Robin Kegel: Shuffling, Jumping, Gouging…

By Jack · On July 2, 2015

RGK rides 9’4 Gato Heroi Playboy in junky East-Australian surf.

Kegel described as ‘like no one else on a longboard’ tears up the rulebook down the south coast of Austrialia about four hours from Sydney (A secret little northern corner about five kms down a dirt track apparently).

He is riding a Gato Heroi Playboy, one of the few options that he shaped himself for the Joel Tudor ‘Duct Tape Invitational’ event in Noosa.

Andy Findlay gave us the low-down

“He put this little Gato T fin in it to try for this surf and it was just going mental, we only filmed part of his surf but it was one of the craziest sessions I have ever seen Robin hit, he was just doing mental stuff.

“Rolls, take-offs, airs, a few of those rollercoaster parallels. He even spent the first half of the session switch. He really is like no one else on a longboard when he has a session like that.”

The film was shot and edited by Jessamyn Jean.


 

gato_heroiSome say you’re shaping the future of longboarding, some that your logs are too weird and hard too hard to ride, what’s the truth?
