This Custom Foil III – GC2163 is in the old Cooperfish style and is sold.
I’m picking up the loose ends as we transition into the new era of Cooperfishes which consist of Flexpigs, C2 Speedhulls, and the models that will spin off. We’re working on a handful of previously ordered customs now that include abstracts and tints in the old CF style, old CF models shaped by me that will be trickling out over the next few months. The Cooperfish label is 20 years old this year and I enjoy being immersed in the new direction and believe the new models offer my customers something very unique.

My old models shaped by Eric Walden and glassed by Brian Michler with fancy the glass jobs and all will continue to be available over at Cooperdesigns.
The BLACKBOARD’s shape is based on boards right out of the mid to late 50’s, pig ground zero.
The FOIL III is the 1967 version, foiled and finned late 60’s style. I used to call these “Australian Foils” (because it was loosely based on by “SAM” and others like it ) until I found that Bing had a model of the same name in the 60’s. This prompted the name change.
I know the BLACKBOARD’s pure 50’s shape isn’t for everybody and I thought bringing this model back might be a good idea to give customers an option.
