I don't think they are made in Italy think it is either Morocco or China

Wouldn't they be made by Cobra in Thailand like 99% of all the other boards? We have an RRD and its made in Thailand and has the same sort of vent system as the other boards.

There are a lot of boards made in China as well they don't all come from Thailand.

Doing a quick search on the web it appears rrd is made at the Cobra factory or used to be.

you know a board has been made in Cobra by looking at the serial number they use (normally around mast track)

its the same style of number regardless of board brand usually something like FS (fanatic skate) 10 (2010) 90 (litres) etc etc you get the idea

They make around 150-200 boards a year in Italy. Where all the rest is comming from...... This could be Thailand as suggested above.

They also sell a great device for converting fossil fuel into froth and bubble.

The local rrd dealer was telling me that when you buy a RRD yacht you receive the whole package : windsurf/kitesurf gear/surfboards/longboards and sups.

probably peanuts compared to the price of the boat....
