The Pyzel Phantom is a new board designed as a "stubby" evolution of their popular Ghost model, aiming to perform better in smaller, less powerful waves while retaining the Ghost's characteristics. It features a wider overall outline with increased thickness through the rails for added foam and float, aiding paddling and glide in gutless conditions. The Phantom has a forward wide point and thickness flow, providing more foam under the chest and front foot to help generate speed. It comes with a squash tail as standard, with a round tail option available. Key design elements include a lower entry rocker similar to the Ghost, combined with significant tail rocker for easy maneuverability and drive through turns. A single concave runs through the center, transitioning to a double concave through the fins, with a slight V out of the tail, enhancing speed and rail-to-rail transitions. The Phantom is recommended for surfers who enjoy the Ghost but want something that excels in weaker surf, catering to intermediate to advanced riders across a wide range of conditions, from waist-high to overhead. Pros: Excellent paddle power and speed generation in smaller waves, easy to turn and maneuver, good float, versatile for various conditions. Cons: May not have the same high-performance ceiling as the Ghost in powerful waves.
