TORQ Surfboard ACT Multipler

Multiply your wave count

Sizes: 5'11 | 6'3 | 6'6 | 6'10 | 7'2
 

The Multiplier is a performance board designed to multiply your wave count. TORQ blended the tail from our high performance Thruster model with a wider slightly lower rockered nose, while keeping the rail and foil low. The resulting hybrid catches waves easily, but also gains speed much more quickly than a traditional narrow nosed shortboard and with a razor sharp responsive tail to use it. Comfortable in waves from 2-6ft this is an all round shredder that will maximise your surf time.

Technology

Torq ACT surfboards are the world’s first EPS/Epoxy Pre-Preg surfboards. The technological advantages are immense, but the most significant advantage is 100% controlled process with ZERO surplus resin. On any surfboard the resin’s function is to hold the fiber in place. It offers little structural integrity of it’s own, little flex and little impact strength. As a material without the fiber it is heavy and brittle. Any surplus resin is dead weight - resisting flex, adding weight.

With Pre-Preg process the perfect amount of resin is added to the cloth by machine, before the shaped blank is laid up - zero surplus, zero dead weight. ‘Pre-Preg’ means the glass fiber weave is pre-impregnated with resin and hardener (kept cold to prevent curing). This fiber resin material is called a Pre-Preg ‘matrix’ which is cured under high pressure and high temperature in a fully controlled environment. This ‘baking’ process results in the strongest form of laminate. As well as controlling the lamination and curing process, Pre-Preg means the resin content can be 100% controlled - the perfect amount of resin is in the fiber on application. It is the most controlled, most accurate composite fiberglass process, with minimal wastage.

The result is greatest strength to weight ratio. Typically strong boards are heavy and light boards are weak. Torq ACT boards have a super strong 4oz+4oz lay up on deck with a full bamboo sandwich layer and a fiberglass rail band but they weigh around the same as a light glassed PU board. Most importantly, they respond better. The feel of these boards is like no other surfboard - they are incredibly responsive. The unhindered flex and zero dead weight means all of the energy that you put through your feet is delivered into the turn with none of the ‘deadening’ effect from the resin.
