angourie and lennox when they are overhead will kick the sh!t out of you. Big surf on the goldy is heavy. Surf the alley when its double overhead or pumping burleigh or kirra will wreck you.
so much current in fact it is ski required, not optional

I think step-ups definitely have their place.
Somewhere like Morocco or Jbay with a wall bending away from you. Longer boards absolutely work better in those scenarios because of the longer lines they draw. I wouldn't want to ride a standard length hpsb on those types of waves, nor would I want a legitimate semi-gun.

Since we are talking about step ups anyone try a stamps Indo fish? Will a board like that be able to handle when a waves breaks top to bottom at a descent size?
all depends on your ability I reckon. These pros could ride a door in 10 foot first reef pipe. Id rather have a board like the Indo Fish at Uluwatu or Impossibes wheres its a bit almondy rather than at something like Puerto Escondido where even at 6ft id be riding my stepup.
I surfed both in the overhead (Angourie) to double plus (Lennox) range and can certainly confirm that I got the sh!t kicked out of me at both places. Angourie put a huge gash in the rail of my board and Lennox crushed the nose and left my shins bleeding.
Get your step up for the specific wave you will use it at. It’s that simple.
