Hey Doug!

Excited to have you in the community 🙂

So usually when people want to learn to cross-step, instinct leads them towards by a noserider.

However, usually, the first thing that people need to master is setting up noserides and that is why the ITP is usually my recommendation for people…It also allows for less critical/shoulder noserides.

I think the ITP is serving you well as a more performance board and your carves are really coming on but I think YOU are ready for a more traditional board to progress your cross stepping!

I think a Singleton by Firewire could be a nice transition board for you…especially on the tiny, high-tide, days at Guiones.

If that seems like too big a jump (which I don’t think it is), then you could check out the firewire Gem that’s about halfway between the ITP and the Singleton

IF you’re really ready to commit, then I would thoroughly recommend trying the CJ Nelson Sprout…in fact, try mine!
