Pyzel "Red Tiger" Surfboard Review Ep 134

In this episode, Noel Salas reviews the "Red Tiger," which is John John's model, by Pyzel Surfboards. Noel rides his custom 5'6" high performance board with XTR10 foam with epoxy resin at 25.7 liters. He pairs it with signature Neutral Thruster fins, a Pivot thruster set up, but then a Pivot Twin + Trailer brought the board to a whole other level in the pool and ocean. He claims it is a solid performance board in the pool. The Red Tiger has a flat deck, its wide point a little back from center, and tapered rail keeps it sensitive and promotes pocket surfing. Noel rides a stock 5'7" XL Dims Red Tiger at 26.7 liters in PU Poly in the ocean and changes out the fins from a Raked template to a Neutral template to loosen up the board. In addition, Noel teams up with Ian "Wooly" Macpherson from Wooly TV in West Australia where he gives his take on the Red Tiger coming in at 6'2 and 34.2 liters. Ian says it works well in some larger, shoulder-high waves, it projects well into the lip, and it held the rail after he set his back foot further back on the pad. Ian really begins ripping on the Red Tiger. Then, TJ from Pyzel compares the Red Tiger to the Phantom in the Pyzel line up. The Red Tiger has less rocker, more dramatic bottom contours and pivots faster than the Phantom in his opinion. Finally, Noel says the Red Tiger needs a good, punchy wave to really shine, but says if you're looking for a surfboard that loves to carve and bridges the gap between a high-performance short board and daily driver, the Red Tiger falls right in line. Enjoy!
