The 5'9 Pyzel Phantom Two is a 5'9 x 19 1/4" x 2 7/16" daily-driver shortboard with 28.7 liters of volume, built for surfers who want one board that handles everyday surf without giving up performance. The newest member of Pyzel's Ghost family, it pairs a fuller outline with extra nose rocker, so it carries speed through slow sections and still fits into steeper takeoffs. It is set up as a thruster with Futures fin boxes. Fins are not included.
How the Pyzel Phantom Two Surfs
The Phantom Two keeps the Ghost rocker and adds more lift in the last 12 inches of the nose, which helps on late, steep drops. A deep single concave flattens out the center of the board for lift and flow, while the wider nose and tail give it a more parallel outline that holds speed through flat spots. The hip squash tail tightens up your turning radius, so the board stays easy to pivot even with the extra area.
Volume sits under the chest rather than in thick rails. That gives you paddle power without making the board feel corky, and the medium/full, gently tapered rails stay forgiving while keeping enough sensitivity for rail turns.

Who the Phantom Two Is For
Pyzel designed the Phantom Two for waves from roughly waist high to overhead. It suits intermediate surfers looking for a performance board they can ride every day, as well as experienced surfers who want a forgiving shortboard for average conditions. If you ride a standard shortboard most of the time, the Phantom Two is a good option for the days when the surf is softer or less consistent.
Phantom Two vs. the Original Phantom
Volumes are very close to the original Phantom in the same lengths. The differences are in the shape: the Phantom Two adds more nose rocker, a deep single concave, a fuller and more parallel nose and tail, a hip squash tail, and softer medium/full rails.
