9'0" Gato Heroi Killer (Polyola Blank)
Finally! A more sustainable surfboard blank!!! Polyola blanks are made from 2/3 recycled content. There are two main ingredients to blow their blanks: polyol and isocyanate. Their polyol is based on an 80%+ recycled organic compound that they source from the packaging industry. The isocyanate is a chemical compound which is made from 60% plant based material giving it a naturally tan tint. This guarantees that at least 2/3 of their blanks are not based on virgin fossil fuels like traditional surfboard blanks.
As for the Killer model, this outline is derived from a speed shape blended with a classically tasteful square tail. A pulled in, pointed nose promotes high energy turns and maneuverability. Like most of Robin Kegel's designs, its rails are foiled thin and knifey to hold trim and project down the line. Add a convex bottom contour, low rocker, and a parallel outline for that high speed feel that Gato Heroi's are unanimously known for around the world. Fast, spontaneous, and maneuverable would be the three words we'd use to summarize the Killer.
Hand shaped and signed by the man, RK himself!
