Torq Summer 5

What we have to say about the Summer 5 surfboard!

The summer grovel machine at a super reasonable price. Those thigh high summer days that never got you stoked much before will now leave a smile on your face. Get in early with a lot of volume under your chest and then fly down the line. Flat, wide and fast with 5 fin boxes giving you a variety of fin configurations to optimize your session. We recommend it with a grovel quad fin set or a keel twin fin set for maximum speed in small waves. When the waves get bigger, throw in a third fin for more hold or go for a quad set with more hold.

Here is what Torq has to say about the Summer 5:

We should have called this model the stoke machine! This board is so damn fun. It’s a full on smile generator.

It’s short but wide with hidden volume; paddling is so easy it feels like you’re cheating. Those small summer waves become a playground of ramps and little power pockets that connect through little flats and fun bowl sections. It opens your eyes to a whole new skate park in the line-up.

It’s such a versatile board – small waves, onshore days, first shortboard, step down for a longboard. No matter, this is the board that proves the old saying – there’s no such thing as bad surf.
