of VERY vigorous surfing - so this board is not for me , but there are a couple of localhigh school kids the could demoralize these boards. Love these reviews - very informative. Seth , the hubby poaching on his wife's account.
I just ordered a 6’3. Added some foam though for extra paddling speed
Good call, helps getting into those bombs.
I have it in 5.11 love it with the 1st gen of akilas, tried on fast waves with sea shepard Twin too and still turns hard
Kike Munoz Konig is this a bird you want to size up in volume? I normally ride 26L 145lbs for reference. Thanks
@@sdsurfs I ride it a bit higher volume than my regular shortboard. The 5’11” CK is 33.5L and my Voodoo Child is 6’0” 32L. I’m 90kg
@boardshop Do you recommend riding at or above your usual volume?
Hi Chris, it comes down to wave type, how often you surf and many other factors. Drop us an email and we can nail this down for you. We are at info@boardshop.co.uk - Cheers
Have you been able to test out the Son of cobra fins yet? im debating getting those or some Akila ones for a retro fish 5´8... any suggestions?
We have. Drop us an email and we can break them both down for you. Cheers
@@BoardshopUK ended up getting the EN futures, testing them out tomorrow yeww!
This board is only futures fins true?
Only Futures ....
Hi nice review! . Could you please help between cobra killer vs Pegaso by christenson ?? how those two compare ? I do own a Christenson Fish and love it and looking for something for when the waves light up!
Electric acid board test... Matt B. Hammers Noa for riding it as a twin... totally says it's not a twinny. ?? And had the twin plus 1 fins for him to use. ... he switched to twin plus 1 and said that was how it should be.
They Customised the board to suit Noas preferred surfing style and moved the location on the fin boxes so it the twin he rode was different to how this would feel as a twin. Id say it was almost a completely different board to the actual Cobra Killer.
Kinda wierd way to put out the board model...
Well rumour has it that noa and matt biolos arent best of mates so he changed this model so noa wouldn't be able to guess it was a lost shape and mark it down on purpose? Who knows. What i do know is that this board is incredible! ive seen videos of strider surfing it at skeleton bay and it is remarkable!
Looks fun... seems interesting to hear they might not get along... just like every other job or industry... turns out pro surfing is the same. Still I'd like the pro surfing job!
