Torq Summer Fish TEC - FCS II - 5 Fin

"There's no such thing as bad surf."

Our Summer Fish is short but wide with hidden volume; paddling is so easy it feels like you’re cheating. But with a drawn in swallow tail that’s lively and responsive. Those small summer waves become a playground of ramps and little power pockets that connect through little flats and fun bowl sections. It opens your eyes to a whole new skate park in the line-up.

It’s such a versatile board – small waves, onshore days, first shortboard, step down for a longboard. No matter, this is the board that proves the old saying – there’s no such thing as bad surf.

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.
