OUTLINE

The Faded 2.0 Step-Up has a slightly fuller nose and holds some foam under the chest for paddle power. The bottom 2/3 of the board are a simple smooth fast outline into a Pin tail.

ROCKER

The board has a flat-medium entry, and a smooth medium tail rocker. This compliments the double concave and vee bottom contour. In essence, it´s fast with a lot of control in tight situations.

CONTOURS

Bottom contour is single concave from 12 inches down to middle of the board, a slight double concave from the midpoint runs down into a vee out through the tail. This gives the board hold and drive when you´re in hollow, fast waves where control is necessary.

RAIL

Low rail. Good for holding a line in fast, hollow waves.

FINS: Comes as a 5-fin set-up. Fin Recommendations: Control comes to mind with a board like this, so these are the fins we recommend:

Thruster – FCS II Carver Template

Quad – FCS II Carver Template quad Rear

PERFORMANCE

When designing the Step-Up version of this board we had heavy water in mind. To trust your equipment in these conditions you want the following attributes packed into one board.

The top 1/3 has a full-ish outline and is packed with volume, combine this with a flat entry rocker and you´ll find chipping into heavy waves a breeze. Whether the waves are fast and hollow, or big and chunky, this board has the ability to paddle into it (insanity not included).

Through the middle section the board ´mellows out´ with a single concave, straight outline and low rail bite give this board both speed, and bite to hold a line.

The back-third of the board is where the control and most importantly hold is generated. The double concave into a vee out the tail gives this board a simple rail-to-rail transition and also helps the board hold a line when youre racing across the face, drawing a controlled bottom turn, or knifing directly under the lip into the pit.

All in all, this board is a paddle machine at the front matched with a pin tail to hold in the rear.
