TEC Surfboard: The Don in White

Torq TEC Surfboard: The Don in White

Overheard in the Tiki boardroom:

‘The Don’s a versatile longboard… but definitely has performance surfing in mind. So if you’re looking for something to use in the knee to waist high range, you'd probably want a more of a traditional long board for that. In all honesty, compared the the NR ad XL iterations of the Don, The OG & HP Don’s are a bit of a blade, so if you’re planning on riding it in larger waves, you’ll feel the board come alive. That’s when you’ll get the most out of it…’

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.
