    Nice. I love Pyzel's boards. I hope that one day I can afford to have him make me a custom board with a cool design on it.

      It is really not okay and is unfortunately one of my problems with the surf industry as it relates to the shaping of surfboards themselves. Somehow, we have allowed this mentality to take hold where there are no real concrete deadlines for when the product gets completed. I get that surfboards aren't the same kind of good as say, a custom built computer or a piece of furniture. But that doesn't mean that customer service should be nonexistent and that people are told BS delivery times for the product in order to get them in the door. I also feel like priority is given to pro surfers over normal folks, which is also not okay.
      PS: Much respect for the Pyzel and his boards. I have had several over the years and they have all been great.

    Hey man! I just got into surfing and I have a wave storm 8 footer from Costco and it works well on the small waves. But when the waves start to get bigger it’s super hard to paddle out bc I can’t dive underneath from the INSANE buoyancy lol. What board do you recommend wouldn’t do that but would still be good for small waves?

Boards are not a cheap thing, so you should take all that in consideration. Don’t get a shortie if your paddling is bad tho.

      @@matteoscarduaverona3431 depends on where you are surfing alot of places I surf on Maui are reef breaks 200 yards out..and I am used to paddeling boards well under my height and volume but until you are used to keeping your back arched for hours at a time paddeling sideways in choppy water nose sinking while In a rip it's best to go with a board about 4-10 inches taller and more volume because until you have the fundamentals down you wont get any of the advantages a shorter board has to offer in manuverability. More paddle = more waves caught = more fun if you are just starting to learn how to pump and hit the lip.

    entertaining video by showboating Koa, hey how about an expose about rocker on a surfboard, its relationship to length and width and thickness. What are the limits of rocker ? how does the shaper measure and ensure the designed rocker ? the shape transition of the surfboard rocker from nose to tail ? characteristics of rocker that make for a magic board ? how does Pyzel determine rocker ? plus other shape characteristics like thickness, rail shape, outline, tail shape, and how does volume translate into a everyday surfer's perception and/or understanding ? guess I see if Koa responds
