Torq Funboard V+ 7'8 Palm Green Wood Deck

Product description

FOR ALL SURFERS OF ALL ABILITIES

The Volume Plus takes the trend for high volume wide boards into the midlength model, creating a board with the stability and paddle ability of a much longer board, but in a compact, easier to turn package. These boards suit all surfers of all abilities, whether looking for a first board or quiver builder for fun days. The high volume makes it super easy to catch waves while the rocker and bottom contours make this lively and agile underfoot with more performance than you would expect from a larger board. Great for beginners, great for bigger surfers wanting a shorter board.

Fins included: 2 + 1 set.  

Dimensions: 7’8 x 22 1/2” x 3 6/16”
Volume: 64.0 ltr

Construction - TET

The original Torq construction – a whole new way to build surfboards. First, 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 the first time – perfect shape, perfect weight, perfect foam structure. The blank is covered in Biaxial fibreglass cloth and our unique Shield Skin with a computer-mixed and measured volume of epoxy resin. A second press mould – precision CNC cut from a single block of aluminium – is used to cure the resin, and heated for perfect resin distribution.

What are the benefits? Accuracy – there’s no shaping, sanding and guesswork. The entire process is controlled; foam density, resin content, and fin inserts. Low 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. Durability – 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. Sustainable – 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.

How do they surf? The 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.
