Torq Longboard Soft Performance - Futures - 2 + 1 Fin

“Great all around stick. I’ve really banged mine around and it’s still in terrific shape. Highly recommend”

8’0, 8’6, 9’0 – these are super versatile, user friendly longboards. With medium entry rocker and full outline you’ll find a board that glides in the small stuff and can be ridden from on the nose. Progressive surfers will find a quick midsection, slightly pulled tail, with enough release to keep the board fast and loose.  The 8’0 has a thruster set up for a more funboard feel, the 8’6 and 9’0 are 2+1 standard longboard set ups. In the Wood design all sizes are 2+1 fin set up.

The 9’1 and 9’6 are more traditional noseriders, focussed on stability and trim. These are excellent for both developing and skilled longboarders aiming for traditional style surfing in smaller waves. Low rockered a wide nose, these are super stable with tons of glide. The 9’1 has a harder rail through the tail with a double concave vee for manoeuvrability. The 9’6 has softer rails and a rolled bottom for classic trim and hold.

Built in TET construction, these are extremely strong and durable, designed to withstand impacts in and out of the water, while still being light and easily handled.

Fin(s) included: Soft fin set.

Construction - Soft Deck

The original Torq construction – with an extra EVA foam skin on the deck.

We take a fully completed TET surfboard - with the same shape, lay-up, fin system and shield skin, then we add a foam deck skin.

What are the benefits?

TET is our strongest construction, lightweight and great to surf. For surf school or surf hire, these boards are extremely durable.

The EVA foam skin is soft so it’s safer if you get hit by it, which is good when learning to surf. It’s also grippy – we used a textured EVA – so it doesn’t need wax. Good for hot climates and less mess. 

It adds a bit a volume, especially on the rail – a fuller rail is more stable. More volume is more floaty for better paddling.

How do they surf?

Torq Softdeck is a real surfboard underneath - a proper hard board designed for surfing. The surf performance is essentially the same as a TET with a nice light neutral feel – responsive but forgiving.
