These boards function as intended but have a touch more personality. This personality comes in the form of imperfections in the handwork that is involved in making these surfboards. For example, the colour is not perfect, the logo is in the wrong position or there is a minor fault in the finish. In return, you get a great deal on the price. If you can live with these imperfections, these deals are definitely for you!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Great all around stick. I’ve really banged mine around and it’s still in terrific shape. Highly recommend”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e8’0, 8’6, 9’0 – these are super versatile, user friendly longboards. With medium entry rocker and full outline you’ll find a board that glides in the small stuff and can be ridden from on the nose. Progressive surfers will find a quick midsection, slightly pulled tail, with enough release to keep the board fast and loose.  The 8’0 has a thruster set up for a more funboard feel, the 8’6 and 9’0 are 2+1 standard longboard set ups. In the Wood design all sizes are 2+1 fin set up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 9’1 and 9’6 are more traditional noseriders, focussed on stability and trim. These are excellent for both developing and skilled longboarders aiming for traditional style surfing in smaller waves. Low rockered a wide nose, these are super stable with tons of glide. The 9’1 has a harder rail through the tail with a double concave vee for manoeuvrability. The 9’6 has softer rails and a rolled bottom for classic trim and hold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt in TET construction, these are extremely strong and durable, designed to withstand impacts in and out of the water, while still being light and easily handled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFin(s) included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thruster set for the 8'0 and 2 + 1 for 8'6 - 9'0 - 9'1 - 9'6.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction - TET\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original Torq construction – a whole new way to build surfboards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst 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 first time – perfect shape, perfect weight, perfect foam structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blank is covered in Biaxial fiberglass cloth and our unique Shield Skin with a computer mixed and measured volume of epoxy resin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA second press mold – precision CNC cut from a single block of aluminium – is used to cure the resin, heated for perfect resin distribution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the benefits?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccuracy – there’s no shaping, sanding and guess work. The whole process is controlled; foam density, resin content, fin inserts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLow 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDurability – 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSustainable – 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do they surf?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Torq","offers":[{"title":"8'0 \/ Red Rail","offer_id":54086542131541,"sku":"TQ-A-PR-0800-LTD","price":579.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0985\/7138\/7221\/files\/torq-torq-longboard-tet-futures-2-1-fin-factory-second-56748802015573.webp?v=1780826972","url":"https:\/\/surfshop.alohasurf.nl\/products\/torq-longboard-tet-futures-2-1-fin-factory-second-1","provider":"Aloha Beachclub, Surfschool \u0026 Surfshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
