    "Earlier this winter John came to me asking for a board that would fit in between the Red Tiger & his Ghost as far as wave size and quality goes. John helped me develop the Red Tiger for performance surfing in smaller and weaker types of waves and we have all seen his amazing surfing on that board. Put it simply, the Power Tiger is a refined version of the Red Tiger with updates made to handle bigger, better, more powerful waves. 

    The Red Tiger is still John's go to for slower waves in the head-high and below range, but the Power Tiger fits in perfectly once the surf gets a little bigger, especially when it gets more powerful (hence the name). 

    The main and most obvious difference is in the outlines. We pulled in both the nose and the tail which creates more curve in the outline which has a huge effect in the way the Power Tiger surfs.

    The narrower tail will hold better with speed while being pushed hard through turns (no sliding out at the bottom) and the extra curve in the tail adds looseness in tighter pockets.

    The pule din nose also helps the board fit into hollow more "cupped out" types of waves without getting caught up. The overall added outline curve makes the board easier to throw up into the lip at speed and keeps it ultra responsive,

    Another subtle but important change we made is that we thinned out the rails of the Power Tiger, which helps you sink your rail on speedier, more powerful waves without having to worry about too much pushback. The thinner rails also helps in knifing into barrels and holding through big carves.

    Finally, I made some adjustments to the bottom rocker, specifically added 1/8" of a curve through the last bit of the tail. This loosens up the board, helps it tip over onto the rail through all speed and adds to holding ability through turns.

    We recommend riding this board when your Red Tiger is starting to feel a little small for the waves you want to ride, at the same length as your Red Tiger with a tough less volume or going up an inch in length and going a touch narrower."

    - John Pyzel

    About Pyzel Surfboards

    Pyzel Surfboards began in a backyard shaping room on the North Shore around 1995 or so, and has evolved to become one of the leading surfboard companies in the world today. Jon Pyzel grew up in Santa Barbara, California, started surfing in junior high and quickly found himself deep into it. Matt Moore started shaping his boards and put him on his team. Matt always helped explain the ideas and principles of surfboard design and let Jon watch him shape all his boards. After traveling for surf, Jon realized he wanted better waves, warmer water, making a permanent move to Oahu's North Shore in 1992. There he found work fixing dings at Country Surfboards, and Jon quickly learned the ins and outs of the craft, working as a hot coater and laminator. He soon connected with master shaper Jeff Bushman, who gave him guidance, input, and encouragement. Eventually, Jeff gave Jon a job as his back-shaper and that was the beginning of his shaping career. A defining moment came a few years later, in 1998. Alex Florence approached Jon about making a board for her oldest son John John, who was 5 at the time. From there forward, Jon and John John worked together to redefine what was possible for Grom surfng. Fast forward almost 20 years and John John Florence is the 2016 World Champ, widely considered the best surfer alive, all while riding Pyzel surfboards. When we think about our company today, we consider JJF as one of the cornerstones to our success, not just for his amazing surfng ability and priceless feedback, but also for his loyalty, his humble attitude, his gratitude, and his positive outlook on life. We didin't start this all to become a giant company, putting out as many "units" as we could, we started it because we love surfing and everything that goes with that - travel to new lands, great friendships, adventure. But most of all we started this because we love surfboards! Today Pyzel Surfboards has grown to be an international business, but is still run by the family. Jon and his wife Dali live on the beach in Hawaii with their 2 daughters, and help run the Pyzel Surfboards factories on the North Shore and in Oceanside, CA. We take great pride in every board we build, and have do our very best to make sure that our customers are getting exactly the right board for what they want to do. We have trusted licensees building our boards on every continent, and Jon shapes in Australia, Europe, Brazil, Japan, Indonesia, South America and California. Over the years, Pyzel boards have been ridden by many of the world's best surfers, including:
