I know of Katin making great board shorts and having a surf shop. But I not familiar with them manufacturing their own brand of surfboards ? Why do you ask ? Is a used board you're interested in have a Katin logo on it ? If so can you post a photo of it ?

1) is that logo under the glass ?
2) can you take a photo of the bottom on the stringer which shows the shaper's name and dimensions ?

A quick search came up with this company https://www.katinusa.com/pages/about-us
So what is worse.... dying or regretting it for the rest of my life? Obviously I chose not regretting it.

The shop I worked at was a Katin dealer, and I've never seen them produce a board. Can you provide a photo of the whole bottom of the board including the fin(s) area ?
