From my experience, having had 2 original pyzaliens... You have to order it thinner than usual. 1/8 at least imo.
2 3/8 really feels and rides like 2 1/2 if not thicker.
P2 is different.
The man himself is very clear about that.

I’m 6’1@165. Soyboy dims on full display.

Widths around 19.25-19.75 depending on the stubby-ness.

figure 6x19.25x2.31 as the starting point.
Interesting. A little wide and thin. I tend to like narrower and thicker. Have you tried something like 19 or 18.88 x 2.4? Very good, especially if waves are cranking.

That is huge for someone his size. The thing probably floats him at his hips.

Over-volumed HPSBs make it difficult to be in the deepest takeoff spot, especially critical drops. Too buoyant.

Up and riding they sit way too on top of the water and can't engage the rail. No good.

You can get away with a board being a little undervolumed on a HPSB, they are a bitch to paddle but better than being on way too much foam.
The Brazzos would beg to differ.

Waves cranking are our shortcoming in San Diego. I used to ride 18.88 (coming from 18.5) but once I started having tim stamps make me boards and he was the one to suggest pushing out the width given where I surf and my height/weight, which worked very well for NCSD reefs which have many many flat spots and burger takeoffs to deal with. my last 18.88” wide boar was an OTR 5’11 lost subbuggy.

I did have a 6’3 OTR forget me not for cranking waves and have a core memory burned in at a certain spot that shall not be named or Duffman may beat me up after he’s done witb Tyson.

Info easily available, Medina especially rides boats for his size by your standards. Italo as well I believe.
Whatever Medina rides is irrelevant. Italo is primarily concerned with doing airs and has alot more muscle in the average server. FT was riding the same as me at my weight, I had a few of his boards that he never rode. There is a lot more to it than volume.

Interesting, I just decided to up my board dims substantially. I'm 5'10 175lbs 36yo

Was on a 5'4" x 21 x 2 3/8 fish now on 5'6" x 21 1/2 x 2 5/8 so going from ~31l to 34.5l.

On a good clean wave the 5'4" still felt amazing, but I felt like I was getting into a lot of waves late if they were kinda average. Never really felt like much of a problem on NS with all the push even small waves have. I've probably overshot the goal by a yard, but we'll see how the new board goes. I reckon I'll probably land on somewhere in the middle feeling good in terms of foam and shredability.
