The Board

With a fuller outline, softer rails, and user-friendly design, the Acid 2020 works best with a lively upright single, or a pivot template if you want earlier turns and higher hold. The most forgiving Acid model.

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.
