Torq TEC Summer Five Surfboard

Torq TEC Summer Five Surfboard

We should have called this model the stoke machine! This board is so damn fun. It's a full-on smile generator.

It's short but wide with hiddenvolume, paddling is so easy it feels like you're cheating. Those small summer waves become a playground of ramps and little power pockets that connect through little flats and fun bowl sections. It opensyour eyes to a whole new skate park in the line-up.

It's such a versatile board - small waves, onshore days, first shortboard, step down for a longboard. No matter, this is the board that proves the old saying - there's no such thing as bad surf.

Technology:TEC - Torq Epoxy Composite

Torq Epoxy Composite offers performance shapes in our state-of-the-art epoxy layup. These boards have the best balance of Lightweight versus Durability. Using our own unique lamination process, we are able to use a very strong fiberglass lay-up of 6oz and 4oz combined in 3 layered deck and 2 layered base (with a 4 layered rail lap) with high-density EPS foam, but still achieve a board weight that matches a lightweight fiberglass lay-up. The result is light but very strong board, with good flex characteristics and as with all torq's excellent value for money.

The TEC Shortboards have 2 full layers of fiber over the deck and bottom. On the deck, we use an extra 6oz deck patch which gives triple-layer ding resistance but doesn't resist the flex along the rail. The addition of a carbon filament stringer and UD carbon strip on the base makes these super springy and responsive.
