Jon has been making many mid-length versions, mostly custom orders for surfers in Japan. Lately, he's been building one specific design for friends and select customers.
The response has been great, so we’re now offering our version of the mid-length to everyone.
Easy to paddle, responsive, and loose, the Mid Length Crisis has a semi-traditional, wide-point forward outline. It’s sleek and racey for fast, down-the-line drive but full-bodied enough to provide added stability and glide in weaker waves.
It has a beautiful foil from nose to tail, with a rolled deck for better paddling. Thinned rails provide sensitivity and bite.
The rocker features a moderate, long, clean curve running from tip to tail without radical changes. It is designed for fast paddling, speed generation, flow carrying, and smooth turning at any speed.
The bottom contours have a mild vee with double concave (old-school term: Spiral Vee). This means smooth rail-to-rail transitions for all levels of surfers.
The fin set-up is a 2+1 single box, offering options for single fin or added drive and control with small side-bites. The stock glassing is 4 bottom and 6+4 deck for extra weight and strength.
The Mid Length Crisis is a great addition to your quiver. It's perfect for those who want to try a new approach to familiar waves.

The History of Pyzel Surfboards
Pyzel Surfboards is a renowned brand in the surfboard industry. It was founded by master shaper Jon Pyzel in the 1990s. Based in Hawaii, the brand quickly gained recognition for its innovation and high-performance designs. Jon Pyzel's deep understanding of the ocean and surfboard crafting was the foundation for the company’s success.
Pyzel's journey began with a passion for surfing, which led him to shape boards for himself and others. Over the years, his designs evolved, offering surfers new ways to push their limits. Pyzel Surfboards became well-known for their ability to adapt to the changing demands of the surfing world. Their boards are famous for speed, control, and precision.
One of the pivotal moments in Pyzel's history came when John John Florence, one of the world’s best surfers, began riding his boards. Florence, a native of Hawaii, was already making waves in the surfing world when he partnered with Pyzel. The collaboration proved to be a perfect match. Pyzel’s high-performance boards and Florence’s exceptional talent created a dynamic duo.
John John Florence’s success on the world tour, paired with his use of Pyzel boards, greatly boosted the brand’s visibility. Florence’s consistent results, including multiple World Surf League (WSL) championships, showcased the superiority of Pyzel’s designs. Their relationship was more than just professional; it became a symbol of innovation and excellence in the surf industry.
Over the years, Pyzel has continued to shape boards tailored to Florence's specific needs. Their ongoing partnership has led to the development of signature models, like the "Ghost" and the "JJF," both of which are tailored to competitive and big-wave surfing. These boards offer unmatched performance and have been key in Florence’s continued dominance in the sport.
Pyzel’s relationship with John John Florence is ongoing and has shaped both brands’ identities. Florence’s success continues to push the boundaries of surfboard design, while Pyzel’s expertise enhances his performance. Together, they have redefined what’s possible on a surfboard.
This ongoing collaboration has solidified Pyzel Surfboards as one of the top brands in the surf industry. Through their shared commitment to performance and innovation, Pyzel and Florence are set to continue influencing the sport for years to come.
What is a Mid Length?
A mid-length surfboard typically ranges from just under 6 feet to 8 feet in length. It blends elements of both shortboards and longboards. These boards offer a good balance between maneuverability and stability. Surfers often choose mid-length boards for versatile performance in various wave conditions.
Mid-length surfboards are ideal for intermediate surfers who want to progress further. They provide more paddling power compared to shortboards. At the same time, they are more agile than longer boards. This makes them perfect for those looking for a fun, responsive ride.
These boards often feature a single or slight double concave bottom. The design improves speed and flow across the wave. Mid-length boards work well in a wide range of wave sizes and shapes. Many surfers appreciate their ability to handle both small and large waves effectively.
