This Cobalt factory epoxy board is probably made in China. It's SUPER durable. It has no, and doesn't get pressure dings. I've surfed this board in 4' - 7' waves for twenty years (off and on with my 6 other surfboards) and I could surf it for twenty more if I wasn't 63 years old now. I've jumped up to a 6'-8" board & 40 Ls. This board has had one tail ding repair, one on the nose, and one rail, and one fin hex-nut rethreaded. Liters aren't listed on this board but I estimate it to be 35 Ls. I weigh 135 lbs and duck dive it just fine. The factory fin boxes are a smidge wide for my futures. I've always used home made shims made from plastic milk jugs and never had a problem. Plastic shims come with :D
