The Pyzalien 2 XL


For years the original Pyzalien has been an all-time favorite model, so we decided to take a fresh approach to it and release the new and improved Pyzalien 2.

Back when the Original came out it was a lot different than the shortboards of the time- wide point forward outline, wider overall in the nose, with the thickness flow pushed forward as well. It was designed to be ridden shorter/wider than your normal boards, but still have the volume needed to make it work well in weaker waves. 10+ years later and the Pyzalien still looks a little different, but most modern shortboard designs have shifted in a similar direction.

The Pyzalien 2 works great in a huge variety of waves, from points to reefs to beach break, and has one of the most user friendly, yet high performance rockers we’ve made, smooth and clean, with med/low entry running through to med+ tail rocker. The bottom has a single concave starting in the nose, running under the front foot, blending into double concave and then VEE in the last 6 inches of the tail which adds release that helps ease you into turns. This rocker/bottom combo gives the board quick, effortless speed from take-off, while increasing the responsiveness and control, allowing for easier rail to rail transitions at high speeds.

The outline is clean and simple, no hips or wings just a fuller nose and wider tail which keeps the board very fast and drive-y, making for easy flow through flatter sections. One of the biggest changes from the Original is a more domed deck with refined rails, so we recommend that you order it the same thickness, 1/4 to 1/2 inch wider and 2-3 inches shorter than your standard shortboard. Comes standard with a clean swallow tail for added snappiness and spark!

This is a great Daily Driver board with a High Performance personality, built for most levels of surfer, from novice to Pro.

VOLUME CALCULATOR

Our volume guide can help you figure out a good estimated volume for you to base your next board off of.

Ability/weight/volume numbers are not exact, but can give you an idea of where to start. This chart is assuming volume for a basic performance board to be ridden in weak to good waves.

  • Generally speaking, you would want to ADD volume for a board designed for smaller, weaker conditions.

  • You would also ADD volume for a step-up/gun board for use in even bigger, more powerful waves.

  • Added weight (thick wetsuit, booties, etc.) should be calculated into your weight.

  • You generally want to balance the added ease of paddling (more volume) with sensitivity and performance (less volume).
