Step-up

A board designed to surf when the waves get a little big or punchy, but not big enough for a designated big wave board.  Reliable in solid conditions; ideal in Indonesia or those winter swells at home.  Made for hollow waves, I go with a curvy rocker, slight single concave into a deeper double concave and vee through the tail. Most commonly made with a lean, rounded pin tail.

Fin Setup: Three, four or five fins in FCS or Futures fin system

Suitable For: When the waves get too juicy for your small wave board, the ‘Step up’ is your board! Surf size: 4-8ft.
