We don’t know too much about The Pyzel Shadow yet but here is what Jon Pyzel had to say.
Pyzel’s The Shadow is designed to give you all the advantages a wider, forward outlined type of board but in a more streamlined package. It features our version of a high performance outline of the Ghost family, but with the wide point at center not back. We pulled in the nose outline of the Ghost family, but with the wide point at center not back. We pulled in the nose by almost ½ inch and added some extra rocker through the last 12ʼʼ in the nose to keep it a bit more free through critical turns. It also has a gentle hip and the squash tail is pulled in a touch more to help tighten the turning radius and add some extra spark. The tail rocker and bottom concaves remain nearly identical to the Phantom, which has proven to work really well in everyday conditions world wide. The thickness flow, or foil, is different than most other high performance shortboards, keeping the volume a little bit in front of the center, but not overly exaggerated. This added foam under the chest area not only helps add paddle power, but it also gives you extra float under your front foot in slower sections which translates to more speed and flow. We recommend riding the Shadow about an inch longer than your height and in your favorite high performance dimensions.
“The Shadow is our new high-performance shortboard addition to the Ghost family.”
