Pyzel Precious

[slipped_disc]

It's a surf publication for chrissake. They're run by surfers. I think it's more spicoli errors than intentionally misleading.

And the piece that you are freakishly obsessed about, that no surfers get paid... have you even seen that episode? because they don't actually say what you think they said.

save the indignance for something worthwhile.

Ride Report

I was able to take a stock 5'9 (30.8L) Precious for a spin yesterday in the points north of SC. I'm 180-185lbs and 6'0. I'm in pretty good shape as my local is OBSF, and I just came back from a couple weeks in Hawaii. Conditions were chest-high to a few feet over head, not overly steep, but had a decent amount of push.

Board paddled really well, glided well across the surface of the ocean. I felt like it paddled better than other boards I've had in this size range (CI G-skate). The step deck took some time getting used to when sitting on it, felt a bit awkward at first. I only ended up waxing the step deck, next time I'll wax where I usually place my hands for duck-diving.

It got into waves really easy. It has that same sucky feeling when you're paddling into a wave that a Ghost has. Lot's of speed and drive (thruster setup) and I never got behind a section. When I got good waves, I could do whatever I wanted to do.

Hopefully testing it more in "meh" waves this week at OBSF. The "meh" waves I got yesterday were waves that had a bowl-y takeoff but died almost immediately after.

How do you find the Precious handled compared to the GSkate on the wave, besides paddling?

How do you find the Precious handled compared to the GSkate on the wave, besides paddling?

I found that I kind of had to draw out my turns on the g-skate due to the width in the outline all the way to the nose. It wasn't a great grovellor, most likely because it had a very narrow tail block

Got a lot more time in on the Precious at the same point break. Switched out the thruster for a set of M Album quads from NVS. I think it goes better as a quad (speed, drive) in average waves.

So, I'm the proud owner of a 7'11 Paddilac, a 7'2 Paddilac, a 6'8 Mid-length crisis, a 6'3 Pyzalien 2, and a 6'3 ghost.

I'm 6'3 '180 lbs, 36, and an "intermediate" surfer who surfs daily and likes bigger waves. Think Jardim do Mar, in Madeira. My happy place is 2x to 3.5x overhead on a slopey right-point break.

I love all the boards except the mid-length. Which I never really got along with.

I was considering a fish for the low-end surf—knee-high to head and half on soft right-point breaks (El Salvador).

But now I've been looking at a Precious; do you have any reports on how it grovels? For reference,

I'm looking to fill out a three-board quiver for travel / have a groveller, so when I'm trying to teach my girlfriend to surf her longboard, I don't want to kill myself. I've been thinking 6'0 precouis, 6'3 ghost. 7'2 Paddilac could be the ticket. How flexible is the Precouis, and how well does it surf the smaller stuff? Jai showed it works when there's a bit of power. I'm considering the Precouis as a Pyzalien 2 replacement with a slightly lower low and perhaps slightly lower top end; I find the Pyzalien 2 starts to over 2x Overhead.

Hi -- Precious is not meant to be a Groveler. I would recommend you take a look at the White Tiger. It is a great small wave board that seems to please a lot of people. It is essentially a fish with a squash tail

 

[stringcheese]

White Tiger looks nice. Sat one on top a lost Pisces in a shop and the tiger is more of a fish

Thanks legend. Would you mind letting us know why a squash instead of a good ol swallow? Both in the precious and the white tiger. Cheers, much luv for your art.

Both "just because"... You can order them custom with swallows

Shades of GG. Solid answer

Taro on not the precious, but some other velocity model around the 10:15 mark. God he's smooth!

Yewstreet, I'm just over here minding my own business, waiting to hear a long-term review of your precious.
