well, i was asked to have a go o a step deck board by a guy in the water who had dale shape him a "stepper". i couldn't believe the pumping turning speed. rail to rail is much faster than any board i've been on. real shortboard rail feel. this one had a deck concave so even allowing for the volume i didn't feel corky-ness. and had good feeling for the board. think this might be the way in the future
