The Gato Twin has a generous entry rocker compared to most boards in this category which makes getting into tight sections easy, this blends into a long single concave, which keeps the rocker fast and flat through the stringer along the bottom of the board. The underside of the board bevels slightly up at the rails allowing for easy transitions into turns.

The Gato Twin comes in 2 fin options. Firstly, with glass on keel fins - allowing the board to have incredible hold and drive, draw long arcing turns and gain incredible speed down the line. The second option is with futures fin boxes which allows the surfer to surf a more upright Mark Richards style fin for a tighter turning approach to the wave. This is a versatile twinny, another model that truly works in variety of conditions for most levels of surfers. Its stable and easy to catch waves on and can perform to a level of the most advanced surfer if pushed hard.

Jed's Keel-Fin Fish surfboards move from strictly traditional to progressive.  

The traditional style keel-fin fish effortlessly glides down the line with unparalleled drive and speed.  This is due to it's compact and flat planing hull and two large parallel ply keel fins. This style of board literally tracks and needs to be overpowered into its drive line by the surfer, so it needs to be ridden short.

A modern take on the traditional fish is freerer in the pocket and easier to surf top to bottom. It has an asymmetrical fin foil with more toe and splay.

The Evo was a natural progression step-down from the Rolled Vee series of boards. Wanting something that rode similar with a more pulled in tail and a little more tail rocker, we came up with this plan shape and then made the rails slightly boxier to handle bigger waves and be a little more versatile than a more pinched rail.

Made to be ridden hard from the tail, but also trims real nice through the middle and front, it’s fast becoming our favourite board.

Comes standard with a 9” or 9.5″ Hull Vouch volan flex fin.

You’ve been riding mid lengths for years now. You know how they turn, you know what waves they like being ridden in and you pretty much know everything there is to know about a 7 to 8 foot single fin rolled bottom, foiled rail mid length…

What am I going to do with my (surfing) life now?!

Well here it is. Mid. Length. Vish. Not your run-of-the-mill mid length board, these things can handle some serious juice, while still being amazing in the knee to chest high range that so many people love riding mid length style boards in.

Tubing point and you don’t want to deal with the hassle and nightmare paddle of riding a sub 5’6″ fish? Here’s your answer. Paddle in early and still be able to rip the absolute shit out of the wave with speed, power and flow…

New updated mid 6 foot versions available also. These things really start to take on a whole new dimension when ridden hard from the tail around the 6’6″-6’8″ mark.

Both the factory and TEAM current favourite board…

Comes standard with glass on keels but Futures work equally as good in these.

The space roach is a relatively conventional board in comparison to most from Gato Heroi, but it still maintains a Gato aesthetic and performance. Built for guys transitioning from a shortboard into the single fin feel, this board has a subtle roll under the chest allowing for ease of paddling and nice trim when toward the front. The double concave in the back 1/4 of the board gives drive when the surfer is coming off the bottom or out of turns. This is an easy surfing board great for a variety of conditions and a great model for that transitioning surfer.

The Fish itself needs no introduction, every surfer has either had one, ridden one or has at the very least seen one. The Fish was no doubt the catalyst for the alternate surfboard scene we've seen over the last 15 plus years. In 2004 I was privileged to receive 2 templates from Mr Fish himself Steve Lis, via my shaping buddy at the time Dain Thomas. I have literally just about worn them out! I use the curves on so many different boards from performance short boards , single fins, guns, and of course LisFish. So all credit goes to Steve Lis. Enter 2016 and the Fish is back! (or never left for some folk, yours truly included). Steve’s original lines are the base for our Vinnie but this time round I have pulled the nose in and added a slight side cut to pull the tail in a fraction making backside more manageable. Combining this with a smaller fin template and altered fin position, it gives the Vinnie beautiful release off the top and a feeling of control. With the generous chest volume and forgiving 60/40 forward rail the Vinnie is a super reliable daily Twinny.

We have had huge success with our short swallow-tail variety of twins and have made a bunch of short curvy out-lined pulled-in pintail twins, however they never quite had the spark and drive of the wider tail swallows, especially in small to head high waves. After a few years of fine-tuning, we added about a foot of length in the middle to straighten the rail line. It came in at 6’11” and had glimmers of brilliance but still lacked an all round consistent feeling. The next time around we added a single front-foot concave, tucked edge chine bottom rail, moved the fins forward a couple of inches and the El Reyo Verde was born. It surfs as flashy as the name it bears, combining the best attributes of a mid-length and a twinny. The foam right under your chest gives it amazing paddle power and a spark and speed typically only found in short, swallow tail twins, all delivered in an elegant outline that flows and swoops like no other.

In the glory days of California surfing the Noserider was the flagship, the banner carrier, the número uno. It smacked of Detroit with its extravagance of foam and stringers, of beautiful coloured resin panels and oversize fins. An elegant tanker that trimmed along like a long-stroke V8 through sloppy sections and weak walls. The classic Noserider still appeals for all the aforementioned reasons. A beautiful cruiser with all the tricks added. Take four steps or two, and hold that pose as long as you can, on tiny waves or up to waist high. Lots of board = lots of glide.

Unrivalled, unprecedented, pure fun; the ‘DOPE MACHINE’ is the first of our collaboration series with long time ‘MAD MINDS’ Advocate George Henderson of ‘A DEAD COFFIN CLUB’. Fundamentally, it is a combination of a classic high wide point fun-board, almost reminiscent of a 70’s single fin spawned with a modern proggy fish or hybrid.

The signature diamond tail gives the board a shorter rail line, so the water breaks earlier which creates an early pivot point for a wildly responsive, tighter turning board that also allows for positioning in more critical parts of a wave. The rail volume is reduced slightly, rocker increased and bottom concave charged up for damn a lively ride. True to name, the “DOPE MACHINE” is one TUFF customer. It’s a little known fact that before the invention of transparent, high-impact polycarbonate, the L.A.P.D used DOPE MACHINE’s as riot shields during the ‘big bruise up of ‘88’
