Torq The Don HP 9'1

The sporty one in Torq's Don longboard family. Slimmer and lighter than a classic longboard, so it turns sharply, but you can still walk up to the nose when the wave lets you.

Torq slimmed the outline and the foil (how the thickness spreads along the board), lowered the rails and added a little more rocker. That makes it sharp for modern longboarding: turning off the bottom and the top rather than only gliding.

This one is the 9'1 at 63 litres, in wood and black.
