Believe the hype... this board is everything that other folks say about it and more. I was skeptical when I first heard about this board but it's the board you want when the waves start to pump. My ghost is 1" longer, 1/4" wider and 1/16" thicker than my regular shortboard with 2L more volume. The board paddles super fast and feels both loose and controlled at the same time. Best ridden in heavy beachies or reef passes. Doesn't like lumpy or onshore conditions. I wouldn't do a surf trip without one!

So my initial thoughts were “this doesn’t feel similar to other high performance boards”. The reason being is how flat the deck is. It really felt different to me. Other things that stood out were a fairly serious amount of concave on the last foot or so of the nose. When I went surfing this definitely made sense straight away. I felt really planted on the board due to the flat deck. It helped my balance actually. I went on the lower side of my volume range but it felt really solid. Paddled into waves easily as well! I was after a higher performance version of the phantom and that’s exactly what I got. I really do love this board! It pivots well but can still hold a rail in big surf. Im stoked and highly recommend this board. If your looking at one I’d say it definitely isn’t a bad option what so ever :)

This board is the magic carpet you want to ride. I was worried about the step down but it feel so solid under my feet. The drive is off the charts and does everything and more it says on the box. Iv had two mate go and buy this board after riding mine. Do ya self a favour and get this board. I am 6’3” and 103kgs.

Fantastic board! It’s pretty much replaced my entire quiver. I’ve crunched it a couple times into some bigger sets and the nose hasn’t flinched. I think because of this, it really kicks on the takeoff. I can confirm Aaron’s review that it probably isn’t a board that really boasts its form in anything less than 3ft, but by all means can definitely handle it. Those in the intermediate to highly skilled range will definitely enjoy riding this board. Very intuitive feel and I definitely recommend it

Bought it for a stepup board when it's big. Board feels so safe on the take off when it's sucky and drives off the bottom beautifully. Holds its rail through turns you can depend on, very stoked with this board.

Second pyzel I’ve surfed, gains speed super Quick and cuts through the water nicely, very manoeuvrable board that could be used by any intermediate and above surfer, caught some absolutely killer waves with this board and only surfed it 4 times!!

Purchased before a trip to Indo last year and wasn't disappointed. Pyzel manages to hide the extra volume in the board. Great paddler and early entry. Despite the volume its still easy to turn and put on rail.

Great to paddle, drops in nicely and builds speed QUICK. Rails hold nice for a short wide board giving confidence when it’s steeper. As a quad this board is super fun, I am extremely happy with my purchase!
