Great daily driver for waves from waist to overhead. Wide point forward to really easy paddling. Rails are a forgiving. Got mine as a squash tail but round tail is available too which is what I'd go with next time. Also went too big with mine and would thin it down a lot for the next one. Also check out the Pyzalien 2 which apparently has a bit more range and a more foiled out range.

This is an amazing board!!! Surfs so well as a quad! When offshore in any size wave I wouldn’t go anything else. Unfortunately my one is all dinged up around the tail as it’s really thin in the tail but even still perfect board for all abilities. I also find the rocket tail generates extra spray.

If you are looking for a high performance board that goes FAST, FAST and FAST. It's this board. If you love pushing on the rails to carve and hold nice line. It is the board to get. 100%. I surfed it in good condition or good size waves in Tahiti and Australia. The rails catch a little bit on flat section of the waves, but as soon as the waves are a bit hollow. Holly Molly, the board is so stable and has so much drive. One to get in your quiver for sure.

My second X-Wing Gold. Liked the first one so much which was a bit wider and thicker. This one still really easy to catch waves and really fast. Surprisingly loose too. Quality finish - strong yet reasonably light.

Great board. It’s very versatile, I have ridden it up to 5 feet in a solid cyclone swell with no issues. It also works well in small surf. I have the EPS and I have tried it as a quad and a 2 + 1. I like it as a quad best with the JJF fins up front and the QD2 rears. I have also tried the Rasta quad and the Rasta 2 + 1. I probably could have gone a couple of inches shorter as I didn’t realise how well this board paddles. I am very happy with the Pyzel quality and I have since bought the Ghost.

Only ridden the board once in some wobbly 4ft-5ft surf (not a very nice day actually), board paddled really well and found acceleration to be nice. The waves I rode it on were probably not suited to the board but was keen to give it a go, can see how this will suit the smaller days for sure.

I've ridden over 70 boards all my life and the Entity is by far the best board I've ever ridden. Paddles easy, goes great in small surf and it's outstanding in bigger surf, I feel like everything I try to do comes out perfectly when I surf it. Addictive board.

I bought a Rapture to surf in the beach breaks around home during the slower wave months and I must say it exceeded my expectations 10 fold. Even when the waves picked up I still found myself grabbing this board for the extra foam was addictive!
