What Do The Best Big Wave Surfers Ride For The Hugest Eddie Aikau Invitational Ever?

[@goldeneagle3100]

Mason is a Legend. Always the best vibes

[@mrmr314]

Pyzel's normal shop boards have the widest point too up front (not talking about these big wave guns here). They suit John, Koa etc cos that's the way they surf and the solid waves in Hawaii (and big Indonesia etc) like that long tail curve. In Australia it's hard to get the Pyzels going unless it's big or pumping QLD, Victoria etc (yes I've had many). To Pyzel's credit the glass jobs are superior versus a very sorry lot of competitors. For normal waves, Pyzel should also make boards with the widest point below half way ... and thicker up the tail too. Not everyone weighs between 60 and 85 kilos (bigger guys struggle with these thinner boards).

[@surfcoach]

Agreed! Same here in Europe. Most people can't seem to make pyzels work here for exactly that reason

[@familyjay5636]

Go to a local shaper with these ideas and pay less for the product 😊

[@gabrielm.4554]

wide point forward assists in entry speed...

[@SWP805]

@@gabrielm.4554 no way??! Wow! You're really onto something there!🤔🤤🤣

[@gabrielm.4554]

@@SWP805 Let me spell this out for you, Watson- the OP post makes no fucking sense... that's my point. If the waves are small and weak, a less severe entry rocker and wider mid point should help, not hinder the paddler.

[@therealbeans]

That was really cool of Kelly.

I'm 75 and curious....what ever happened to the Sunset Invitational on the North Shore?

[@patipitts6630]

Mason is so fun to watch. Aloha

[@hendrikfaber3499]

What shades are Jon wearing!? They look sick!

[@artsline604]

Great vid everyone

[@asyouratty13]

it's called the "Padillac made by Pyzel. Obviously there's not "one" board for Waimea (or any where else), but more than a few riders were on Pyzel's boards

[@SWP805]

The Padillac is an "old" model. They're onto a different one now. Still used though.

[@SWP805]

@MagikMako Jon is from Santa Barbara lol. He's a haole local

[@SWP805]

@MagikMako they have a pyzel factory in zicatela I'd say it's global

[@SWP805]

@MagikMako he has many computers and shapers. Even here in his hometown. But yes you're correct on the North Shore he works very hands on with his elite team riders and friends.

[@FcSteezey]

huge waves ima stick to my foam chillin. y'all go in

[@JeremiahAlphonsus]

What’s with the ghetto speech?

[@d7seven]

The broadcast camera angle was garbage.Looks way crazier for this view.

[@CampDavid54]

Like like like totally like

[@patwishart8773]

Ooh I got the formula, formula yep that’s how u spell it , all those things that they say about boards but more kick in the tail been riding big waves since 1975 , 10 broken boards, not all wipe outs some trying to get though the face ,the top 4 feet ,are critical oh yea 1 m an half is the critical part your 9 + doesn’t fit in the curve, the next 15 + is the easy part if legs can take the G forces ,more training)board design, big fin , 2 small fin (thrusters) flat board, no fancy stuff ,eg conclaves ect , u might chine a rail if u have to , 70s rail is good to reduce size of rail if u going over 2half to 3 inch ,this helps penetrate the face ,not to corky yea that’s all I got , o more training climbing your leg rope is the best way to conserve energy and air

[@BalaHewinson]

What was Luke riding lol

[@W8ANDC]

More mason next time lol

[@kikischannel6771]

epic

[@Tonystarkes888]

probably not a boogie board

[@rasmuszaurins7233]

I don´t understand why didn´t you interview Keith Teboul instead of Jon Pyzel? As your own edit shows he is the one with total new ideas that other people would also like to have. New shape and new materials, left us completly clueless what it´s all about. Very poor journalism.

[@stephenwolfram356]

Oh wow am I allowed to comment here?

[@danodonnell7218]

No!

[@JeremiahAlphonsus]

It’s obscene that they allowed women to take spots from men who actually deserved it. 🤮🤮🤮 It’s also obscene that we’re not hearing an uproar about this. Break the silence, men. It’s time.

[@asyouratty13]

Idiot

[@surfcoach]

Because women don't deserve spots to the Eddie? 💀

[@clintjones9848]

I think it's cool. Give em a chance.

[@JeremiahAlphonsus]

@@surfcoach Exactly.

[@JeremiahAlphonsus]

@@clintjones9848 Not at the expense of men who actually deserve it. And there will always be men who actually deserve it. Man up, soy boy.
