That looks like old Naish Pirate board or the Global. Had one just like it. Forget year though.

What are the specs on the board? Sky pirate was usually pretty big.
I think this might be the predecessor to the global. Naish On Shore or something like that. I had the side shore. I ground the fins to pieces, the board just wouldn't die.

This is from about year 3 Naish, or so. maybe a little older. Actually I think I had it same time as I had Gen 1 Torch. It was a pure surf shape that one of their team riders liked for kiting so they made in kite construction. The board was built in the legendary cobra factory, using super light and super strong sandwich construction. As picture shows it has some quirky little mini power box fins. I had one, it was small, about 5'4". Great shape, construction, etc, but too small by current standards. One of my buddies little kids was surfing it, and I think will start kiting it when he's a little bigger. I think there might have been a bigger size too, but I can't remember. Those pads are after market I believe.

i think these boards were full pvc foam sandwich... indestructible last forever construction.
i have one similar to this with a square tail 5ft long.. i love it... in the meantime i snapped many boards. Good weight too.

Its a 5'2 board. I'm thinking it may be a bit small for me. I usually ride 4-5 feet waves.
No other graphics other than Naishkites 5'2
