Lost Cobra Killer Mid
The Lost Cobra Killer Mid is a fast, glidey, retro-inspired twin-fin midlength built for effortless paddling, smooth trimming, and stylish rail surfing. Designed by Matt Biolos as a stretched, midlength interpretation of the Cobra Killer twin, this board adds flow and glide while keeping the fun, loose feel that makes the original so iconic.
With extra length and forward volume, the Cobra Killer Mid helps you catch waves earlier, generate instant down-the-line speed, and draw long, flowing turns — all while maintaining the lively, whippy freedom unique to a true twin fin.
Who Is the Lost Cobra Killer Mid For?
- Progressing surfers stepping down from longboards who still want stability and paddle power.
- Intermediate to advanced surfers looking for a fast, cruisey midlength that also turns sharply off the tail.
- Shortboarders who want a higher wave-count board for average days without switching to a log.
- Anyone who loves retro midlength style but prefers modern performance and responsiveness.
Lost Cobra Killer Mid Design Features
Twin-Fin Midlength Outline
The Cobra Killer Mid takes the fun DNA of the Cobra Killer and stretches it into a midlength built for glide. Key design features include:
- More length for early entry and trimming.
- A fuller nose for wave-catching power.
- A pulled-in swallow tail that keeps turns sharp and controlled for a board this long.
Foil & Volume
The midlength foil puts added volume under the chest for easy paddling and faster wave entry. Rail and tail foils remain modern and refined, giving the board precise turning ability uncommon in most retro mids.
Bottom Contours
Expect a lively feel thanks to:
- Single to double concave for lift, speed, and responsiveness.
- Subtle vee out the tail making rail-to-rail transitions smoother in a longer board.
Fin Setup
The Cobra Killer Mid is a pure twin fin. No center fin. No 2+1. No trailer. Just clean, classic twin-fin speed and looseness — stretched into a longer outline for glide.
Construction Options
- PU/Poly – Smooth, classic midlength feel.
- EPS/Epoxy – Lighter, more lively, especially fun in smaller waves.
What Size Cobra Killer Mid Should You Ride?
Typical sizing recommendations:
- 6'8″ – 7'6″ for most surfers.
- Longboarders stepping down may prefer the longer end for stability.
- Shortboarders wanting a more nimble midlength can go shorter.
