Torq ACT Big Boy Surfboard I WAS SMILING SO MUCH I GOT SUNBURNT TEETH! This is a wolf in sheeps clothing. The dark horse, charlatan, imposter. You think you're looking at a funboar d? Think again. This is a funboard on steroids. This is Jekyll and Hyde. On paper its a funboard and if you're looking to catch green waves and do some turns, the width, volume and length means this board will do it all day long its perfect for you. But in the hands of a seasoned surfer it'll come alive. Think of it as a shortboard with a little extra width in the nose but all the performance features to surf hard and fast. One customer genuinely told us I was smiling so much I got sunburnt teeth! For any big guy rippers out there, longboarders wanting a shorter board or intermediates, look no further. Construction Usually you can have strength, light weight or a good price. In ACT, you can have all three. ACT boards have a super strong 2 x 4oz + Bamboo reinforcement on the deck and a 6oz + 4oz lay-up on the bottom, 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. Torq ACT surfboards are the worlds 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 resins function is to hold the fiber in place. It offers little structural integrity of its 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.
