Introducing the Pyzel White Tiger Surfboard - a fun, stubby little board designed for average to below-average waves that gets up and goes easily, flies through weak sections and still lets you smash the lip and boost airs along the way.
Originally developed as a side project for John John Florence and later refined through extensive testing with Ivan Florence, the White Tiger quickly became a favourite for surfers wanting a high-performance small wave board that doesn't sacrifice speed, manoeuvrability or fun. Its compact outline, forward foam distribution and fast rocker create a board that feels lively underfoot while maintaining excellent paddle power and wave-catching ability.
The White Tiger combines a fuller nose, wide squash tail and generous volume with performance-focused bottom contours and refined rails. The result is a small wave weapon that carries speed effortlessly, transitions rail-to-rail surprisingly well and remains highly responsive through turns, airs and progressive surfing. Designed for average to below-average surf and everyday small wave conditions

Surfboard Performance
The White Tiger is all about creating speed easily and maintaining performance in weaker waves. The flatter rocker and fuller outline help the board get on top of the water quickly, generating speed without effort and carrying momentum through slow sections.
The single to double concave creates lift and acceleration, while the vee through the tail helps the wider outline roll smoothly from rail to rail and transition quickly into turns. Combined with the tapered rails and responsive squash tail, the White Tiger feels fast, loose and highly manoeuvrable while still retaining enough control for powerful surfing.
Recommended Surf Conditions
Best suited to average, below-average and everyday small wave conditions where speed generation and wave-catching are essential. Designed as a high-performance small wave board that excels in weak beach breaks, playful points and everyday surf where traditional shortboards struggle to maintain momentum.
Recommended Sizing
Ride the White Tiger approximately 2–5 inches shorter than your regular shortboard and ½–1 inch wider. Most surfers will benefit from adding slightly more volume than their standard shortboard.
