Step Deck

The Step Deck by Thomas Surfboards is a masterful blend of aesthetic appeal and performance functionality, designed for surfers who appreciate a classic Californian style. This surfboard features a wider template complemented by a distinctive yet subtle step in the deck, which cleverly reduces volume in the front third of the board. This innovative design element minimizes swing weight during sharp turns, enhancing maneuverability without sacrificing the board's overall stability. The result is a responsive board that feels nimble when pivoting from the tail while maintaining a solid connection to the wave face.

Performance-wise, the Step Deck excels in noseriding, a coveted skill in longboard surfing. The reduced upfront volume and increased flex allow the board to react dynamically to the wave's energy. When standing on the nose, surfers can easily manipulate the board’s flex by shifting their weight; pushing forward flattens the nose rocker for increased speed, while leaning back elevates the nose, allowing for a controlled slowdown. Combined with a long, blended nose concave and a belly down the tail, the Step Deck empowers riders to navigate the complexities of varying wave characteristics intuitively. This surfboard promises not only premium performance in the water but also a visually striking design that stands out on the beach—truly a craftsmanship for those who seek both beauty and function in their surfing experience.
