I can hold the noseride for longer and get quickly back to the pocket when the wave slows down” - Edouard Delpero.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA pig shape moves the wide point back from center creating 2 distinct advantages: the broad tail anchors better in the curl supporting noserides instead of relying on the wide planing area at the front of a typical noserider shape. This smaller nose area makes pigs more responsive on the nose for small adjustments and technical nose riding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe other effect is the hip in the plan shape; the curving of the outline in the last 3rd of the board. This creates a much more responsive turning point than the usual straight railed traditional noseriders allowing much quicker directional changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Minvielle ED Pig also features a knifed deck rail in the tail to keep the thickness under your feet, but makes a super responsive rail shape to manouver a large board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFin(s) included:\u003c\/strong\u003e None.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction - TEC\u003c\/strong\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":"9'4 \/ Clear","offer_id":57146663108986,"sku":"TQ-TC-ECP-0904","price":1049.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"9'4 \/ Dark Blue","offer_id":57146663141754,"sku":"TQ-TC-ECP-0904-T","price":1149.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/3126\/2842\/files\/TQ-TC-ECP-TTorqTECDelperoPigDarkBlue.webp?v=1785931684","url":"https:\/\/hartbeach.nl\/en\/products\/torq-delpero-pig-tec-single-fin","provider":"Hart Beach","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
