Surfboard RUSTY TEC SD Shortboard 5.10

The origins of The SD are well documented. In June 2016, we delivered a board to Stab for one of their Shapers Series (Stab in the Dark) to be filmed in South Africa later that summer. I wasn't sure who the Pro was. 6'0 190lbs. Maybe Jordy? But he's a bit taller. I built a modified Yes Thanks. One of Josh Kerr's models. #46. Puffed up the Yes Thanks, a little. Moved the thickness flow, and balance point, a little forward. Fairly deep single that zeroed out under the rear fin and finished with a slight vee in the tail. Smooth curve that accelerated towards the tail. 6'0, 19.75, 2.58, 33 Liters. The mystery surfer turned out to be Dane Reynolds. "It felt quite a bit different from the other boards I've been riding,” remarked Dane. "It's got a low rocker, hard edges, and a pinched deck. I wasn't too excited to try it because of the giant snakeskin band along the rail and this formless tail. It just doesn't look that cool. But I was surprised. It had a lot of speed and drive. It felt like a good board. I got a couple of barrels on it but I couldn't really do a turn.” "As it turns out Rusty wasn't the only one experiencing a little identity confusion. Dane actually thought the board was a Creed McTaggart model cut by the hand of Hayden Cox. Dane surfed the board with solid authority… and ripped. A few months later, my son, Clint, named it the SD. Tweaked it a little. Added a bit of rocker. For the last years, it has been one of our most popular designs.

TEC - TORQ EPOXY COMPOSITE
Torq Epoxy Composite offers performance shapes in our state-of-the-art epoxy layup. These boards have the best balance of Lightweight versus Durability. Using our own unique lamination process, we are able to use a very strong fiberglass lay-up of 6oz and 4oz combined in 3 layered deck and 2 layered base (with a 4 layered rail lap) with a high density EPS foam, but still achieve a board weight that matches a lightweight fiberglass lay-up.
The result is light but very strong board, with good flex characteristics and as with all torq's excellent value.
