Dean's Journey

Welcome to my world of surf, speed, and innovation.

Torque Holdings Limited was incorporated in 2016 which is the holding company for Torque Jet Boards, the Torque Brand, and its products. But the story started a long time before this.

Greetings! I’m a lifelong enthusiast of all things adventurous, from the thrill of riding waves on a surfboard to the freedom of cruising on motorbikes. Let me take you on a journey through my life’s experiences and passions.

Since I was a youngster, a little “grommet” (which is the surfing name for a young surfer) I fell in love with the ocean, the waves and the unbeatable feeling of catching those clean steep faces of the wave that produced massive amounts of speed. It was the rush that I was fortunate to have the opportunity to learn with frequent trips to Byron Bay Pass Beach with my family and friends of the family.

Sport in any forms I tried as I was growing up. Surfing, Soccer, and Golf reaching the later teenage years were the 3 that captured my full attention. Golf ended up being a profession I first tried to conquer and excel in. I become a PGA professional and travelled Australia playing the golf tours for many years. Playing on the tour is a thrill, but was a hard way to make a living. A certain life changing decision to head to Malaysia to originally teach golf and operate golf academies was the start of the entrepreneur spirit that took over my mind and becomes a dream to accomplish as much as I possibly could.

Hard work and perseverance can pay off, now have the pleasure of owning and manufacturing my own Jet Boards and accessories to support the brand Torque, and I have also challenged myself to not only sell the product but to build a sport, a community and I am confident it will be a craze that will spread to a place near you.

Today, I continue to explore the thrill of the surf and the rush of the open road. Join me as I share my adventures, insights, and the story behind the innovation that is the Torque motorized surfboard.

For the past 15 year’s Dean has been traveling throughout Asia researching and manufacturing various products for his International Trading business. Among these products, the passion and effort were directed into the water sports product area with the manufacturing partnership of surfboards and SUP and inflatable water sports boards and boats.

The business manufacturing and logistics setup throughout Australia and Asia led to ample of opportunities to experience vacations throughout the beautiful South Pacific. I am a lover of the ocean, or basically any water source, and if a vacation is planned then the Ocean, Lake or Island is the first crucial factor considered. Asia has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, from the Philippines – Boracay/Cebu to Thailand – Phuket/Koh Samui, Bali, Vietnam, Malaysia and the list goes on, I have visited them all……

Each trip I had to be near the beach, I need the clean ocean water to refresh the mind and relax the body, but I knew deep inside my soul the beauty in Asian beaches was missing those pounding waves and the adrenaline experienced in catching those waves back in my hometown in Australia. I then looked around and noticed that most places in Asia are heavily populated by vacationers from all around the world, the beaches are packed with young and old enjoying the sand and water, but then I thought to myself how could I bring the action, speed, and skill that surfing encompasses and create a board and system that will be affordable and accessible for all levels of people to enjoy in water sources that do not have waves.
