I was preaching smaller fins in the ghost like 40 pages back but no one listens to me.

yes that what i seem to have read you are right. my seaside is 35l, and i cannot pack something bigger than 6.0 or 6.1 max (currently wandering abroad) so i thought maybe just take the xl version to fit more volume, but i have seen that volume isnt everything. And since i am not a bigger guy, i am probably not the targeted audience, not sure it would be a wise idea to take it without more info.Not sure if it answers your question, but the Ghost XL is aimed at bigger guys who wants to pack more foam into the board, I'm not sure it's more "user friendly", if that's what you're asking? By the sounds of it, you shouldn't worry too much about giving up performance though.
great to hear"handle big waves much better than my current board "
I don't have a Ghost myself, yet, but It's safe to say that at least that box is ticked
Where are you surfing where you're getting 6-10ft waves often... on a Seaside no less ?!
Thank you ! I cannot try them unfortunately, but the description you say is actually interesting, when you mean bite, you mean like you adhere less to the hollow waves /steep drops ? Because that was my main reason to not be sure about the xl dimensioms, since i am taking it entirely for its big waves handling abilities.@cros The difference between the 6'1 stock and 6'1 xl is 2 liters. Thats a lot at that length. My rule of thumb with Pyzels boards are try them at stock dims first before you do anything. So get a 6'1 stock and see how it goes (assuming thats the right length for your stepup), then if you want to tweak it order a custom. I can tell you that as these things get thicker you lose a little performance, thats the cost of the added paddle power. Also you lose bite when its steep/hollow, but you can negate that with quad fins.
okok got it, that's actually great advice and what i was looking for as information so thank you guys !Well I ride a 6'5" stock so I cant truly comment on what the 6'1 is gonna do, but yeah that pretty much what I mean. Holding tight in the pocket or on a steep face as far as "bite" The extra volume and chunkier rail makes it a little different.
