Even better: it speeds across it. Easy paddling, a fast ride, effortless glide, and the ability to blast the lip vertically, all in one board. The Dwart takes the basic elements of a modern fish and combines them with a few high-performance design techniques to elevate it to the next level. Do you want a board that can do it all? Then the Dwart is the best so far.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dwart is available in Torq ACT and TEC construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFin(s) included:\u003c\/strong\u003e None.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTEC Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTorq Epoxy Composite offers performance shapes in a vacuum epoxy layup. In vacuum epoxy, lamination is done by hand, after which a vacuum process binds the fiber to the board and removes excess resin. During this vacuum process, Torq uses a few tricks that maintain the resin content at a much better level than normally achievable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the benefits?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTorq can add extra layers of fiber while keeping the total weight low: the shortboards have 18oz fiber on the deck and 10oz on the bottom, about double what you find on most boards of the same weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is lightweight and durability at the same time. The weight is comparable to that of a PU, but there's a lot more fiber in it, and there are more layers to strengthen the rail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do they surf?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe performance is very direct: TEC reacts immediately, which works especially well in smaller or weaker waves. In bigger waves, the advantage is that they break much less quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're used to a PU, they will feel fast at first. After a few sessions, your old PU will feel very slow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTorq's team riders report that their boards last approximately 2 to 4 times longer than their previous boards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Torq\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTorq builds well-known shapes, including Rusty's models, in epoxy constructions that are light and remarkably strong. The brand is known for boards that last much longer than a classic PU without compromising on feel. Ideal if you spend many hours in the North Sea, which is why they are on the racks at Hart Beach.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Torq","offers":[{"title":"5'8\" \/ Clear","offer_id":57490884624762,"sku":"TQ-TC-RU-DW-0508-Hart","price":739.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/3126\/2842\/files\/TQ-TC-RU-DW_160c3023-5ce6-4db6-a9ea-ccab1abdaf42.webp?v=1785931548","url":"https:\/\/hartbeach.nl\/en\/products\/rusty-dwart-torq-tec-fcs-ii-5-fin-shortboard","provider":"Hart Beach","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
