Best step-ups for punchy waves

Steep, punchy and hollow waves need rocker, rail and control. These step-ups are rated for powerful surf rather than gentle rollers.

Step-ups are a shortboard stretched a few inches longer and narrower, for days that are bigger and faster than an everyday board likes.
