Pyzel Mid Length Crisis Surfboard Review - The Regular Guy

Ever since Pyzel announced they were releasing this board, I have wanted to review it. Coming out of Hawaii, I suspected this board would like a bit of grunt and it did not disappoint! Pyzel really pulled out a hard charging Midlength. I surfed it in hollow Beachbreak, some pretty flat conditions and then in solid 6-8ft Jbay. I rode it in the stock dimensions: Size: 7'6 x 21 3/4 x 3 1/16 Volume: 53.40 Litres I weigh 115kg and am 6ft Tall. Order: https://www.pyzelsurfboards.co.za/products/mid-length-crisis Pyzel say of the board: Easy paddling, responsive and loose, the Mid Length Crisis has a semi-traditional, wide-point forward outline that is sleek and race'y for fast, down-the-line drive, but full bodied enough to provide added stability and glide in weaker, slower waves. It has a beautiful foil from nose to tail, with a rolled deck that leaves the meat in the middle of the board to help with paddling and nicely thinned out rails for sensitivity and bite. The rocker is a moderate, long, clean curve running from tip to tail without any radical changes or flip. It is designed for fast paddling and to easily generate speed, carry flow, and smooth turning at any speed. The bottom contours are a mild vee with double concave built into it (the old school term is Spiral Vee). This basically means that the board has no problem tipping from rail to rail, making smooth transitions through turns an easy accomplishment for all levels of surfer. The fin set-up is 2+1 single box, which gives you options of single fin flowing or the added drive and control of some small side-bites.
