Ghost Performance with a Squash Tail
The Ghost Squash retains the performance-focused characteristics that have made the original Ghost such a popular design while changing the tail to a slightly pulled-in squash. Compared with the more drawn-out tail associated with the traditional Ghost, the squash provides additional lift and a more defined pivot point.
That translates to a board designed to feel lively off the back foot, allowing surfers to redirect quickly and release through turns while maintaining the speed and hold needed for quality surf.
Forward Wide Point & Refined Outline
The Ghost features a wide point positioned slightly forward of center, with thickness carried toward the front of the board. This distribution of foam helps with paddling and wave entry while the nose, rails, and tail remain refined for high-performance surfing.
The combination gives the Ghost a useful balance: enough foam where you need it to get into waves, paired with sensitivity through the rails and tail when you're surfing at speed.
29.9 Liters of Performance Volume
At 29.9 liters, this 6'0" Ghost sits squarely in performance-shortboard territory. The volume is distributed to support efficient paddling without making the rails unnecessarily bulky, helping the board maintain the precise and responsive feel advanced surfers look for when pushing hard through turns.
Performance Rocker for Speed & Control
Pyzel gives the Ghost a medium-to-low rocker through the front half, helping the board enter waves efficiently and generate speed quickly. More rocker through the rear of the board adds turning control and responsiveness, particularly when surfing in steeper sections of the wave.
This rocker profile helps the Ghost balance acceleration with control, allowing it to carry speed down the line while still fitting into tighter transitions and critical sections.
Single Concave with Double for Speed & Lift
The Ghost uses a single concave through the bottom with double concave incorporated into the design. This combination helps create speed and lift while encouraging quick rail-to-rail transitions.
Together with the Ghost's rocker and refined rails, these contours contribute to a responsive feel that allows surfers to maintain control while moving quickly through powerful sections.
Futures 5-Fin Versatility
This 6'0" Pyzel Ghost features a Futures 5-fin setup, allowing it to be ridden as either a thruster or quad. This gives surfers the flexibility to tune the board for different waves and surfing styles.
Set it up as a thruster for familiar control, pivot, and predictability, or experiment with a quad configuration when you're looking for additional down-the-line speed and drive.
Built for Quality Surf
Pyzel lists the Ghost for approximately 2-foot to 12-foot surf. Although it can perform across a broad range of wave sizes, the design was created with quality, powerful waves in mind and truly comes alive when there is enough energy to take advantage of its rocker, rail hold, and speed.
The squash tail adds a lively performance option to the Ghost platform, making this version particularly appealing when you want the Ghost's confidence and control with a quicker, more responsive feel off the tail.
Who Should Ride the 6'0" Ghost Squash?
The 6'0" Pyzel Ghost Squash Tail is best suited to intermediate-to-advanced surfers looking for a true performance shortboard for good waves. Its 29.9L volume provides a balance of flotation and sensitivity, while the squash tail rewards surfers who generate speed, surf off the back foot, and want to push through more aggressive turns.
