It holds a nice rail through carves, too.” - Damien Fahrenfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike it’s name sake the Go-Kart is super fast, agile and designed for fast acceleration and tight turns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur team riders tested this in all conditions from windy and waist high to overhead and hollow. It’s a board that does everything and more - airs, turns, barrels and still with a bit of float to skate on the weaker days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you’re looking for a board that surfs like a shortboard but without the limitations of a normal shortboard, this is for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFin(s) included: \u003c\/strong\u003eNone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction - TEC\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTorq Epoxy Composite (TEC) offers performance shapes in our vacuum epoxy layup. Vacuum epoxy uses a hand lay-up process, with a vacuum bonding process to bind the fiber to the board and remove excess resin. We have a few tricks in the vacuum process that keeps the resin content at a much better level than can usually be achieved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the benefits?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe can add extra layers of fiber while keeping the overall weight down – our shortboards have 18oz of fiber on the deck and 10oz on the base – approximately double of the fiber found on most boards of the same weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is lightweight AND durability. The weight is similar to a PU but we have a lot more fiber and more layers to reinforce the rail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do they surf?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe performance is very direct – TEC has an immediate response that is especially good in smaller or weaker waves. In larger waves the advantage is they are a lot less likely to break.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you’re used to PU they feel quick at first. After a few surfs, your old PU will feel very slow!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur team rider’s report their boards outlasting their previous boards by around 2-4 times longer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Torq","offers":[{"title":"5'10 \/ Black Rail","offer_id":58155623252350,"sku":"TQ-TC-GK-0510-R","price":535.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/6117\/8685\/files\/TQ-TC-GK-Colour-Rail-BLACK-FCS-II-PLUGS_77a90d1d-4e21-46a1-8b7c-2180ba37f858.webp?v=1791278273","url":"https:\/\/popupsurfshop.eu\/nl\/products\/torq-go-kart-tec-fcs-ii-5-fin-black-rail","provider":"Pop-Up Surf Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
