Surftech and Cobra share a long relationship which originated in 1990 when Surftech founder Randy French developed Tuflite composite construction with Cobra as his manufacturing partner. Since that time, the two partners have collaborated on several industry leading board technologies including, Softop, ULTRAFLX, Pro-Eite, TL2, Natural Composite and most recently Quantum Carbon construction. 

Surftech LLC and Cobra International announced the signing of a definitive agreement under which Cobra will become a minority shareholder of Surftech.

This newly deepened strategic partnership will give Surftech the support in product development and production ability to meet the strong demand for our boards we have today and grow into the future," said Surftech CEO Huntley Dornan. "Together, Surftech and Cobra are positioned to advance board building yet another step and to create world class innovative products for another twenty years, just as we have the past twenty."
