Lost and Found…A needle in the haystack. The most sought-after board in the collector’s world. The phone call came in with the conversation starting with, “I found this surfboard in the rafters”, … as it turns out it is an original Black Da Cat.     Deep in Pennsylvania this board sat for decades.  (See original photos of the board in the gallery).  Going through a full glass off restoration-by-Restoration Specialist Randy Rarick back to its original condition. Randy’s words, “Its better now than when it was made in the factory”.  Going the extra distance for transparency, we have video of the board before restoration, during the restoration, and the finish product with Randy Rarick explaining every step of the process.  (See video attached).  Randy’s intricacy, patience, and attention to detail in his craft is nothing less than pure perfection.   This is by far one of the best Black Da Cat’s on the planet..

This Black Da Cat is drop dead gorgeous.  Clear reveal foam on either side of the stringer that is snow white.  Immaculate full gloss black panels on the deck, rails and bottom making this board extremely sexy.   This first generation Black Da Cat stands at 9’8, has flawless Da Cat logos and an original glass on sleek black fin.    Up at NO RESERVE!!!  Bid for pride, bid for pleasure, but most importantly don’t let this BLACK DA CAT GET AWAY!!!   Good luck to all bidders!!!
