The Board

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.

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.
