Inspired by the Californian longboards of the early 1960s, it rewards purposeful surfing with effortless glide, stable cross-stepping and powerful drop-knee turns. Think soul arches, six steps to the nose, pivot turns and long, flowing lines inspired by surfers like Mike Hynson, Barry Kanaiaupuni and Midget Farrelly.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBuilt with a central wide point, parallel outline and flatter rocker, the Step Glide is fast no matter where you stand on the board. As a result, it paddles effortlessly and generates exceptional speed through trim. A light nose concave blends into subtle roll through the tail, while refined rails and a modern blank with considered flex create a board that glides with the feel of a traditional log while retaining the responsiveness to lay into committed turns. To unlock the full character of the design, Matt recommends ordering the Step Glide \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2 inches longer and ½ inch narrower\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e than your standard longboard, glassed with a \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003emedium-weight performance lay-up over a heavier blank\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e for maximum glide, momentum and control.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe name \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStep Glide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e originates from the first prototypes Matt shaped with a step deck. During the research and development phase, feedback from local surfers and test riders was overwhelmingly positive, and what began as a personal experiment quickly earned its place as a permanent model in the Orchard range. While the step deck has since evolved into a more refined design, the philosophy remains the same, reducing swing weight through the nose to create a board that turns more freely without sacrificing its effortless glide.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is Matt's board of choice for larger right-hand point breaks and smaller trimming waves, and the model behind some of his best competition results in recent years. Fast, stable and beautifully balanced, the Step Glide blends classic Californian style with modern refinement to create a longboard that encourages surfers to draw longer lines, move confidently around the board and experience the effortless glide that inspired its name.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRE-ORDER — Available to order now. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Orchard Surf","offers":[{"title":"9'4 \/ Clear","offer_id":52628447232282,"sku":null,"price":2495.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9'4 \/ Stone White","offer_id":52628447068442,"sku":null,"price":2649.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9'4 \/ Latte","offer_id":52628447101210,"sku":null,"price":2649.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9'4 \/ Bitou","offer_id":52628447199514,"sku":null,"price":2649.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9'4 \/ Orchard Green","offer_id":52628447035674,"sku":null,"price":2649.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9'4 \/ Foggy Morning","offer_id":52628447133978,"sku":null,"price":2649.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9'4 \/ Surfers Delight","offer_id":52612378788122,"sku":null,"price":2649.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9'4 \/ Red Hill","offer_id":52628447166746,"sku":null,"price":2649.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9'6 \/ Clear","offer_id":52628447461658,"sku":null,"price":2495.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9'6 \/ Stone White","offer_id":52628447297818,"sku":null,"price":2649.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9'6 \/ Latte","offer_id":52628447330586,"sku":null,"price":2649.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9'6 \/ Bitou","offer_id":52628447428890,"sku":null,"price":2649.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9'6 \/ Orchard Green","offer_id":52628447265050,"sku":null,"price":2649.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9'6 \/ Foggy Morning","offer_id":52628447363354,"sku":null,"price":2649.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9'6 \/ Surfers Delight","offer_id":52612378853658,"sku":null,"price":2649.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9'6 \/ Red Hill","offer_id":52628447396122,"sku":null,"price":2649.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1006\/7604\/3034\/files\/STEPGLIDE-CLEAR_26a63ea7-eb3d-443b-8a7b-7155a41a7663.png?v=1790205477","url":"https:\/\/orchardsurf.com\/products\/step-glider-single-fin","provider":"Orchard Surf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
