ACT Don NR Surfboard
Torq ACT Don NR Surfboard
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.
Construction
Torq ACT surfboards are the worlds 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 resins function is to hold the fiber in place. It offers little structural integrity of its 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.
Usually you can have strength, light weight or a good price. In ACT, you can have all three.
ACT boards have a super strong 2 x 4oz + Bamboo reinforcement on the deck and a 6oz + 4oz lay-up on the bottom, but they weigh around the same as a light glassed PU board.
Most importantly; they respond better. The feel of these boards is like no other surfboard – they are incredibly responsive. The unhindered flex and zero dead weight means all of the energy that you put through your feet is delivered into the turn with none of the deadening effect from the resin.
