I'm 6'2, 175. 35 and surf daily. I'm definitely not at Jakes level of surfing. I have the Phantom 6'2 and a Pyzalien 6'3; both are "stock" dims. Off the bat, I found the Pyzalien to feel more natural and be faster. it felt like it had better hold, too. The Phantoms rails seem to be chunkier, I also found it slightly harder to duck dive
imo the libtech boards can be a little stiffer feeling than pu boards. tbh i havent ridden them much so my input wouldnt have too much weight, but they do make some good models in those boards and a few of my friends ride them in the trestles area. they are durable and “do the trick”. i.e: they still surf good enough to catch waves/do turns/etc.. i am always looking for performance in the boards i get so i have stayed away from them as they are a bit less flexible and heavier.
Thank you for yours videos.I thought that this time with this board you have reduce the volume to much. No? I think that's why in the flatted zones you had less speed.
Sounds good. As of right now i rode the inferno 72 in well overhead waves and was really surprised at the hold it had. I still have to get some varied conditions to see how it goes in different waves. @@robysurf
I would say the red tiger feels more fluid rail to rail but the speed projection was not there. The red tiger was a little more predictable feeling, but personally I like the lively feel of the phantom. The red tiger felt more stable surfing bigger waves and was a little more precise.

Your surfing on that phantom looks really clean! Can I ask you for a quick statement on the Mayhem (LibTech) boards in comparison to the Phantom?

Hi! As daily driver, do you prefer the Phantom or the Red Tiger?
Phantom!
@@jakewetzel3186 Thanks! I will wait for your review of Inferno 72 and then I decide which one I go for!
How do you find the Phantom and Red Tiger differ in terms of their feel, speed and manoeuvrability? @@jakewetzel3186

Do you like the Phantom or sub driver 2.0 more?
the phantom feels a little better imo
Int surfer looking for first DD..I know you've ridden lots of pyzels ..do you prefer phantom or pyzalien 2?
Great review! How would you compare this to surfing the Red Tiger?
I would say the red tiger feels more fluid rail to rail but the speed projection was not there. The red tiger was a little more predictable feeling, but personally I like the lively feel of the phantom. The red tiger felt more stable surfing bigger waves and was a little more precise.
Thanks for this detailed response, makes choosing between them a bit easier!
