The Board

Wayne Lynch-inspired. Smooth everything.

The Space Pig is a modern Wayne Lynch inspiration—pinched rails, gently veed bottom, wide point set back for smooth transitions between turns and trim. Use an 8¾”–9½” upright or mild flex fin for pocket surfing and maximum versatility. One of the most accessible boards in the Gato lineup.

How It Rides

Smooth is the word. The light vee to roll bottom and pinched rails make rail-to-rail transitions feel effortless—there’s no catch, no awkward flat spot in the middle of a turn. The rounded pin tail holds in bigger surf better than most mid-lengths, and at 8’0” it paddles like a longboard. Works everywhere from beach breaks to reefs to points.

All surfboards ship from our shop at 4051 Judah St in the Outer Sunset. Contact us for a shipping quote.

About the Shaper

Robin Kegel founded Gato Heroi in the early 2000s with a deep appreciation for 1960s–70s surf culture. Originally based in California, now in France, he travels to Gato Heroi outposts in Australia, Italy, and Japan. Known for innovative "calico abstract" glasswork and volan glassing. Early collaborators included Alex Knost, Cody Simkins, and CJ Nelson. His shaping philosophy emphasizes boards and fins as an integrated system, not separate components.

Shaped by Robin Kegel. Produced in Australia, Europe, and Japan.
