Best step-ups for big waves
Overhead surf punishes a board that cannot hold its line. These step-ups are rated for overhead waves and bigger, where length, rail and a pulled-in tail matter most.
Step-ups are a shortboard stretched a few inches longer and narrower, for days that are bigger and faster than an everyday board likes.
