Step Ups and Big Wave Guns

One Revolver Surfboards — Step-Ups & Big Wave Guns

Built for serious conditions — steep drops, powerful surf, and heavy water. Every Step-Up and Gun is fully customizable — dims, volume, rockers, fins, rails, materials — shaped for commitment and confidence.

When the swell jumps and the ocean starts moving with real power, you need a board that works with you — not against you. Our Step-Ups and Big Wave Guns are engineered for speed, control, and stability in critical conditions. Whether you're threading a heaving beach break, chasing hurricane swell, or paddling into long-period monsters, these shapes give you the confidence to commit.

What Makes a Step-Up or Gun?

Step-Ups

Step-Ups bridge the gap between your daily shortboard and a full gun. Designed 2–6 inches longer and slightly narrower, they offer:

  • Early Paddle Power: Relaxed entry rockers to get over the ledge.
  • Superior Hold: Narrower outlines maintain control on steep, critical faces.
  • Maneuverability: Enough responsiveness to still surf vertically in heavy conditions.

Big Wave Guns

Guns are built for serious waves — power, size, and commitment. Their design prioritizes:

  • Maximum Control: Confidence when you're moving fast in critical zones.
  • Stability at Speed: Foam and rocker placement engineered for high-velocity control.
  • Longer Length: Enables deeper paddle positioning and earlier entry on big faces.

Every board is hand-shaped with top-tier materials and is fully customizable — rockers, outlines, concaves, glassing strength, fin setups, volume, dimensions, and more.
