About the Item

An exceptional piece of surf history, this 9'6" first-generation original black Da Cat is among the rarest examples of this legendary model. With fewer than 50 boards originally produced in black, it stands as a highly scarce and sought-after variant. Renowned for its groundbreaking design and enduring influence, the Da Cat holds a place at the pinnacle of collectible surfboards. This board has been professionally glossed and polished, reviving its deep black finish and original brilliance while preserving its authentic vintage integrity. A museum-quality Greg Noll / Miki Dora Da Cat longboard—ideal for display, and worthy of the water.
