After extensive team testing by Jai Glindeman, also known for having a great time surfing, we proudly announce the release of our third addition to the Velocity Project series, the Precious. The step-railed, concave-decked Precious was created when a friend asked for a one-board quiver for world travel. "One board to rule them all" was the request, and thus, the name Precious was born (Lord of the Rings fans will understand).
The Precious is based on the Gremlin, known for its speed, versatility, and fun. However, we aimed for a sleeker, more performance-oriented design with less width and thinner rails. To achieve this while maintaining volume, we opted for a step-deck design. This allowed us to keep some foam in the board while giving it a sensitive, high-performance rail.
The step-deck also creates a concave deck, enhancing stability and sensitivity. It provides extra paddle power as a bonus. Using the Gremlin DNA, the Precious surfboard features a step-down with a flatter entry rocker and subtle tail curve, enabling easy acceleration, speed, and quick turning.
The outline is narrower and more pulled in than the Gremlin. However, it still maintains speed through slower, weaker sections, allowing smooth flow and effortless glide. The single/double concave bottom provides lift and drive without feeling sticky during rail-to-rail transitions. The ample V in the wide tailblock lets it tip onto its rail with ease, even at higher speeds.
The Precious is an easy paddler that accelerates quickly, offering a snappy, drivey, high-performance feel to maximize your wave riding. We recommend you ride your Precious a few inches above or below your height, depending on your ability. Add ½" to 1" of width and order based on volume, not thickness, as the concave deck makes the boards feel thin but provide extra volume.
Ride it as a tri-fin, quad, or even 2+1 and have a blast!

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.
