06/08/2026 - 22:50
FORMER presents the third instalment in the DEFECTIVE UNITS series ; “GABE + TIMO”

Part profile. Part delayed welcome to the team. Part interview. Part surf clip. Part Timo Simmers. Part Gabe Morvil. Both hand-picked by FORMER founder Dane Reynolds to be part of the FORMER team, both interesting, creative, and exciting in their own way. This volume is more their introduction than anything else. Who they are, what they do when they're not surfing, what favourite animal is...The big questions get answered. 

"Timo is a really cool young kid with a lot to talent. I think in the next couple of years for him will be important. We will start to see him develop his own style, power and his own kinda way of riding waves. I see so much potential in him" — Dane Reynolds

"Gabe is kinda one of my favourite surfers that I didn’t really know existed until fairly recently. He is always going really fast and has a really unique technique. He is a really cool blend of some of my all-time favourite surfers. It’s probably a bit of a dumb cliche but you never really know what to expect when he stands up on a wave.  — Dane Reynolds
