The Ghost XL

The Pyzel Surfboards Ghost XL is a thoughtfully engineered surfboard designed to meet the demands of high-performance surfing across a diverse range of conditions, particularly excelling in larger waves. As an iteration of the popular Ghost model, the Ghost XL is characterized by its extra width and thickness, making it a preferred choice for many surfers, including world-champion John John Florence. This board harmonizes performance with accessibility, allowing it to serve as an all-in-one quiver for those looking to tackle surf conditions that span from 2 to 12 feet.

Built with a refined outline that enhances its maneuverability, the Ghost XL maintains a balanced distribution with a wide point pushed slightly forward, which aids in paddling and wave entry; meanwhile, the nose is lower profile for streamlined navigation through bigger surf. The board features a medium/low rocker in the front half for easy paddling and quick speed generation, coupled with a pronounced rocker in the rear for unparalleled turning control. Its dual concave bottom, transitioning into a Vee, empowers the Ghost XL with speed and lift, ensuring rapid rail-to-rail transitions essential for executing agile maneuvers. The combination of these design elements results in a surfboard that offers both sensitivity and stability, enabling surfers to carve powerful lines even in the most challenging conditions.

The Ghost XL is versatile enough for any surfer, regardless of skill level, whether you’re attacking reef breaks, beach breaks, or point waves. Pyzel recommends riders to opt for a size from their height to 8 inches longer, with dimensions 1/4 to 1/2 inch wider and 1/8 to 3/8 inch thicker than their standard shortboard to fully utilize its performance capabilities. With its advanced design and emphasis on performance, the Pyzel Ghost XL stands out as a must-have for those looking to elevate their surfing game while enjoying the benefits of a board that caters to various wave conditions.
