ShortText:

The PodMod is a heavily updated version of the original Pod, which became a global best-seller in the early 2000s for its ability to offer performance in a smaller, more playful shape. The PodMod takes that concept further – adding more width and volume up front for better paddling and easier entry, without sacrificing speed or agility.

The wider tail and updated bottom contour – from single to double concave to a flat entry + vee through the fins – allow for fast rail-to-rail transitions and fluid riding in small to medium waves. This board is ideal for experienced surfers looking for a compact shape that still glides well and responds quickly.

Made in Torq's X-Lite epoxy construction, the PodMod is lighter, stronger, and more eco-conscious than standard PU boards – combining durability with modern flex characteristics.

With 5 Futures fin boxes, the board can be configured as either Thruster or Quad, depending on wave type and rider preference.
