Line Stepup Skis
GO BIGGER WITH CONFIDENCE

For those stepping it up in the park, we’ve stepped it up in our engineering to create a new park ski so ahead of its time we don’t even understand it. The 2012 Line Stepup ski has a new Deckwall™ construction which blends the bomber durability of Skate Deck™ with the smooth, solid feel of Sidewall for reliability that will literally stomp your double flips for you . . . as LJ Strenio tells us. It’s got an 86mm width and new high speed Fatty Race Base for ninja-like reflexes & extra speed with the power, pop, stability, smoothness and most importantly durability to destroy the nastiest park features on earth…Cha..ching!
