Its single concave bottom throughout and fuller rails enhance paddling efficiency while maintaining the ability to go vertical. Tail kick adds lift and responsiveness. Ideal for advanced surfers, this versatile high-performance step-up board is meant to take your good wave performance to the next level. Ride the same width and thickness as your all-around performance board, but 2” to 6” longer based on wave size.
