We get to see another board design at Wet Feet, a Bill Stewart 11'6" step deck manufactured by Boardworks. One standing feature of this board is the step deck, which you'll see on the video.It has a double-wing pin tail, which can handle fast and steep waves like a long board. The board is typically designed for big guys -- a thick 5 and 16th inch thick middle plus a tapered nose and tail.(click thumbnail to launch video)[gallery=30]Wet Feet: Now this is a Bill Stewart board, which is being produced by Boardworks. Wersquo;re also to bring out the C4 stand up board. Very interesting outline and lay up on this board ndash; the most dramatic thing and obvious is the step deck, which you see here. It has got some really interesting rails on the tail. It has got a double wing pin tail, which is basically do handle faster waves, steeper waves. So even though itrsquo;s a big board, itrsquo;s got the long board. This board can actually handle some speed and some decent surf.Evan: Is it fast?Wet Feet: Yes, it is. You can also nose ride it with a full nose like this and if you get a center, middle perspective, you can see that the board is about five and a sixteenth thick in the middle, right here. And then itrsquo;s very tapered in the nose and the tail. It can float a larger guy.Evan: How does the bottom look?Wet Feet: The bottom is also rather interesting. It has got a double concave and a tail here. Some V brought forward and then it flattens out in the mid-section.Evan: Itrsquo;s pretty common for that.Wet Feet: Yeah, it is. But what is unusual is Bill Stewart has done a really subtle bevel along the edges. It starts about two inches from inside the rails. So thatrsquo;s a performance feature. Thatrsquo;s help the board release on turns.Evan: And then yoursquo;re riding two plus one? Itrsquo;s kind of a big fin they put on this, huh?Wet Feet: Yeah, thatrsquo;s actually not the stock fin. Thatrsquo;s a little more fin than they provided.Evan: What does it come with stock?Wet Feet: It comes with an 8-inch fin stock, and two-side bites.Evan: Three-inch side bites?Wet Feet: Yeah.Evan: Ok, cool.
