Torq Longboard TET - Futures - 2 + 1 Fin - Wood Deck

8’0, 8’6, 9’0 – these are super versatile, user friendly longboards. With a 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, a 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.

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 with 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.

Build 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.

Fins included: 2 + 1 set.

Construction - TET

The original Torq construction – a whole new way to build surfboards. First, we blow a blank to the exact finished size with a measured weight of EPS. We don’t hand shape or CNC these, they are made perfect the first time – perfect shape, perfect weight, perfect foam structure.

The blank is covered in Biaxial fibreglass cloth and our unique Shield Skin with a computer-mixed and measured volume of epoxy resin.

A second press mould – precision CNC cut from a single block of aluminium – is used to cure the resin, and heated for perfect resin distribution.

What are the benefits?

Accuracy – there’s no shaping, sanding and guesswork. The entire process is controlled; foam density, resin content, and fin inserts.

Low waste – no shaping means no shaping waste. The cloth is laid up dry so off-cuts can be recycled. Resin is measured by weight and applied with no waste dripping on the floor.

Durability – Biaxial cloth is stronger than plain weave and we can use it a lot due to the efficient lay-up. Our blanks use high-density EPS and epoxy resin is stronger than Polyester.

Sustainable – A low waste process and a long lifespan = less impact. The production is run on solar power. All materials are sourced locally. Shipping is in slim-fit, bleach-free boxes with plastic-free packing. We make the fin boxes from GRS and UL-certified recycled plastic.

How do they surf?

The feel is similar to PU. The extra fiberglass means they absorb chatter well, without the super lightweight response of the TEC. They have a nice light neutral feel – responsive but forgiving.
