We’ve made a quite a few of these Blackboard Flexpigs and now I have geared the shop to build them more efficiently. Initially working with this foam, the stringerless blanks, this resin, and glass was a bit of a challenge and limiting out production which is why the price was $1600.
Now that we’ve got it dialed I have dropped the price to pass on the savings. The last batch were delivered with this price adjustment and I’m in touch with those that got the first run to make sure that the first Flexpig customers don’t feel slighted.
At the same time I raised the price of the Ricefin option since I now know how long each panel takes me to build.

Originally conceived with the idea of making a pig that has the feel of balsa(with a dense core and a lighter shell), and flex to give it more life and some noseriding advantage, the Flexpig has met and exceeded my expectations. I believe that this is a very unique product and I’m super happy about the reception I’ve gotten from Flexpig riders. I’m looking forward to concentrating on building these boards along with the Speedhulls. You’ll find that the wait time on both of these models will be greatly reduced in the near future.
All my older models are still available thru Cooperdesigns. Once I finish my current list of orders I’ll only be doing the fancy Cooperfish stuff for shows, projects, or special editions. -Thx, Gene
The amazing Bobby D. It was well worth the drive down to San Diego to deliver his board and chat.


Yes it’s pink
Board swaps are always fun. I wanted this TW board of Alex’s pretty bad so we did one.
