Introducing the Pyzel Padillac Surfboard- The Pyzel Padillac is one of the most proven big-wave guns ever built — the board John John Florence rode to victory at the 2016 Eddie Aikau Invitational. Billy Kemper also trusted the Padillac to win the 2015 and 2016 Jaws contests, while Mark Healey rode it to claim the 2014 Billabong XXL Biggest Paddle Award.
As the name suggests, the Padillac was designed to paddle fast and easily. Compared to most standard guns, it carries extra thickness and a fuller outline throughout the board, helping surfers catch and ride bigger waves with confidence. Built for serious surf, the Padillac combines speed, control, and paddle power in a clean, refined package made for heavy-water conditions around the world.
Surfboard Features
Outline – Fuller outline and added thickness throughout the entire board for increased paddle power, wave entry, and stability in heavy surf.
Rocker – Clean, continuous flowing rocker built for smooth control and confidence at high speeds.
Rails – Refined performance rails offering hold and sensitivity while maintaining confidence in critical conditions
Bottom Concave – Light vee bottom with double concaves for speed, quick turning ability, and control in powerful waves.
Tail – Pulled-in tail shape designed for hold, drive, and control in steep or hollow surf.
Fins – Quad fin setup only, chosen specifically for the speed and manoeuvrability this design requires.
Construction / Glassing – 6+6/6+6
Surfboard Performance
The Padillac is designed for surfers chasing speed, paddle power, and control in waves with real consequence. The fuller outline and added foam help get you into waves earlier and with less effort, while the continuous rocker and quad setup keep the board fast, smooth, and responsive once you’re on rail.
The vee and double concave bottom create surprising manoeuvrability for a board designed for serious surf, allowing quick direction changes while still maintaining control at high speed. Whether it’s Sunset, Cloudbreak, Puerto Escondido, Ocean Beach, or solid Indo swell, the Padillac is built to handle heavy conditions with confidence.
For larger surfers, it’s also an excellent option for an easier-riding step-up that still feels controlled and predictable.
Recommended Surf Conditions
Designed for deep-water, powerful waves and heavy surf conditions. Ideal for reef breaks, outer bombies, and serious point waves ranging from overhead to XXL surf.
