Torq ACT Multiplier Surfboard

Description

Torq ACT Multiplier Surfboard

The Multiplier is a performance board designed to multiply your wave count.

We blended the tail from our high-performance Thruster model with a slightly lower rocker nose, while keeping the rail and foil low. The resulting hybrid catches waves easily, but also gains speed much more quickly than a narrow nosed shortboard and with a razor-sharp responsive tail to use it!

What is ACT Construction

• Pre-preg is short for pre-impregnated. The resin and catalyst are applied by machine to the fiberglass cloth to create a fiber resin matrix.
• The matrix has perfect resin hardener mix and perfect resin content and distribution.
• The matrix is cut by machine (we have cutting files for each of our models and sizes, so the exact correct fiber and resin weight is used on every board) then laid up on the surfboard form and cured under high heat and pressure in an oven.

Reflex or spring:

• Hand laminates, even when vacuum bagged, end up with a significant amount of excess resin. This adds weight, increases brittleness and limits the fibers properties as its bound in a thick shell.
• Pre-pregs are machine impregnated with the perfect resin density. Regardless of what fiber is used glass, carbon, basalt – the pre-preg process allow fiber to perform without the limitation of excess resin.
• In surfboards this translates to a springy responsive feeling. Any flex that is pushed into the board through a turn is directly returned in reflex, not deadened by the resin. They give back all the energy loaded into them. Because the board is allowed to flex naturally, they absorb a lot more of the chatter than can be associated with lightweight epoxy boards.

Strength to weight ratio.

• The other advantage of no extra unnecessary weight of excess resin is the extra amount of fiber we can use, for the same overall board weight. ACTs have a heavy-duty fiber lay-up making them significantly stronger than a similar weight surfboard in any other construction.
• We have 2-3 times the fiber in these boards for the same weight of a lightweight PU. Theyre not our strongest boards but have much greater strength to weight ratio.

How do they surf?

• They feel alive from the get-go.
• The feel is between a light PU and Epoxy with an extra spring not found in either technology. They feel pretty familiar to both so take very little time to adapt to. But once used to, any other board feels flat by comparison.
