Performance & Design Features
John John Florence Proven Performance
The Ghost was designed with elite-level surfing in mind, offering extra foam under the chest for easier paddling while maintaining refined rails and rocker for control in larger surf. It excels in steep, punchy waves where speed and hold are essential.
Squash Tail Versatility
The squash tail adds release and maneuverability compared to the rounded pin version, making this model a great option for surfers who want the Ghost’s legendary drive and hold with slightly more responsiveness and everyday versatility.
Tri/Quad 5-Fin Setup
The versatile 5-fin configuration allows riders to fine tune performance based on conditions. Ride it as a thruster for dependable control and predictability, or switch to a quad setup for added speed and down-the-line drive in hollow surf.
Ideal Wave Conditions
Best Wave Size
- 3–5 Feet
- 5 Feet Plus
The Pyzel Ghost performs best in waves with power and shape, including beach breaks, reef breaks, and point breaks. While it can handle solid surf with ease, the added volume and refined outline also help it perform in average conditions better than many traditional step-up boards.
