Torq Horseshoe TEC - Single Fin

“THIS IS THE DELUXE SURFING EXPERIENCE.”

Drawing on 60 years of classic longboard design the Horseshoe is a distinguished ride. It’s the luxury ocean liner, it’s first class all the way. The low rocker, wide and straight outline and 50/50 rail are combined to create a board that trims effortlessly. The wide, single concaved nose is designed to generate lift creating ample nose riding stability. In the tail, the rocker lifts slightly through the last 12” and the fin cluster is positioned slightly forward, which makes this much easier to turn than a traditional heavy noserider. If you are looking for a classic noserider, without the weight of a traditional board, that will trim and glide, noseride easily but still turn, then this is your ride.

Fin(s) 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.
