The Crisis Twin by Pyzel Surfboards

[@stephenwouw8624]

I just had 2 sessions on it surfing Canggu Bali waves. This thing flies! It's so fast and the upright fins gives you all the freedom to surf it as you want. Frontside and backside! I have the entire Ghost family except for the Gremlin. So I've been surfing thrusters exclusively and this is the first twin that doesn't surf dreary and sluggish and have to change your approach too much. I can surf it as a shortboard, and have the same approach. Your back foot placement determines whether you spin out, slide out or do full carves or surf vertically. My Shadow's are 5'10 and around 26L, Phantom 27L EPS and Ghosts 28L. (going up in volume on my next batch of boards) I'm 5'9 77kg I ordered the Crisis Twin as custom with the advised dims at 5'8 x 19 1/2 x 2 1/2 @ 29.5L Fins I'm using are the NVS Album uprights. It's very refreshing to surf this board when surfing mostly thrusters, and I think it's cheating, you get every wave, you free up the tail so much more, and this could be problematic for the future as it is very addictive. I have the White Tiger, Red Tiger and a couple of new Ghosts ready to ordered custom, but this board the Crisis Twin is postponing the order. I might have to ask Jon to make my next order with a twin setup or seek other models.

That rocker is sooo sweet, good idea for a twin!

Pyzel the GOAT, I have the Astro Pop and love it.

[@onshore1ft]

I am 5'8 75kg. I have a 6'0, it feels like a more good wave board if you aren't surfing Hawaii style waves. Wide point is far forward and tail is quite narrow so it needs big fins in weaker waves to get drive. I have been using BMT but they are still a bit small. I love Pyzel boards, I have a gremlin, phantom and ghost they all go amazing.

[@PyzelSurfboardsInternational]

Thanks for the feedback. You are 100% right about bigger fins for drive and I have been using our Bobcat twin fin set myself.

[@gilliamm.5732]

Nice!

[@andrewmitchell9892]

How would this go as a step up in the longer lengths ? Or is it too flat ?

[@PyzelSurfboardsInternational]

I think it would be sick, as long as the takeoffs on the wave you are riding were not too step/late

[@davidkaiser8739]

What size is the board in the video?

[@PyzelSurfboardsInternational]

5-11

[@C.Medina]

Completely innocent question, but what will be the difference between this board and the wildcat other than having channel? Like the board. ..both as matter of fact.

[@PyzelSurfboardsInternational]

Hi-- The Wildcat is more towards a "performance" design. The Crisis is a mid-length style outline and has flatter nose rocker overall. Just basic thought is that the CT is more of a cruisey style board

[@GIF_CANCEL]

Kinda like a reverse vee?

[@52factorial]

yea, kinda like Jim Banks has been doing for decades...

[@bonsummers2657]

Let's see it surfed.

Nice nice

Yet again these guys only shape for surfers up to 80kg, and then in good waves. All twins need a back box for a trailer fin if required (barrels on twins can be problematic). If you want more than 40 litres he's going up to 6'8" and so-on. This needs to be addressed. Plenty of bigger guys want litres but not heaps of length.

Pyzel makes performance boards for Hawaii-grade waves, nothing wrong with that. They‘ll make you a custom, too.

[@PyzelSurfboardsInternational]

HI. When I am coming up with stock sizing for different models I have to go with kind of middle-of-the-road dimensions to make them best for largest section of surfers. We also make our most poplular designs in "XL" versions for larger/heavier surfers, but we only get limited rack space in shops so they are not going to have all the sizes we offer on hand in most places. If you are a smaller OR larger person you are going to have to order custom boards in order to get exactly what you want and we are happy to help make that happen for you. We build our boards in factories all around the world, so wherever you are you should be able to get a custom made and delivered to you pretty easily.

[@jakehardy5997]

That’s the same with any major surfboard shaper. I’m a bigger guy too (6’3 and 215lbs) and know I’ll probably have to end up ordering a custom when I order a board, no big deal. There are plenty of boards in Pyzels lineup that have a good diversity of waves (white tiger, wildcat, mid length crisis). Also, any shaper will shape in accordance to the conditions of the waves in their vicinity

[@52factorial]

😂 Tell me you've never been barreled without telling me you've never been barreled... "all twins need a back box" hahaha, rofl Mr. Expert Shaper.
