Pyzel Mini Ghost

[oeste858]

Once again this has morphed into Salsa thread Where are the ride repopos on this board? Almost Yolo'ed a 6-0 OTR, pulled into the shop lot, had 2nd thoughts, and pulled out Looking to replace a Rad"Dad" Rippa.

that is some impressive willpower!

more like guilt power just dropped some serious coin on a kitchen remodel putting the last bits on a credit card. No interest until 2023 thou

This is the way.

checked one out today and really dug the outline. coincidentally the same dims as my gx but a full liter more but that can be explained by the chunky rails

I’ve yet to have mine out in really solid waves but so far I’m stoked on how it feels

Any updates/reviews on the Mini Ghost, I am ready to YOLO one. I went to a few local shops non were in stock, so appreciate any insight.

 

[silentbutdeadly]

if you were ready to YOLO you'd buy one without asking. that will be the norm in 2022

rain check yolo is also 2022.

Have had a few sessions under my belt in punchy shifty beach break and it handles steepness well, even with the relaxed rocker and forward thickness. Been running it with the Hayden quads

Mini Ghost or Phantom for chest high - 1 ft overhead Outer Banks? Felt em up and liked both, can only afford one.

 

[racer1]

You know what to do.
Yolo both.

 

[rgruber]

Regular Ghost would work in that. You might like the extra length for paddling if it's shifty with lots of water moving and gives you more upper range.

+1 for regular ghost. That’s what I surf in those conditions when I’m there.

This guy is riding it as a round pin in the OBX:

Thanks fellas, Ghost is a no brainer for the good days but thinking more about those average-fun days, was set on a mini-ghost til I felt up a phantom, now torn

 

[racer1]

One of my buddies rides a Phantom in everything unless it's huge.
He claims one board quiver.
Quad if barreling, thruster for everything else.

I haven't ridden the mini ghost but i love my phantom as a quad. JJF fronts, HS rears.

I just posted a comment on Reddit and a bot informed me that I'd written a Haiku. Here it goes...

How do you like that
Mini Ghost? What kind of waves
Do you ride it in?

I have had a phantom and have a ghost in close to the same volumes (+/- .5). I have surfed both in NC surf, in the Outer Banks and in the Southern Outer Banks (weaker), and can say that both handle that surf easily. I did not find the Phantom to be significantly better in chest to waist high bowls with steep faces. For the Outer Banks surf chest high+ is the ghost's bread and butter.

I have not ridden nor seen the mini ghost. In experience the phantom xl or mini-ghost is better companion for under chest high and up hollow, powerful surf. The Ghost is a great board for the conditions in the Outer Banks you mentioned.

I've not surfed the mini-ghost, but the Phantom's an incredible board, and you can't make a mistake in picking it up. One thing that I've not heard anyone else comment on, is just how any fin works in it. Raked, upright, flexy, stiff...Thruster, Quad, it doesn't matter, it just works.
