Pro surfer and world champion Edouard Delpero and shaper Alain Minvielle worked on this shape.
The first ED Pro was a narrow, competition-ready shape with high rocker that allowed for vertical surfing and tight riding right in the pocket. The Minvielle ED Pro Wide is an evolution of this shape—designed to meet WSL scoring criteria—a high-performance longboard with exceptional noseriding capabilities, featuring slightly more width in the mid-section and a fuller nose. Although the board has slightly more swing weight, it massively increases the glide surface in the nose to enable long, stable noserides. This also improves speed on the water and makes it easier to catch waves.
The tail retains its high rocker profile to get up off the bottom quickly or carve a solid rail turn.
This is my go-to board for this year’s WSL World Longboard Tour

TEC - TORQ EPOXY COMPOSITE
Torq Epoxy Composite delivers high-performance shapes using our state-of-the-art epoxy layup. These boards offer the best balance between lightness and durability. Using our own unique lamination process, we’re able to incorporate a very strong fiberglass layup consisting of 6oz and 4oz in a three-ply deck and a two-ply bottom (with a four-layer rail overlap) combined with high-density EPS foam, while still achieving a board weight comparable to that of a lightweight fiberglass layup.
The result is a lightweight yet very stable board with good flex characteristics and, as with all torq boards, an excellent price-to-performance ratio.
