The Phantom Two XL is the higher-volume version of the Phantom Two — the updated take on one of Pyzel's most popular Daily Drivers and the newest member of the Ghost Family.

It keeps exactly the same design — rocker, concaves, outline and rails — with extra width and thickness in every size, for surfers who want more paddle power, more stability and easier speed in small, weak surf without giving up performance when the waves turn on.

Over the years the Phantom has developed an almost cult-like following, so Pyzel decided it was time to make some updates that improve on the original design without taking away any of its best characteristics: easy speed, fast paddling, stability and maneuverability.

At the end of that process Pyzel made one for John John (without telling him what it was) and his feedback after just a few surfs on it was simple: “This board is really fun, I really like it!” High praise from the best surfer in the world. Pyzel knew he had succeeded in his mission.

The Phantom Two is a squashed down, souped up daily driver with added volume, great for your everyday sessions in less than epic conditions.

It is based off the Ghost rocker but with added nose rocker through the last 12’’ to help make later, steeper take-offs easier.

It has a deep single concave to flatten out the rocker through the center, creating lift, speed and flow without taking away from the overall performance or feel of the original design.

The width in the tail and nose creates a more parallel, fuller outline which helps keep speed up through slower sections and tight turns. The new Phantom Two outline features a hip squash that allows for more pivotal surfing and tighter radius turns than the original version.

The rails are soft and forgiving, medium/full, but gently tapered, giving you more floatation and speed without taking away the sensitivity that we all love. And, as in many of our designs, the volume carries through the chest area of the board for solid paddle performance without too much overall thickness. Still best in waist-high to overhead waves of all types, the Phantom Two is a great updated daily driver with a high performance edge.

Key Changes are:

- New outline featuring a hip in the tail for added responsiveness through turns.

- Slightly pulled in squash for more hold in tight sections and easy maneuverability overall.

- Added nose rocker last 12’’ helps in late drops, hollower waves without sacrificing any paddling speed.

Depending on your ability, ride it around your height, a touch wider and about the same thickness as your Ghost or current HPSB, or go bigger and wider for those of you at more of an intermediate level.

This is a Daily Driver board that will help raise your performance level without sacrificing the things that currently benefit you. © Pyzel Surfboards
