Programme

The Steve is a concentration of seventies single fin glide, with the assets and style of a mid-length.

Overview

At first glance, the Steve stands out, because it is far from conventional lines. A shape almost untouched by trends and influences. And yet this modern shape draws its lines from decades of surf history and culture. And if surfing is a way of expressing yourself, you have to accept not going unnoticed, because the Steve boldly and unapologetically asserts its originality.

Feet centred on the deck, one hand trailing through the water, with a certain nonchalance, the Steve is made for drawing down-the-line lines and laying into long rail turns.

The Steve is the antithesis of the modern shortboard: you do not pump, you do not stack tricks. Put simply, it sits at the opposite end of the spectrum from skate-inspired influences. This is a board to be savoured. You drop in early, glide effortlessly, put the board on rail through your carves, and experience the essence of surfing.

Of course, you can draw rounded lines, break them up with powerful carves, the Steve’s surfing range is incredibly complete. But what will really make you go “wow” is a beautiful cheater hang five in the pocket, basta!

Having style in surfing is not just a matter of appearance, because it is also and above all a matter of performance, the key being the ability to be fast and to generate speed through manoeuvres. The Steve’s shape is designed to make that glide easier, thanks to its very low tail rocker. With that speed, all that is left is to enjoy glide that is naturally stylish.

Buying guide

Who is it for?

The Steve is aimed at surfers looking to rediscover the pure glide of a single fin, the style of seventies lines and the comfort of a modern mid-length.

It is made for intermediate to experienced surfers who want to surf with more flow, less rush and a lot more style in their lines.

What for?

To get in early, glide effortlessly and draw long down the line lines.

The Steve is not a board for constant pumping or chaining tricks. It invites you to slow the tempo, choose your line, put the board on rail through the carves and enjoy a simple, stylish and essential glide.

What board size?

Choose a size that gives you enough comfort to make the most of its programme: easy paddling, early take-off and long glide.

A more compact size will give you a more manoeuvrable, more playful ride.

A longer size will bring more glide, more natural speed and more drawn-out carves.

What are the ideal waves?

The Steve loves clean waves, long shoulders, point breaks and sections that let you draw your line.

It also works very well in soft to medium waves thanks to its low tail rocker, planing ability and paddling comfort. It will be less suited to very vertical waves or conditions that call for highly reactive surfing.

Which construction?

In PU, the Steve gains inertia, comfort and smooth glide. It is the most natural choice to enjoy a classic, composed and fluid single fin feel.

In EPS, it becomes lighter, livelier and easier to build speed on. It is a good choice for clean small waves and surfers who want more responsiveness underfoot.

Which fin setup?

The Steve is ridden as a single fin. This is the setup that gives it its whole identity: less drag, more glide, progressive acceleration and a very fluid ride.

Choose a fin with enough area to keep hold through big drawn-out lines. A straighter fin will give more pivot, while a fin with more rake will favour long carves and flow.

Which shape should you choose?

Choose the Steve if you want a board built for style, glide and long lines, with a true seventies single fin feel.

Choose an Indra if you want a more versatile mid-length, more modern through the carves and less single fin-oriented.

Choose a Carter if you want a more adaptable board, with several fin setups and a broader programme.

The Steve is the choice for pure glide, flow and unapologetic style: a board to savour rather than force.

Equipments

These boards come fitted with a leash plug and a central US Box for a single fin setup.

Depending on what you want, your build, the conditions and your surfing style, you can fine-tune the board's feel with different GONG fibreglass fins compatible with US Box.

The single setup uses a central fin mounted in the US Box.
