This model takes the Death Dagger outline, swaps the tail for a pin, and provides even more hold—especially in critical drops. Recommended with an upright, flexy fin (9½"–10¼") to maintain sensitivity while achieving powerful drive in good surf.

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.
