A true modern high performance longboard has to be capable of all of these things.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Don is stable on the nose, straight and fast through the middle and lively in the tail. The Don XL is higher volumed version of the Don for heavier surfers, slightly more nose oriented to enable more stable nose riding, but still super responsive in the tail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe added advantage of the Torq TEC construction; lightweight, strong and super responsive makes the wide repertoire of moves easier and more dynamic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFin(s) included:\u003c\/strong\u003e None.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction - TEC\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTorq 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the benefits?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do they surf?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you’re used to PU they feel quick at first. After a few surfs, your old PU will feel very slow!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur team rider’s report their boards outlasting their previous boards by around 2-4 times longer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Torq","offers":[{"title":"8'6 \/ Clear","offer_id":57146622673274,"sku":"TQ-TC-XL-0806","price":829.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"9'0 \/ Clear","offer_id":57146622706042,"sku":"TQ-TC-XL-0900","price":889.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"9'6 \/ Clear","offer_id":57146622738810,"sku":"TQ-TC-XL-0906","price":899.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"8'6 \/ Ice Blue","offer_id":57146622771578,"sku":"TQ-TC-XL-0806-T","price":929.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"9'0 \/ Ice Blue","offer_id":57146622804346,"sku":"TQ-TC-XL-0900-T","price":989.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/3126\/2842\/files\/Torq_TQ-TC-XL_Don_XL_Clear.webp?v=1785931548","url":"https:\/\/hartbeach.nl\/de\/products\/torq-the-don-xl-tec-fcs-ii-2-1-fin","provider":"Hart Beach","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
