DOES EVERYTHING AND MORE: Like it’s name sake the Go-Kart is super fast, agile and designed for fast acceleration and cornering. Our team riders tested this in all conditions from windy and waist high to overhead and hollow. It’s a board that does everything and more - airs, turns, barrels and still with a bit of float to skate on the weaker days. If you’re looking for a board that surfs like a shortboard but without the limitations of a normal shortboard, this is for you.
“It’s really easy board to ride and the tech feels alive, fast and loose, which is the best combo in a board. It holds a nice rail through carves, too.” - Damien Fahrenfort
Construction - TEC
Torq Epoxy Composite (TEC) offers performance shapes in our vacuum epoxy layup. Vacuum epoxy uses a hand lay-up process, with a vacuum bonding process to bind the fiber to the board and remove excess resin. We have a few tricks in the vacuum process that keeps the resin content at a much better level than can usually be achieved.
What are the benefits?
We can add extra layers of fiber while keeping the overall weight down – our shortboards have 18oz of fiber on the deck and 10oz on the base – approximately double of the fiber found on most boards of the same weight.
The result is lightweight AND durability. The weight is similar to a PU but we have a lot more fiber and more layers to reinforce the rail.
How do they surf?
The performance is very direct – TEC has an immediate response that is especially good in smaller or weaker waves. In larger waves the advantage is they are a lot less likely to break.
If you’re used to PU they feel quick at first. After a few surfs, your old PU will feel very slow!
Our team rider’s report their boards outlasting their previous boards by around 2-4 times longer.
