Flat deck makes for a more stable feel,paddle power and carry through turns.The rail feels thicker than dimensions stated. The continuous rocker releases well without losing drive and projection The board is very versatile and functional. Frothing!

Funnest board i have ever riden. In weak under head height surf you can catch practically any wave and due to its great drive, it makes the waves seem more powerful than they are.

Loving this board, custom ordered for high performance and when the waves are firing this board goes off. Very manoeuvrable and responsive. Used it with both the akila and the K2 keels from futures. Use the K2 keels when its smaller or on points for better speed and drive. Use the Akila twins for punchy beach breaks. Would recommend!

Awesome board for advanced surfers who traditionally ride thrusters and want to experience something different. Not a traditional twinnie, more like a hybrid. Awesome board in anything under 6’.

I purchased my first Phantom (rounded square ) after riding AM Sampler models, board felt dependable right away, but sweet spot riding it took around 2 weeks, getting used to new rails and wide point forward. After this learning curve found I could push board as hard as I wanted and it would respond in kind, The board paddles extremely well with the wide point forward, allowing easy entry, and confidence with late takeoffs. I have to say these are the best feeling rails I’ve ever had on a board, and will hold in well over head height and more. I had fcs in my board and matched the board with John Pyzel medium FCS fins. I rode this board for 18months have re-purchased another one in 5’10 stock dims and loving it just as much. I will be ordering a 5’11 again soon in rounded pin version as a step up, also have a 6’1 ghost in the quiver. Have to give a huge thumbs up, first board was surfed hard for 18 months and still looks fresh and has held up really well, I’ve put less experienced mates onto the phantom and it’s smoothed out there surfing and has given them confidence to push harder. Gotta give @John Pyzel 2 thumbs up
