Product description
8'0 Rusty Moby Fish - Torq TEC - FCS II - 4 Fin
Over 20 years ago I made the first Moby. I had ridden fishes in the early 70’s. I wanted to revisit the glide and speed of a fish. The first Moby I built, 1999, was 7’10 22.5 3.1. Volume? No idea. No matter. It did the job in smaller surf and I rode it on some bigger days. I was quite happy with it. It made the cut on the 2 or 3 board quiver I kept in the back of my truck - Rusty Preisendorfer.
Fins not included.
Dimensions:8’0 x 23.25” x 3.25”
Volume: 69.9 ltr
TEC 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.
What are the benefits? We 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. The 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.
How do they 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! Our team rider’s report their boards outlasting their previous boards by around 2-4 times longer.
