Speaking Step-Ups & Guns
'Tis the season for step-ups & guns.Todd & Nick discuss the ingredients brewed into an El Niño rich year of waves o'plenty, and the defined crafts tuned to enjoy every bit of power that's been on tap.
Jarrah, West Oz
Going on a trip of a lifetime to get some dream waves? ... then get equipped with an 'Ante-Up'.Jarrah Tutton demonstrates. Tom Jennings documents.
For when the waves are getting a bit bigger and punchier than your regular shortboard can handle. The Ante Up is that little extra you need to get into bigger waves easier and maintain the balance of speed and stability necessary to rip on the overhead dream days.
The rocker has an even bend from nose to tail. The bottom features a slight single-to-double concave bottom with a touch of subtle vee off the back fin for drive and a positive hold through turns.
The deck is a bit more domed and foiled down to the rail. This keeps most of the volume of the board under the chest for paddling while keeping a lower volume fine-tuned rail for lightning responsiveness.
Thumbtails and rounded pins handle the power best.
All step-ups & guns customized according to locations to be surfed.

This is why we build boards the way we do, custom towards the individual and where they want to take their surfing. For honorable, hardworking class folks that are serious about their surfing and appreciate a premium experience that will take their skills to the next level. Everyone is unique and different and more than a height / weight chart amalgamated version of “what the pro’s ride”. We think there’s a far better way than algorithms and automating people. We believe in promoting individual excellence with unparalleled attention to detail. This is Alex from Santa Cruz on a recent Indo trip where he brought a three-pak quiver of Proctors.
