The Shadow XL

Introducing The Shadow XL, a bespoke surfboard by Pyzel Surfboards that redefines the performance segment for larger surfers. As an evolution of the award-winning Shadow model—recognized as the SIMA Shortboard of the Year for 2019—the Shadow XL is engineered to provide the performance attributes of a traditional shortboard while catering to those needing more volume and dimension without sacrificing maneuverability or responsiveness. Designed with a modern outline and refined contours, it allows surfers to maximize their potential across a variety of wave conditions, ranging from mellower beach breaks to critical reef setups.

The Shadow XL boasts several innovative features that set it apart from conventional high-performance shortboards (HPSBs). Its forward wide point enhances stability and padding power, complemented by a carefully crafted rocker and bottom contours that facilitate speed generation and tight turns in diverse conditions. A unique thickness flow places the volume strategically under the chest area, promoting enhanced paddling ease and flotation—ideal for maintaining speed in slower sections. The board also incorporates a high-performance squash tail, which tightens the turning radius while ensuring seamless vertical surfing capabilities. Crafted to inspire confidence in both intermediate and advanced surfers, the Shadow XL not only elevates performance but also enriches the overall ride experience, blending glide with agility seamlessly.

Available in various sizes and with the flexibility of a Thruster, Quad, or 5-Fin configuration, the Shadow XL is an adaptable choice for various surf styles. Whether you are looking to elevate your skillset or needing a reliable board for diverse surf conditions, the Shadow XL stands out as an essential addition to any surfer's quiver. With dimensions scaling from 5'6" to 6'8" and a volume range tailored for optimum performance, Pyzel ensures that every surfer can find their perfect fit. Embrace the flow, speed, and maneuverability of The Shadow XL—your next performance ally in the water.
