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 flagship 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 segments. The aggressive, the progressive & the classic boards. Read more on the last page. See you out there!
JACKAL TM

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 perfect 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 doing something for the likeminded. Locals is not only a brand but a lifestyle. It’s a little piece of California, from the Swedish west coast, Gothenburg. www.localsapparel.se
