5'9" Pyzel White Tiger

The White Tiger was a side project board for John John Florence, who rarely rides 'fun' boards. It sat in his garage for maybe a year, and in the meantime a few were made for his brother Ivan. It was the perfect design to fit Ivan's surf/skate style. Finally JJF pulled the 5'6" out and was immediately having a blast on it.

It has a clean but stubby outline, with a very full nose and wide squash tail. There is no hip and the wide point is 1 ½" forward of the center. The tail measurement is just slightly wider than the nose. The thickness is also concentrated forward, with a beak-nose design that helps keep the volume up under the chest area for better paddle power.

It has a relatively flat deck that blends out into tapered rails. This keeps a lot of volume in the board while still keeping it sensitive through turns and easy to pump down the line without feeling too boaty for its volume.

Recommend riding the White Tiger anywhere from 2-5" shorter than your regular shortboard depending on your surfing ability, and ½ to 1" wider and add a bit more volume than you normally ride.
