STep Deck
Sizes
High Performance Step Deck: 5’10” - 7’10”ish
Gun: 7’0” - 9’6”
Psycho: 9’6”+ (as big as you wanna go)
Features
Additional volume and paddle power where you need it most, with a refined rail for driving hard through turns in big, solid waves
The Step Deck comes in 3 different sub-models, with slight variations between the models: High Performance, Gun, and Psycho sizes
Because the rail remains thinner for all models of the Step Deck (than if additional volume was added to the entire board in a traditional sense), this board can be ridden in good surf, as well as gigantic waves, with increased maneuverability.
High Performance Sizes: a bit of flip in the tail, more high-performance rocker overall, slight vee off the tail, and single concave
Gun and Psycho: Vee off the tail, concave under the chest, additional glass
Sizing: For middle of the pack sizes, the step deck introduces an additional 2 - 4 liters of volume.
Dan Ross rides his 6’2” when a 6’10” would normally suffice in powerful south Australian winter swell, and has provided feedback that his 9’6” paddles like a 10’0” (keep in mind that Dan Ross is not a normal human).
Fin Setups
High Performance: Quad or 5-fin for high performance sizes (up to about 7’0”), with preference for 5-fin for versatility
Gun and Psycho Sizes: Quad only
