SURFAR! currently taking place in FRANCE avec RARE indian summer conditions so far! 
Perfect head high offshore conditions act as perfect test fields for new foils . 
Classic gato Heroi sliver worked well in softer offshore conditions, like a hot rod log , low rocker and knifed rails penetranted the stiff morning wind and high tides.

The JUNGLE ACID prototype no.1 
had the basic essentials for the overhead days. Providing carving properties, and a critical floatation 
level bridging transitional era surfing with moderrn longboarding.

"The two boards had an amazing amount of similarities . The Sliver shape and jungle board together proved to be a key combination for riding waves from waist high to overhead. the common factor between the sessions so far would be 
would be that the wind  has stayed offshore every session. The slivers low rocker and knifed rails can be a problem in choppy conditions. The jungle acid's vee entry helped me backside with the side offshore chop, displacing the negative energy  off the bow . . ." says Rgk gato Heroi shaper commenting on the recent trip out in FRANCE .

  1. Robin,

    I just bought a board of yours from Wallako, a 9'2 silver and I feel like the king of the world. I tried her yesterday and she's a knock out ( surf boards are girls to me, can't say why...) Enjoy Morocco. A hand shake !
