{"product_id":"torq-delpero-classic-tet-single-fin","title":"Torq Delpero Classic TET - Single Fin","description":"\u003cp\u003e“After a few years of testing we've found the formula for a board I can use in small conditions and cruise focusing on classic style longboarding but also working in descent waves allowing to do amazing nose rides in critical parts of the waves. That board is also super solid and I can travel with no worries about it being broken.” - Edouard Delpero.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAlain Minvielle has extensive shaping experience in California and a fine appreciation for the flow and glide of the classic style. With Edouard’s input they have created a Classic shape inspired by the classic 60’s model of Longboarding (no edge) while adding some more modern bottom line to find the perfect cruiser with surprising manœuvrability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe critical part of this design is in the rocker and volume distribution - the curve of the rocker will allow you to maintain noserides in the pocket while gliding in small conditions as much as in larger waves. Finally the unique distribution of volume through the board, from a thick nose to a thin tail, will allow you to cross step with grace and turn with ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFin(s) included:\u003c\/strong\u003e None.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction - TET\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original Torq construction – a whole new way to build surfboards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst 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 first time – perfect shape, perfect weight, perfect foam structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blank is covered in Biaxial fiberglass cloth and our unique Shield Skin with a computer mixed and measured volume of epoxy resin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA second press mold – precision CNC cut from a single block of aluminium – is used to cure the resin, heated for perfect resin distribution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the benefits?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccuracy – there’s no shaping, sanding and guess work. The whole process is controlled; foam density, resin content, fin inserts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLow 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDurability – Biaxial cloth is stronger than plain weave and we can use a lot due to the efficient lay-up. Our blanks use high density EPS and epoxy resin is stronger than Polyester.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSustainable – 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do they surf?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Torq","offers":[{"title":"9'2 \/ Cream","offer_id":57521047535998,"sku":"TQ-A-ED-C-0902","price":699.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"9'2 \/ Sage","offer_id":57521047568766,"sku":"TQ-A-ED-S-0902","price":699.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/6117\/8685\/files\/TQ-A-ED-CTorqDelperoClassicTETSingleFinCream.webp?v=1780828680","url":"https:\/\/popupsurfshop.eu\/products\/torq-delpero-classic-tet-single-fin","provider":"Pop-Up Surf Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
