Product Details

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.

The Shaper

Shaped by Robin Kegel. Originally based in California, now in France, Kegel travels between Gato Heroi outposts in Australia, Italy, and Japan. His shapes draw from 1960s–70s surf culture, refined through decades of hands-on testing.
