Ian reviews the Pyzel White Tiger

Performance and fun. Funformance is the word Pyzel use to call their White Tiger model.

Inspired and born out of JJF's desire for a super fun, small wave board for the days when he isn't surfing world class waves. After sitting in JJF's garage his brother Ivan took the board and loved it, after this John went on a huge boat trip and took 5 experimental designs with him. His favourite by far was the White Tiger. This led to him and his long-time shaper Jon Pyzel working on the model and the White Tiger came about.

Taking a spin around the Pyzel White Tiger, the outline is a clean and stocky shape. With a wide point that sits right under your chest and a foam distribution keeping volume forward and central, the paddle speed and ability to catch even the smallest waves is a huge strength of the White Tiger. With this, the foam runs out towards the rails, giving a fuller rail but they are also tapered which blends an easy paddling machine with a sensitivity so you can pump and turn the board with consummate ease.

Flipping the White Tiger over, starting at the back end, in the tail you find an obvious double concave to vee that runs off the tail. This kicks in on the back third of the board. The top two thirds have a slightly more subtle single to double concave running up the surfboard. This single to double creates speed and lift which feels instant. This is a must have when making a market leading small wave board. The double concave with vee out the tail allows for fast turns, rail to rail surfing and continuous drive too.

Ideal for waves from knee high to head high, the White Tiger is a small wave superstar. It can be sized correctly so that surfers from a super high level, like JJF himself, to surfers looking for their first short board.

Another huge strength is the five-fin set up allows for a multitude of feelings when surfing this Pyzel surfboard. As a quad you get even more drive and speed. This is the set up we love! You can use this as a thruster which gives the board a more trusting, predictable feel. It would be ideal with a 5-fin set up, to use a quad in knee to chest high waves and then if its punchy or bigger, use a thruster for control.

Pyzel's Gremlin model was one of the best groveler models you could find, until now. The White Tiger is as amazing and for a small wave board, this should be the board you are on. Pair this along side a Red Tiger for the best two board quiver you can find.
