Pyzel Phantom Surfboard 6'1" x 20.25" x 2.63" – 34.4L
The Pyzel Phantom has earned its reputation as one of the most versatile performance surfboards in modern surfing. Originally developed as a step-down alternative to the Ghost, the Phantom quickly became a favorite among everyday surfers and elite professionals alike thanks to its ability to generate speed, maintain drive, and perform across a remarkably wide range of conditions.
The 6'1" Phantom delivers an ideal combination of paddle power, responsiveness, and control, making it an outstanding choice for surfers seeking a high-performance shortboard that excels in average to powerful surf.
Designed for Everyday Performance
Jon Pyzel designed the Phantom to bridge the gap between small-wave grovelers and high-performance step-up boards. The result is a board that feels fast and lively in everyday conditions while retaining the confidence and hold needed when the waves get bigger and more powerful.
A fuller outline through the front half of the board creates excellent paddling power and wave-catching ability, while the pulled-in squash tail and refined rails provide the precision and responsiveness advanced surfers demand.
Key Design Features
- Wider forward outline for improved paddle power and wave entry.
- Single to double concave bottom contour for speed and responsiveness.
- Moderate rocker profile balances drive and maneuverability.
- Refined rails offer excellent control through critical sections.

Fast, Responsive, and Versatile
The Phantom excels in the types of waves most surfers ride regularly. It generates speed effortlessly in weaker sections while maintaining drive through turns and transitions. The balanced rocker and bottom contours help create a smooth, predictable feel that inspires confidence whether you're surfing punchy beach breaks, clean points, or overhead surf.
Its versatility has made the Phantom one of Pyzel's most popular performance models, capable of serving as a daily driver for surfers who want one board to handle a broad range of conditions.
