Pyzel Surfboards Wildcat Custom

Inspired by beautiful twin-fin designs of the past, the boards are built with my curves and contours. They look timeless, yet offer modern performance that we strive for in all our boards. The bottom curve is clean and relatively flat, offering great paddle speed and easy acceleration as you get to your feet. A single/double concave runs throughout the bottom, blending into a moderate V. Four channels run off the tail. This design helps the board roll from rail to rail, adding bite off the bottom. It quickly responds to weight shifts and flows over softer sections of a wave. This increases speed as you push it through turns.

The outline blends traditional and modern styles. The wide point is just up from center, with a moderately wide nose and classic single-wing rounded pintail. The wing and pin work with the channels to provide both drive and maneuverability. They allow snappy, pivoted turns and sweeping carves. The nose is a refined beak (you know I love these), allowing more thickness under the chest area. This keeps you more on top of the water while paddling. The rails have a modern shortboard feel, with extra foam removed to aid in sensitivity and bite.

For sizing, go an inch or two under your Daily Driver board. Also, try a half inch to an inch wider, with a bit more volume.

The speed, flow, and easy surfing of this board is loved by all. It's perfect for any surfer in almost any wave.

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.
