-XTSEA-
-D-VEE-
 |
D-VEE!!
Heavily inspired by the Aussie vee bottoms of 67-69... this board comes
with panel vee through the tail.. with uprail in the nose running into a
downrail in the tail.. this model features slightly pinched 50-50 rails
and wide tail... this board is a diamond tail and psychedelic panels on
the deck and bottom are standard... goes as hard as you want off the
bottom and cuts back like a demon..these boards have an unreal amount of
drive and come out of turns with a heap of speed... lengths are
8'6"-9'0"... with a more loggy feeling in the longer 9-0 it noserides
well but main actions are for direction change and handles overhead surf
very well.. good for the beachies and excelling to its fullest in point
surf or clean beachies.. d-vees can come with a more bladey aggressive
pinched rail if requested.. but proven best are the fuller 50-50 rails
due to its aggressive panel vee the fuller rails balance out the
spontaneity of the vee.. ridden with standard GH ANIMAL 11" fin 8.5"
from tail for optimum performance... so turn on trim out with a D-VEE
only by GATO HEROI....

SPACE
PIG!! EVOLUTION YOUR DAILY BREAD!! Space pigs are amazing all around
mid lengths and probably our most versitile in size options and overall
wave match.. ripping in beachies and amazing in the points.. with rolled
bottoms and vee off the tail with slightly pinched rails throughout and
uprail in the nose to a more down rail in the tail... very loose and
responsive boards.. from 7'0"-9'0"... made for staying in trim and
direction change with quick trips to the tip in the right spots...
extremely influenced by Wayne Lynch and evolution these are go to boards
for all conditions.. TRIP OUT ON A GATO HEROI SPACE PIG...
-KOOK KILLER- |
 |
| KOOK
KILLER!! Killer is perfect for beach breaks or flatter faced take offs
too slopped out for pintails like JUNGLE SERIES. All around California
longboard with PERFORMANCE Elements, and only 9'0"-9'2" in length means
you will never feel like you should have a shortboard or longboard
instead, for those crowded days calling swell, but lacking power, when
its a struggle for mid-lengths, and opened up enough you dont want to
limit yourself with a full sized longboard. ELEMENTS INCLUDE: Small or
large square tail, high to low edged rail line and key length of
9'0"-9'2". |

ACID!!!! Extremly loose rail to rail on flatter faced waves with 3/4
