Torq Delpero Twin 7'0 TEC - FCS II

Product description

A high performance, easy surfing midlength. With a really smooth outline and easy boxy rails it's naturally flowy and forgiving, allowing you to surf it in any conditions. But it's not only made for cruising, its rocker and lift at the back paired with the twin fin preference makes it really manoeuvrable.

As a daily driver, it's a wave catching glider with easy direction changes. Edouard also surfs it in solid conditions at home - the loose twin fin set up frees up the tail for quick adjustments in the barrel.

“As a twin fin, positioning of your feet has to be just in place. But be ready to take high lines, speed and carve your way back to the curl!” - Edouard Delpero

Fins included: None.

Construction - TEC

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.
