Torq ACT Big Boy
This is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. This is a funboard on steroids: on paper it’s 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 – it’s 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!”.

ACT:
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.

The Mini Magic Dual-Core is a scaled down version of Walden's famous Magic Model. This is a good choice for a smaller surfer, people who are transitioning from a shortboard to a longboard or vice versa - longboarders wanting to go shorter while still maintaining some volume and float. The Dual-Core gives the Mini Magic the best of both style of constructions with PolyUrethane on the rails and EPS in the Center. The PU foam is laminated to the EPS with a TPU material which provides more pop and response.
Like the bigger Magic Model the hull has a unique design, the front 1/2 of the hull is concave, this single concave transitions into a double concave in the rear 1/3 and ends towards the tail that has a moderate “V”. The rails are hard. The concave nose adds lift and stability, perfect for nose riding. The double concaved hull and hard rails make the board fast, stabile, responsive and maneuverable in all conditions. This board performs as well as slow surf as it does on speedy beach breaks. The Mini Magic maneuvers well out of turns while maintaining a forgiving nature, and is an excellent nose rider too.***Fins Not Included

Torq Tec Big Boy 23
This is a funboard on steroids! For this concept Torq used the overall plan shape of a minimal/funboard and boosted the width and volume along the length and foil. The result is a manageable, easy turning length with the paddle and float of a much larger board.
For improving surfers, this offers stability, paddle power and wave catching ability. For heavier surfers you'll find the float you need in a much shorter length. The single to double concave means you can still put this board on a rail.
With 5 Futures fin boxes, the BigBoy 23 can be ridden as Quad or Thruster.

Technology:
Since 2012 Torq have developed a name for industry leading Epoxy technology, offering performance and durability for the premium recreational surfer. By using optimised techniques widely used in composite technologies the TEC range takes that one step further; creating a board with an incredible strength to weight ratio and torsional flex properties.
The Torq Epoxy Composite (TEC) uses a 3 x 6oz lay-up and carbon fibre tail reinforcement on the deck for maximum strength. The bottom features a carbon torsion strip to control flex and give a responsive spring from turns.
This ground breaking technology has been applied to our user friendly performance shapes used in the Torq PU/Polyester range, to produce a truly high performance range of surfboards with unrivalled durability.$999.00 -

The Modern Falcon is now available in TMRW TECH construction - blending mid-length versatility with materials engineered to tread lighter on the planet. This board features a durable, flexible 100% recycled TPU outer shell, a shaped core wrapped in fiberglass and bio-epoxy resin. It rides with the familiar flow and responsiveness of traditional PU, but it’s built to handle the knocks and pressures that often sideline other boards. The result is a longer-lasting board that stays in your quiver and out of the landfill. Even the fin boxes and leash plug are made from recycled plastic and the entire board is precision-molded to minimise waste.
The Falcon’s smooth outline, fuller nose, and balanced rocker make it a go-to option across a wide range of conditions. Ideal for surfers stepping down from a longboard or those looking to add glide and stability to their quiver as they progress to an intermediate level. It paddles easily, trims effortlessly and responds when it’s time to draw clean, carving turns.
OUTLINE: The wide point is forward to enhance trim stability from a central stance position, and the streamlined nose gives the outline a contemporary vibe. The back half of the board tapers steadily towards the tail for easier turning in smaller waves, and to heighten control in slightly larger waves.CONTOURS: The rocker strikes a balance between paddle speed and just enough nose/tail lift for accessing steeper parts of the wave. Forward vee running to vee/double concave between the feet allows for very smooth rail transitions and a responsive feel when standing further back.
FOIL: Designed with plenty of volume through the spine for appropriate buoyancy and stability. The taper at the tips provides better performance sensitivity when riding on the wave face.
PERFORMANCE: The dual-purpose nature of the Falcon offers a stable and cruisy ride for surfers coming off a softboard or bigger longboard. Alternatively, more capable riders will find a surprising amount of speed a response when adopting a more aggressive approach.
The Modern Falcon is a reliable, and affordable board that will feature prominently in your quiver. Comes as a thruster with Futures plugs. Fins Not included.
