With another of Gary's boards, the CV2, as my go to for much of the last 2 years (still holding up amazing), and trying it out as a twinnie, I figured I had to get myself one of these Rasta Torus Twins. This board is so lively and fast, rockets out of stretched out turns, and goes off the top quite well. I've enjoyed it in barely 1ft stuff (although it, and I, prefers a bit more juice) along with more sizeable 4-5ft surf and everything in between. The belly channels give it plenty of hold when jetting across bigger stuff with lively release when you'd expect it from a twin fin. This board loves a clean, stretched out face to go lightning fast, but will also do a decent job on junkier stuff, and slower stuff. My board is built with the flax cloth/bio resin/recycled foam option, and after maybe 100hrs on it, still no dings and what feels like, only the slightest pressure marks across the deck. I started off riding this board with the Tyler Warren upright twins, felt quite stable but also didnt quite provide the release. I also rode the Chris Christenson Keels, which gave it good speed, especially in smaller stuff. I then got the Rasta Twins+1 set, and haven't ridden anything else, the fins are so fast and feel excellent in the board, if you're looking for fins for this board, the Rasta Twins+1 are a strong recommendation from me (makes sense...), the V2 foil on the fins enhances the whole speed aspect and suits the build greatly.

Fast, loves being put on rail and hits warps speed through long cutbacks. I've ridden mine with both Futures EN twins and Rasta keels and whilst the more upright ENs make it fun for punchy beachies the board definitely suits the keel fin much better. A lot of fun in 2-4ft beachies but the thing is magic on a point break when it get 4ft+ Only negative is I ordered custom dims to fit it down to a 5'7 and maintain volume. After riding the board for 2 years I should have ordered Gary's standard dims in 5'8 or 5'9, I think the slightly long rail line and thinner foil would be epic! She will not be leaving my quiver. Ever...

Didn’t paddle as well as I would have liked/relative to other boards in my quiver, possibly due to the Torus channel. Once on the wave it’s fine. Surfs great on the backhand for a twin fin, seems to have a lot of ‘grip’ and not slide out too much! Takes abit if adjusting to get used to the channel but after a few surfs its epic.

This board was great had it for almost 2 years now and have rode it to death in a massive variety of conditions. Great glassing job which is probably why it's lasted so long. Very fast and drivey with the futures K2 keel fins and not skatey at all which I like. It really handles a lot of different types of waves and was my one board quiver for a while. Would recommend!

Having seen Rasta and Dane tearing on this board I wanted to give it a go, I have always loved quads but the RTT is faster with more drive, with a big set of fins this board is crazy fast but with hold as well, I surf this board like a quad or thruster and it feels the same. I ride this board more than any other in Sydney, it’s still short so I can fit it into smaller pockety rip bowls but loves an open wall as well. I’ve had a lot of standard glass job boards that have really worn out in a few seasons, this one has a decent amount of glass and after a year still looks and rides the same as new.

After trying a few different modern fish models in the past 5 years or so and having a great experience with another one of Gary’s models (the Entity), I ordered a custom shape of The Torus Twin and was not disappointed. Paddles well, holds in decent size waves, turns beautifully and goes like a rocket! Well worth the investment.

Extremely fun surfboard! Performs better than a standard retro twin. Get a bit of extra thickness as the hull channel takes a bit out but gives it better responsiveness. Took a bit to figure out which fins I liked best but shes goes in anything!

In my opinion its an amazing twin fin with more performance then you'd think. If you like high performance surfing and want a high performance twin, this is the board.

Have had this board about 4yrs now and has never disappointed. Possibly the funnest board in my quiver. Easy to paddle, all over it when it's small and everyone else is struggling to catch waves and a thrill to ride in bigger stuff. Love this board, have 3 sets of fins to change things up, would get another but this one's still going.
