Horseshoe TEC

Torq

Description

Drawing on 60 years of classic longboard design the Horseshoe is a distinguished ride. It’s the luxury ocean liner, it’s first class all the way. The low rocker, wide and straight outline and 50/50 rail are combined to create a board that trims effortlessly. The wide, single concaved nose is designed to generate lift creating ample nose riding stability. In the tail, the rocker lifts slightly through the last 12″ and the fin cluster is positioned slightly forward, which makes this much easier to turn than a traditional heavy noserider. If you are looking for a classic noserider, without the weight of a traditional board, that will trim and glide, noseride easily but still turn, then this is your ride. Construction: TEC – TORQ EPOXY COMPOSITE Torq Epoxy Composite offers performance shapes in our state-of-the-art epoxy layup. These boards have the best balance of Lightweight versus Durability. Using our own unique lamination process, we are able to use a very strong fiberglass lay-up of 6oz and 4oz combined in 3 layered deck and 2 layered base (with a 4 layered rail lap) with a high density EPS foam, but still achieve a board weight that matches a lightweight fiberglass lay-up. The result is light but very strong board, with good flex characteristics and as with all torq’s, excellent value for money. The TEC shortboards have 2 full layers of fiber over the deck and bottom. On the deck we use an extra 6oz deck patch with gives triple layer ding resistance, but doesn’t resist the flex along the rail. The addition of a carbon filament stringer and UD carbon twin strips on the base makes these super springy and responsive.
