The Red Tiger Inspiration

The idea for this board was hatched when John began riding some different  fun boards during some breaks from competing. By far his favorite in the last year has been our new flat rockered, Funformance board, the White Tiger (5'6"), and he asked to turn that design into something he could take back on tour to ride when the surf was less than pumping or on the weaker side.

The Pyzel Red Tiger Features

Outline

The Red Tiger outline is a touch on the plump side for a high performance short board, but the wide point sits a more traditional inch behind center, keeping the emphasis to surfing it off the mid to back half of the board. 

Tail Design

 The wider tail-block squash helps to keep area in the tail which provides lift and drive, and also helps create pop when going to the air. A moderate hip by the front fins puts a break in the outline to help create a pivot point that allows for tighter radius turns and release in the lip.

Rocker

The rocker and bottom contour is really what sets this board from other boards in this category. Its our flattest HPSB so far and that rocker translates to easy, consistent speed from the moment you stand up, through flat sections and even in super weak, small waves

Concave

But, flat rocker can feel sticky and tends to make you surf flat, so we run single to double concave (JJF's favorite bottom contour) through the front 2/3 of the board and then blend that into a significant double concave/deep vee combo through the fins and off the tail. This bottom keeps the flatter board easy to roll rail-to-rail and the vee of the tail works to allow easy vertical surfing and short-arc carves, even in tight, pockety waves.

Sizing

Pyzel suggests riding The Red Tiger around an inch shorter than normal high performance and a bit wider. Volume should be close, but go up a ½ to1 liter for added zing in weaker waves. 

Other Board Suggestions: Looking at the Red Tiger but want a slight step up that will perform in pumping bigger 4ft + maybe the Pyzel Ghost is what you are after.
