The Phantom Two is the updated version of one of Pyzel's most popular Daily Drivers — the Phantom — and the newest member of the Ghost Family. It's a step-down built off the Ghost rocker, designed to be your go-to board for slower, weaker waves in everyday conditions, while staying fully capable when the surf turns on.

Over the years the Phantom built an almost cult-like following, so Pyzel set out to refine it without losing what made it great: easy speed, fast paddling, stability and manoeuvrability. The first one went to John John Florence without telling him what it was — and after just a few surfs his verdict was that it was a genuinely fun board.

The base rocker comes from the Ghost, with added nose rocker through the last 12'' to make later, steeper take-offs easier. Underneath, a deep single concave under the front foot runs into a single/double concave through the fins and finishes with a light vee off the tail behind the rear fin — easy speed, plenty of drive and nimble handling.

The outline is fuller and more parallel through the nose and tail to hold speed through slow sections and tight turns. The key change is a new hip in a slightly pulled-in squash tail, adding hold in tight sections and allowing more pivotal surfing with tighter-radius turns than the original.

Rails are medium/full, soft and gently tapered, giving flotation and speed without losing sensitivity. Volume is carried through the chest for solid paddle power without excess overall thickness.

Best in waist-high to overhead waves of all types. As a guide, ride it around your height, a touch wider and about the same thickness as your Ghost or current high-performance shortboard — or go longer and wider if you're more of an intermediate surfer. Available as a thruster, quad or 5-fin setup. © Pyzel Surfboards
