Torq BigBoy Fish TEC - FCS II - 5 Fin

“Unless it’s 1ft, since I got this board the longboard stays in the van”

An extension of the classic Fish design, the Bigboy Fish mixes the hidden volume and manoeuvrability of the BigBoy 23 model with the flowy feel of a Fish.

With a wide template up front the Bigboy Fish is designed to paddle fast, catch waves and accelerate quickly. The straighter rail and wide swallow tail naturally offers tons of drive and forward projection, to deliver fast down the line speed and powerful rail turns.

Available with 5 fin plugs for a Quad or Thruster set up.

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.
