Pyzel Ghost Squash Tail Surfboard – 5'10 x 19" x 2.44" x 27.2L
The Pyzel Ghost has earned its reputation as one of the most trusted high-performance surfboards in modern surfing. Originally designed for John John Florence’s powerful surfing in heavy conditions, the Ghost quickly became a favorite among everyday surfers looking for extra speed, drive, and confidence in quality waves. This 5'10" Pyzel Ghost Squash Tail delivers the perfect balance of paddle power, control, and responsiveness for surfers pushing their performance in chest-high surf up to overhead conditions.
Featuring a refined outline, slightly fuller forward volume, and clean rocker profile, the Ghost excels in powerful surf while remaining surprisingly versatile in everyday conditions. The squash tail configuration offers added release and maneuverability compared to the round tail version, making this board a great option for surfers who want a more lively feel while maintaining the hallmark hold and drive the Ghost is known for.
Key Features of the Pyzel Ghost
High-Performance All-Around Design
The Ghost was built to handle everything from punchy beach breaks to powerful point waves. Its slightly forward foam distribution improves paddling and wave-catching ability without sacrificing performance responsiveness.
Squash Tail Performance
The squash tail adds versatility and looseness, allowing tighter turns and quicker release through critical sections while still maintaining excellent hold and control in steeper surf.
Balanced Rocker Profile
A moderate entry rocker helps the board fit into steeper waves, while the continuous tail rocker provides smooth rail-to-rail transitions and responsive turning capabilities.
Five Fin Futures Setup
Equipped with a Futures Tri/Quad 5-fin setup, the Ghost gives surfers the flexibility to ride it as a thruster for control and predictability or as a quad for added speed and down-the-line drive.
