When the surf pumps overhead and beyond, the CI Pro Step Up earns its rightful place in your quiver. This board carries the high-performance DNA of the CI Pro shortboard but is tuned specifically for powerful, larger surf — featuring a refined, drawn-in template with added hold through the tail and a rocker tuned for critical, steep drops and powerful carves. The result is a board that gives experienced surfers the confidence to commit fully in serious conditions.

At 6'2 and 30.5 liters, this is a natural step up from a standard performance shortboard without being oversized — sleek, fast, and precise. Futures fin compatible, thruster setup. Designed for advanced surfers comfortable in head-high to double-overhead surf. Shaped by Al Merrick and the Channel Islands team, Santa Barbara.
