     JUNGLE ACID PROTOTYPE no.1-






 Just as suspected , the new model felt extremely loose rail to rail on the more flat faced waves. Typicaly Gato models feature a unique rolled bottom with slight crowned vee. Jungle acid features a more straightend leading vee bottom making for more acceleration from the fin and more critical direction change 

                                                         

 once tested in beach break conditions the straight vee entry in the nose  hepled penetrate the fast backside bowls. Proving the jungle acid so far ideal for beachbreak conditions . Due to the fact the bottom contour fit better in a steeper wave with the straightened   vee entry. Feeling her out. ..  at 9 foot!    this place is heavily backwashed and i reccomend a shortboard for that reason nevertheless the JUNGLE ACID proved to be the antidote for the afternoon of fun golden runs

Vee entry is a special feeling. It will lead to tracking out, being a function of trim usually not assosiated with 9 foot and sub 9 foot equiptment.
