The Next Step is built for surfers chasing waves that push beyond the limits of their everyday board, whether at local breaks or on abroad destination surf missions. It delivers the loose, responsive feel of a shortboard, combined with the added paddle power and hold required in powerful surf conditions.

Trusted in demanding waves around the globe, from Pipeline and Mainland Mexico to Tahiti, Fiji, and Western Australia.

For sizing, consider riding it 2" to 8" longer than your standard shortboard, with at least 1/8" extra thickness - increasing progressively with added length - to improve entry speed and earlier wave access.

A pronounced rocker helps manage committed step drops, while added foam through the nose boosts paddle power. Refined rails provide the precision and control needed where performance matters most: deep in the barrel.

When the goal is bigger, more powerful surf, The Next Step is designed for the job.
