La Paulade Max Torque Block

La Paulade Max Torque Block

Introducing the La Paulade Max Torque Block – Maxime Sokol’s -designed torque block. Crafted from soft 95A TPU material, its gyroid infill ensures a comfortable underfoot experience, with meticulously adjusted filling for optimal feel beneath the griptape. The design features a deep pocket for toesides while maintaining the ideal slope for an optimal tucking position.

We recommend double-sided tape for easy installation. However, you might prefer to use Velcro at first to find your favorite torque block position. If you’re a brute, you can also directly glue it to your board – but don’t cry afterward if you placed it too far forward!

Each Max Torque Block is 3D printed using soft 95A TPU – a flexible yet supportive material. The interior features a gyroid infill pattern, which provides a cushioned feel underfoot while maintaining structure and durability.

By default, the block is made wider than most decks so you can custom-fit it to your setup. Just trim the edges to match your board’s contour using a sharp blade – it’s quick and easy to get a clean finish that hugs your rails.

We recommend starting with Velcro so you can fine-tune the block’s position and get a feel for what works best. Once you’ve locked in your ideal setup, switch to double-sided tape for a cleaner, more permanent bond.

If you’re feeling bold, superglue is also an option – but we suggest putting down a protective layer (like tape or thin plastic) under the block so you’re not stuck for life if you ever need to move or remove it.
