Torq Tec The Don Nose Rider
Torq Tec The Don Nose Rider 9'1"
BEST OF BOTH WORLDS
The Don Nose Rider is a mix of our all round performance Don model with a more traditional Noserider. Up front is a wide nose, low entry rocker and teardrop concave – a sure fire combination for stability and tip time. But unlike a traditional noserider with soft rolled rails and vee bottom, the Don NR combines a hard rail and double concave vee in the tail of a more modern longboard.
This combination blends the best of a traditional noserider with the best of a modern longboard in a lightweight, super strong epoxy package. Turns out you can please all the people all the time.

Appealing to those who are looking for more volume and better glide than a funboard, but aren??t interested in a full-size longboard. Great performance in thigh-high to slightly over head-high waves, this board is a tremendous wave catcher.
A low entry rocker gets you moving and provides the glide needed on smaller, weaker days. We packaged just enough tail rocker to allow it to perform in quick beach breaks or as the surf increases.Specs.

The Jive+ is derived from the original performance based Jive model. It’s still a sleek-lined trimming machine, and by all accounts should be considered a responsive longboard. With the updated additions we’ve taken many of the original Jive features and added a tad more volume for broader usability.
OUTLINE: The sleek outline has a slightly pulled in tail for better drive and acceleration from the taken off, and tighter arching turns on the face. The slightly straighter outline forward of centre increases the width up front to create that speed and long nose riding capabilities.
ROCKER: With an emphasis on being an “All Rounder”, the Jive+ has a medium rocker with a flat panel through the mid section. This makes the board paddle with ease and flow through those dead sections with minimal effort. A slight lift in the nose makes late take-offs easier and also helps with extended nose riding. The slight increase in tail curve gives opportunity for tighter arcs when jamming harder off your back foot.
CONTOURS: Subtle yet effective, the slight concave in the nose creates lift while hanging those toes over. Its flatter midsection creates speed and trim stability, and the subtle rolled vee through the back half makes for silky smooth rail-to-rail transitions.
PERFORMANCE: An ‘All-Rounder’ that’s very user friendly and accomodating to a range of demographics. The Jive+ paddles amazing, trims with a bunch of speed, and will turn whenever and wherever you want it to go. With its improvements in the front half, we’ve made it really enjoyable to ride up front, yet still super responsive when banking a nice turn. From flat to double overhead, this is one of the funnest longboards your ever ride. Enjoy!
Comes with a 2 + 1 fin setup with custom CA single fin template. Simply add side bites to enhance control and manoeuvrability.

ALL THE TRICKS IN THE BOX
Modern longboarding has a variety of skill and style that is hard to compare in any other sport. Depending on the surfer, or the wave, or the board, it can be a dance or a martial art. It can be light footed poise or powerful drive, straight line trim or vertical snaps, nose rides or carves. A true modern high performance longboard has to be capable of all of these things.
The Don is stable on the nose, straight and fast through the middle and lively in the tail. The Don XL is higher volumed version of the Don for heavier surfers, slightly more nose oriented to enable more stable nose riding, but still super responsive in the tail. The added advantage of the Torq TEC construction; lightweight, strong and super responsive makes the wide repertoire of moves easier and more dynamic.

Known by many as the “Father of the Modern Longboard,” Steve Walden shaped his first surfboard in 1961, at age 13, and never looked back. Eight years later, the native Southern Californian opened his first board factory and store in Huntington Beach, then moved to the North Shore of Oahu in 1972, where he made a name for himself as a prolific longboard shaper.
