Torq TEC Chopper Surfboard

Torq TEC Chopper Surfboard

The Chopper is a super versatile shape – it’s got the volume and length to pick-up knee-high waves or to get an early takeoff in well overhead surf.

The design has a bit of volume forward and a low entry rocker so it has a nice forward trim feel on an open face or in small conditions. There’s a nice bit of foam under your chest making it paddle well without feeling big and corky.

In the tail of the board, the more modern refinement on a classic style egg shows – the pulled in tail combined with a low rail, single to double concave and smooth exit rocker makes this unexpectedly lively when surfed from the tail.

It has a 2+1 fin set up and can be ridden as 2+1, single or twin.

Construction
Torq Epoxy Composite 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.

How do TEC Surfboards surf?
The 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. If you’re used to PU they feel quick at first. After a few surfs, your old PU will feel very slow!
