Classic Longboarding with Modern Refinement
The Delpero Classic was developed by Edouard Delpero and Alain Minvielle around the flow and glide of classic 1960s longboarding. Rather than simply reproducing a traditional shape, they incorporated a more modern bottom line to give the board additional maneuverability while maintaining its classic character.
The result is a longboard intended for surfers who want to cross-step, trim, noseride and cruise while retaining the ability to turn the board with control.
Designed for Noseriding and Glide
Rocker and volume distribution are key parts of the Delpero Classic design. Torq shapes the rocker to help the board maintain noserides in the pocket while still providing glide through smaller conditions.
Volume is distributed from a thicker nose toward a thinner tail. This provides useful foam forward while allowing the rear of the board to remain more responsive when transitioning from trim into turns.
9'2 x 23" x 3 1/8" – 77.2 Liters
At 9'2" x 23" x 3 1/8" and 77.2 liters, the Delpero Classic provides the length and volume expected from a full-size longboard. Its dimensions support the glide and stability needed for classic longboard surfing while the shape is designed to retain maneuverability from the tail.
Torq Epoxy Technology Construction
This Sage Green Delpero Classic is the TET version of the model. Torq Epoxy Technology combines a lightweight EPS core with biaxial fiberglass cloth, epoxy resin and Torq's Shield Skin construction.
Torq developed TET around a combination of durability, strength and accessible performance, making it well suited to a longboard intended for regular sessions.
Single Fin Longboard Setup
This Delpero Classic uses a single-fin configuration, keeping the setup aligned with the board's classic longboarding focus. A single fin complements a surfing style centered around smooth lines, trim, cross-stepping and noseriding.
A fin is included with this board.
Sage Green Delpero Classic
This board comes in Torq's Sage Green colorway. The Sage version is part of Torq's TET Delpero Classic range, pairing the model's traditional-inspired shape with Torq's durable epoxy construction.
Who Is the Delpero Classic For?
The Delpero Classic is worth considering for surfers looking for a full-size longboard with an emphasis on classic-style surfing. Its design is focused on glide, cross-stepping and noseriding while maintaining enough maneuverability to turn and reposition the board as the wave changes.
At 77.2 liters, this is a substantial board, but volume alone should not determine sizing. Surfer weight, experience, fitness, preferred waves and longboarding style should all be considered when choosing a board.
