THIS IS HOW WE ROLL

JACKAL DT

2012 - This is how we roll

We are celebrating 10 years & the scene is stronger than ever! Development has never been faster with new models, shapes, materials, riders, brands, styles & ideas flowing out from everywhere around the world.

This year we are introducing two new models. Our flag-ship freeride board - The Jackal & our new slide & trick board - The Hammer. Most boards get minor fixes & tweaks, but the major

changes are. The DFA gets a new redesigned shape & bigger wheel wells, The Wedgie becomes a bit shorter with a new shape, The Platypus gets a wider body & finally, after 10 years, it’s time to retire our first board The Supercrusher.

We are also dividing our lineup in three different seg-ments. The aggressive, the progressive & the classic boards. Read more on the last page.

See you out there!

We are proud to introduce our most advanced fre-eride board The Jackal!

This board is custom made for us in Canada & is available both as a dropthrough & topmount.

The stiff & durable 9-ply design with a dropped platform will most certainly become a team favour-ite!

The hammer is our second completely new design for 2012. This is a stiff & durable trick & slide ma-chine that will get you hooked for life!

Its wide body & high concave makes the board stable & locks your feet in position to secure that steezy slide & the board takes a beating better than most dropthrough boards!

LOWRIDER

Locals Apparel is that lazy hot afternoon when you suddenly feel a cool breeze. Smoky air at some BBQ party. Vague bruises from a awesome ride. Dedicated delicate design. Rather indy than indie. Tanned legs. Daydeams of swaying palms. Working hard and playing harder. A per-fect grind. Sun-warmed concrete. Kidney shaped pools. Rebels without causes. Solo but soulful. Venice’s winding boardwalks. Home is where the art is. A dream of do-ing something for the likeminded. Locals is not only a brand but a lifestyle. It’s a lit-tle piece of California, from the Swedish west coast, Gothenburg.
