The name Gato Heroi ("Cat Hero") emphasizes Robin's unique sense of humor, along with his love of honest, casual surfing. He designed two boards based on Japanese folklore hero Momotaro and is auctioning them off for the Japan Earthquake & Tsunami Relief fund (A GlobalGiving Project). This video shines a light on the art of Gato Herói's hand-made custom shapes and Robin's philosophy on surfing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_AWDDZFdX8 Then bid on the Momotaro Daily Driver or the Momotaro Smooth Operator.
