Yeah, nice machine, but you would think they would attach an industrial vacuum unit to it.
Make bean bags as a by product.

Very interesting good vid. Theres i guy where i sail who made boards and had a cutter and everything. He would made his own designs and also copy other new boards like the isonic. Somtimes he would even put stickers on them to make it look like the real thing. I think he had like 11 brand new boards at one stage. He did still but some factory ones to though.

Agreed Haircut,

I would have thought that it would be a lot more automated... cutting blanks with a hot wire? Sounds so... um.... R/C plane-ish

I wonder what the Cobra factory does? Bearing in mind that labour is cheap over there...

hey, in the cobra factory they have molds of the boards they use to make there own blanks exactly the same size as the board, they pump the styro into them, well in beed form and whatever holds it together then they do all the glassing work, on big vacuum tables that do a few boards at once, the proto's are done on a cnc machine from a big block of foam and finished by hand, the old school way. the video was cool never seen it done like that, especially by a mad scientist.
