The Pyzel The Grom Phantom is designed as a versatile, user-friendly shortboard, essentially a "stubby" version of the popular Ghost model, aimed at improving performance in smaller to medium-sized waves. It features a wider outline and increased thickness through the rails compared to the Ghost, providing more foam for paddling and float in less powerful conditions. The board boasts a forward wide point and thickness flow, offering good paddle power and speed generation, especially in weaker waves. Key features include a lower entry rocker for ease of paddling and speed, combined with more tail rocker for responsive turning. The bottom contour transitions from single to double concave through the fins, with a touch of V off the tail, enhancing rail-to-rail transitions and maneuverability. It's constructed with EPS and Team Lite glassing, contributing to a lively feel. The Grom Phantom is recommended for intermediate to advanced surfers looking for a high-performance board that excels in a variety of conditions, from waist-high to overhead waves, and is particularly suited for those who appreciate the DNA of the Ghost but need something that performs better in less-than-ideal surf. Pros include excellent paddle speed, responsiveness in smaller waves, and good overall maneuverability. A potential con, depending on rider preference, might be the slightly less refined feel in larger, more powerful surf compared to boards specifically designed for those conditions.
