Shape:
Basierend auf dem Channel Islands Pod ist der Pod Mod ein moderner Fish, der extrem viel Volumen im mittleren und vorderen Teil hat. Kombiniert wird das mit einem sehr flachen Rocker und etwas mehr Breite im Tail als beim Original für maximale Gleitfreude. Die Outline ist sehr elliptisch mit einer leichten Hip im Tail, was radikale Turns auch in engen Pockets ermöglicht. Das Single-to-Double-Concave mit V-Bottom hinter den Finnen ist für Drive und smoothes Rail-to-Rail surfen optimiert.

SurferInnen und Bedingungen:
Spaß am Surfen und leichtes Wellen Catchen, auch wenn die Wellen mal wieder nicht so druckvoll sind, ist das Credo des Pod Mods. Als moderner Fish liebt er kleine Wellen und verbindet gekonnt nutzerfreundliche Elemente für einfaches Angleiten der Welle mit performance orientierten Elementen für maximale Drehfreude. Die optimale Wellenrange würden wir als knie- bis ca. kopfhoch umschreiben. Die kurzen Längen sind sehr gut als Sommer Grovel Boards für Shortboard-erfahrene, fortgeschrittene Surfer geeignet (wobei wir fortgeschrittenen SurferInnen eher hochwertigere, besser flexende Bauweisen empfehlen würden). Die 6’6’’ Variante ist vor allem als Übergangslösung zwischen Malibu und Shortboard oder auch als Einsteigerboard für heranwachsende jugendliche SurferInnen interessant.

Alternativen:
Mit dem TET Epoxy Fish hat Torq eine noch etwas günstigere und robustere Alternative im Programm. Anspruchsvolle, fortgeschrittene SurferInnen können den Pod Mod bei uns auch als Custom Bestellung in den hochwertigeren Channel Islands Polyester oder Spine-tek Bauweisen bestellen. Alternative Fish Shapes mit guten Grovel Eigenschaften aus unserem Shop Rack sind u.a. der Firewire Seaside, Pyzel Astro Pop, Lib Tech Lost RNF96, Lost California Twin, Sharpeye Modern II oder das Channel Islands Bobby Quad.

Bauweise:
X-Lite Epoxy - Wird exklusiv für die Channel Islands Shapes der Torq Reihe verwendet. Basiert auf der TET-CS Konstruktion mit leichtem EPS Kern, Epoxy Glassing mit Holzfurnier im Deck, Carbon Stripes entlang der Center Line und äußerer Kunststoff Schutzschicht. Diese ist hier aber dünner und 50% leichter als bei den TET Bauweisen von Torq. Gleichzeitig ist sie deutlich robuster, aber auch steifer als “normal” geglaste Surfboards ohne Sandwich Schicht. Zu empfehlen ist diese Bauweise für Anfänger und leicht Fortgeschrittene, die ein günstiges, stabiles und pflegeleichtes Board suchen.

Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid
Format: Paperback
Star Wars: The Screaming Citadel is a crossover collection of the main Star Wars comic series and the Doctor Aphra series. The Arc revolves around the Queen of The Screaming Citadel being the only one who can open a relic containing an ancient Jedi master. Aphra then teams up with Luke Skywalker and we have our crossover event. The story itself is good. A queen with parasitic bugs controlling a planet is uncharted territory for Star Wars and it works. There were great action moments, plots painting the Empire in a morally grey light than the traditional evil one. Doctor Aphra Marvel's golden girl character was funny in this and her chemistry with Luke worked. It didn't feel forced like Marvel was trying to use the Original Characters to build-up their new ones. Where this comic fails is the inconsistent art style as this is a collection you get different art with each issue. Its starts of good and then takes a nosedive in the Aphra issue in the volume. Bad art aside Screaming Citadel was an enjoyable crossover. Doctor Aphra is the best new character to come out of this new Marvel Disney run. Screaming Citadel is worth the read it was a nice crossover that delves more into the Fantasy elements of Star Wars and works as Star Wars has been Space Wizards since 1977.

What a ride.
Format: Paperback
How these two come together with the rest of the iconic characters is just so fun. Add in a Screaming Citadel and you're in for one hell of a ride. If you love Star Wars, pick it up. It could read as a stand-alone if needed. Part of the Doctor Aphra comics.

Absolutely top-knotch
Format: Kindle
9.5/10 This is the pinnacle of Star Wars comic books. A great way to tie in their Indiana Jones character in Aphra and the mainline series to tell an amazing story. Only complaint is a couple of the issues artwork I was not a fan of. I like the more realistic look. Just make sure you read Aphra book 1 and the previous SW books to understand it better. Aphra book 1 being more important

Star Wars embraces fantasy
Format: Paperback
This is Star Wars at its' strangest, and that's a very good thing. Luke and co. fighting through what could easily be Dracula's castle is a truly unique experience. I don't wish to say more for fear of spoilers. As a note though you will get more out of this if you've been following the Star Wars and Dr. Aphra comics. However you can get by without that knowledge as well.

Gothic Star Wars
Format: Paperback
This trade paperback collects all the issues for the Screaming Citadel story spread over several titles, including the main stay Star Wars series and the Dr Aphra book. As one might expect from a story spread over different titles with different artists and writers, the presentation varies. The art is all over the place. In the Marco Checchetto-drawn initial issue, everyone’s favorite amoral artifact hunter, Dr Aphra, is a striking space vixen. But in the following issues she’s hardly recognizable as the same character--mousier, if still menacing, in her trademark Russian tanker’s hat. To a lesser degree, the same is true for the other characters, including the main SW group. It’s understandable, but a bit disconcerting. The story centers on Dr Aphra, who, in need of a Jedi for one of her typically nefarious purposes, recruits Luke into her scheme. Unfortunately for Aphra, she’s up against a more ruthless foe in the harlequin-looking vampire-like Queen of the Screaming Citadel. Before long, the rest of the group has to show up to rescue them. It’s a gothic story, set in scary castle—not the usual Star Wars fare. There are some good points. Dr Aphra’s almost sociopathic outlook is always good for a few choice lines, the “murderous machines” Bee Tee and Triple Zero are on hand for their own gruesome commentary and some of the Queens hench-people, while not given much to do, are interestingly designed. But overall, the horror movies plotline didn’t seem much like Star Wars to me. Recommended for those who enjoy that type of story, or completists.
