Urban Surf is excited to announce Torq Surfboards as one of our newest surfboard suppliers! Just 7 years ago, Torq shared their first ever stronger, lighter, game-changing epoxy surfboard to the globe and since then have grown consistently with customers from Hawaii to the Outerbanks, Gold Coast to the Eisbach. Why? Well lets take a look at the components that are gathering surfers of all levels and areas to float across the water specifically on a Torq. 

From 2012 to now, Torq has been working with their factory to create a successful quiver for someone learning, progressing, or competing. Through this, they have created 5 uniquely different epoxy construction surfboards to choose from.

1. ACT (Advanced Composite Technology) is a new composite technology courtesy of Torq where they have pre-impregnated the glass fiber weave with resin and hardener under high pressure and high temperature resulting in the strongest laminate form possible. With this and their factories using a production system with less waste and more accuracy allows for an advantage in ACT boards ratio of flex/strength to weight. 

2. TEC (Torq Epoxy Composite) offers the most advanced epoxy layup to date using features such as a carbon filament stringer and deck patch for additional strength and ding resistance. These TEC boards are at the very top of the market for their strength to weight ratio. 

3. X-Lite is a molded epoxy technology that is stronger and more eco friendly than your traditional polyester surfboard. Making them in exclusively Channel Islands surfboards, specifically the POD MOD and the Chancho, X-Lite is lighter and stronger with a new shield skin that is 50% thinner and added features similar to the TEC such as some boards offering carbon stringers and deck patches for added strength and pop. 

4. TET  (Torq Epoxy Technology) is a revolutionary epoxy surfboard design featuring the latest in epoxy materials. Combining a lightweight epoxy foam core with biaxial fiberglass cloth, epoxy resin, and Torq's unique shield skin, TET construction offers a lightweight/strong board with great flex and an incredible price point.
