Torq Comp2 TEC - FCS II - 3 Fin - Shortboard

“My go-to for good waves at home, whether it’s small conditions with some power or heavy waves.” – Edouard Delpero

For the original Comp, Torq developed a true shortboard that performs in a much wider range of conditions: a board that effortlessly generates speed, accelerates quickly, and transitions smoothly from rail to rail.

The Comp2 continues that development. By adding more volume in the larger sizes, speed generation has improved through buoyancy and planing speed. To harness that extra speed, the rocker has been adjusted for easier directional changes – meaning more power and more critical turns.

Fins included: None.

Construction - TEC

Torq Epoxy Composite offers performance shapes in a vacuum epoxy lay-up. With vacuum epoxy, the board is laminated by hand and then vacuum-bonded, ensuring the fiber adheres well to the board and excess resin is removed. Torq uses a few tricks in this vacuum process that keep the resin content much lower than normally achievable.

What are the advantages?

Extra layers of fiber can be added while keeping the total weight low – Torq’s shortboards have 18oz fiber on the deck and 10oz on the bottom, roughly double what most boards of the same weight have.

The result is both light and durable. The weight is comparable to a PU, but it contains much more fiber and more layers that reinforce the rails.

How do they surf?

The performance is very direct – TEC responds immediately, which is especially nice in smaller or weaker waves. In bigger waves, the advantage is that they break much less easily.

If you're used to a PU, they feel fast at first. After a few sessions, your old PU will feel very slow. Torq's team riders report that their boards last about 2 to 4 times longer than their previous boards.

About Torq

Torq builds epoxy surfboards known for their strong constructions and well-thought-out shapes, from performance shortboards to accessible all-rounders. The boards are built to withstand intensive use while maintaining a lively feel. This makes them a logical choice for the variable conditions of the North Sea and for the rack at Hart Beach.
