Product Details

A gunnier log for serious conditions.

The Double Dagger takes the Death Dagger outline and swaps the tail for a pin, providing extra hold in critical drops and larger surf. Pair with an upright, flexy fin (9½”–10¼”) to maintain sensitivity through turns. This is a board built for quality waves—not your everyday log.

How It Rides

The pin tail and pinched rails give this board hold that most longboards don’t have. It drops into steeper waves with confidence and drives through turns without sliding out. The roll-to-vee bottom provides smooth transitions and keeps speed through the flat sections between sets. At 9’8” it still paddles and catches waves like a longboard, but it surfs more like a big mid-length in critical conditions.

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.
