In this episode I put the “Pyzalien 2” through the paces in 1-6’+ surf. We started our board testing at BSR Surf Resort in Waco, TX and the more I rode this model it quickly became a Favorite.
The Pyzalien 2 is fast down the line and offers quick rail to rail transitions with excellent projection and hold in a wide range of wave sizes. I also found it to be very versatile with different fin set up options to suit surfers that like Thrusters, Quads, and Twin + Trailer in 1-7’ surf.
This board excelled in 3-7’ surf and blew my mind in 1-2’ surf with it’s quick get up and go speed as a small wave performance board. The Pyzel website claims a pretty wide wave range from 2-10’ surf and they may have understated the low-end range on this model as it exceeded my expectations in 1’ surf.
The Pyzalien 2 is a FAVORITE of mine for the Daily Driver category but it’s truly a 1 board quiver for surfers looking for a board that excels in 1-7’ surf. I highly recommend the Pyzalien 2 for intermediate - pro level surfers.

Another excellent review thanks Noel. The comparison with the Phantom and Astro Pop, was very helpful. Love that sort of thing.
Man, you are the best! This is by far the most informative surf channel on YT.
I appreciate how you alternate frontside and backside waves. very refreshing versus just seeing frontside waves all the time
Ever since this review I have been watching out for a P2, finally picked mine up. Thanks Noel.
Really good to hear what you say about the board and its response to back, neutral or front footed surfers. I think this is a very important element to a board and would love to hear your thoughts on other boards and whether they suit front or back footed surfers more.
Noel, I had my favorite cereal before starting my day. Mahalo for all of your reviews. The way you describe these subtle differences will help many surfers narrow their decision when choosing a board base on their experience, style and goals. Aloha.
John Vallesteros Excellent... that’s my hope for our community.
Noel, you are an amazing surfer and reviewer! Pure pleasure to watch your videos. The best on the Internet.
Cheers for the kind words
The best board review I’ve seen.
Good stuff keep them coming... Glad you mentioned us on the east coast... Thanks for the heads up 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
Hmmm food for thought regarding the 1 board quiver. Great review!
Bought my pyz2 because of this review. Really fun board.
Great review as always Noel. Looks like an amazing addition to the quiver
Bryce Molenkamp Absolutely
Thanks, Noel
Easily the best reviews on the web
My only problem is that your skills are so good - you get magic out of a board that I can only dream of
I picked up a 6'0" x 19.5 x 2.5 PU coming in at 31.5L. Im 5'10", 170lbs and rode it at head high to a few feet over head at Middles. I absolutely LOVE this board and it was exactly what i was looking for. Something i can put more on rail and get a little more HPSB feel out of it. I have the JJF large thruster set in it. Just magic with head high + surf with some oomph.
My daily driver is usually a Firewire Glazer ( 5'7" at 33.5L, ) with the Machado Thruster set, or a Seaside ( also 5'7" and 33.5L) with the Controller Quads. As Noel has highlighted, the wider/flatter boards tend to want to catch up around the nose.
Perhaps A 5'10" Mini Ghost might be next for me. In chestish high, the 6'0" feels a little long.
As always , I grabbed my favorite drink and really enjoyed the show \m/
So I'm not the only one grabbiing my fav drink too ! :D
Thank you so much mate 🙏🏼! I was really curious about it and you just gave me the green light 🔥🔥🔥
Great review, suprised on the range of this board, I'm going to have seriously look at this one. You were throwing some crazy buckets geez. I'm really hoping you will review the new FCS 4 fin as your knowledge of fins is unmatched. Thanks
solid review man. on the list for sure
Love your reviews Noel!
Love the videos. You are so knowledgeable. keep it up!
Great episode! Thanks Noel
Best daily driver to date!!!!...wow that's a heavy statement I'll have to get one and have a go at it in HUNTINGTON this summer. Rad review great surfing as always this channel's priceless.
surfer soldier for Christ Yewww!! Thanks for the kind words. Let me know how it goes for you....
I’m trying to decide between an og flyer and the pyzalien 2. Is there an obvious choice? Sounds like the p2? Also, as a 6’3” 170 lb intermediate is the 6’1” p2 going to be too much board at 33.1L? Thanks for the review.... awesome...
waiting on my custom 5'8". so stoked on this video!
Noel your reviews are great! And you rip! Thanks
I had the FireWire pizalien and was the same, the best board for all conditions, with the quad was ideal for powerful spots. But was nice for all conditions but not brilliant for anything, I think is a very nice choice for big guys that are intermediate, learning to turn well level.
So what would beat this board in this category then ?
Cheers noel stoked I found your review on this. Pretty sure im going to get me a eps version shaped in the uk 🤙 thanks Jon
Great review as usual. Major pressure dent on that one board!
Garret Douglas Yes the EPS is pretty hammered. Team light glass for maximum performance but not very durable.
noels reviews just cant be compared to others, on another level
Yewww!!! Cheers
Got my one yesterday and took it out for a spin today! What a sick board! Alredy my favorite, as an intermediate level surfer i ve to say this is the perfect board, easy to surf and really user friendly!
would you say it is good for an intermediate to just a bit under surfer
I picked mine up 2nd hand and only knew how to surf down the line. But this board changed my life, got the hang of it real quick, throwing cutbacks, roundhouse etc.
Had to play around with fins a bit tho and the thruster (performance carbon core) felt too stiff, swapped in two quad rears and it completely changed the board.
Also just tried it with the MF Twin+1 and it's even more fun.
Prefering thruster in everything overhead though, to not slide out on the bottome turns.
I'm 6'3" 95kg, pretty fit and ride it as 6'0" XL (34.x L)
Usually surfing decent point break in western NZ.
In OH and DOH I wish I had the standard dims with same volume, just more length but trying to figure out if I should go for a Ghost or Ghost Pro for those bigger days now...
Hi Noel, excellent review and the amount of shares knowledge and analysis. Question: P2 or rnf96? And how compares to CI everyday happy? … on 2 to 6 feet wave. Thanks bud
Hi, great review, this board is on the same floor level than you? thanks
Good explanation on foam distribution and drive styles. This could be my next boatd.
Still rippn dude! Unbelievable. U should sell vitamins. I'd buy em
Thanks For this informative review!
I seen this board @ camp shred this last weekend, BTW you should set up there so that your viewers can talk story and get a chance to interact with you in person. Just saying
Cheers!!!!🏄🏽♂️
Great review as always. This is by far my favorite channel on the tube. Soo much to learn!
BIG SHOUTOUT TO AARRON for capturing all of the surfing radness for every review!
I have a question regarding fins: You often run a quad setup with Large neutral front/ Medium upright back fins in smaller waves and or to loosen up a board. I weigh around 195 lb. Should I go XLarge front/ Large back then? Thanks in advance!
T. Rudolpho Just go Large sides and Medium Quad rears... if you want a little more hold then go Large Quad rears
@@surfnshowreviews7777 Thanks, Noel!
So Noel, how does it compare to the Phantom? LOL j/k. Awesome review, always great how you play with fin setups and try sth new.
Hey Noel, between the Shadow and the Pyzalian 2 for Socal surf (Swamis and Trestles) for an intermediate surfer which would you prefer? The recent Pyzel video with Jon talking about the Ghost and Shadow has me liking the Shadow more than ever, but I'd like to know more about the main differences between the Shadow and Pyzalian 2, as it seems like more of an all-rounder. Thanks!
Wesley Chapman The P2 will carry more speed... it seems to have less rocker
Noel - as always thank you so much for your contribution to the larger Surfing community !
Trying to pick between the pyzalien 2 and hypto krypto for my next board.
My main 2 boards are a local shaper version of an average joe (5’8” 20” wide full rail) that I ride with stretch quads and a JS Monsta Box. (2017 6’0 33l - bought after watching your review- Ka fcs2 medium fins )
I love the Monsta box on good days but harder to get going in junk .. My joe clone works well as a log alternative but doesn’t turn so well ..
I’m looking for something with more versatility that I can still progress my surfing - more waves , speed generation, turns ….
As a note, find I actually at times ride my Monsta box better back side .. I think I’m getting my weight more forward . I surf manly in south bay of LA. I’m 58 fit 175 lbs 5-9. I surf 3-4 days a week.
Any thought or guidance appreciated. Dave
I like the Mini Ghost Squash in those type of waves. Good speed, quick pivot, and release when you want it.
@@surfnshowreviews7777 thank you much ! I’ll check out your review. !
i got the pu 5.8 stock dimension this morning and had first session in 6/8ft+ point brake large performance fins really fast board very good top to bottom surfing catching wave machine probably the best daily i had love at first paddle that is Noel your review halp me every time I buy new board
So stoked for you!!! Yewww
The board seemed to work for you .Cool little Cheeky lip slide on da right.
Really interested in this board as a replacement for a Lost Puddle Jumper that I have never really got on with. Want a single board for a range of conditions. Great review. Thanks.
Did you get it? I have the puddle jumper 5’11 got the pyzalien 6’2. Puddle jumper rips in everything. Struggle to get the pyzalien going in most surf unless it’s perfect for it
Awesome review. Purchased the Pyzalien 2 with Machado’s quad Futures. Stoked
How did the fins turn out for the board? I have them but never tried. I've been riding either Roberts Large Thruster or ad a quad with HS rears. Both goes well. Incredibly fast
Dennis Imhof Yo! The quads ripped but a bit too much of a pivot template for me. They felt great on snaps but not so much on drawn out carves. Opted for the other side of the spectrum with the AM2s, feels skatey with more rake
Thanks bro. Ya I can never go wrong with the AM2s. Try some Roberts ..they are V2s and decent rake and finer tip. My all time favorite fin.
Hey Noel, great job on the review as usual. Always impressed that you reply to questions in the comment section. My question is in regards to PU vs Epoxy: if you had to pick one which would you choose? I’m wondering if the epoxy is still enjoyable on bigger waves say 4-8 foot or if not does the PU handle the smaller size without losing much performance. Cheers Noel 🤙
Mayor of Kooktown I would choose PU for 4-8’ surf and EPS for 1-4’ surf. If your getting this board then consider what size surf you shred most of the time I surf 1-5’ surf 90% of the time so I would go EPS. If I lived in HI or a place where it’s always choppy surf then I would go PU.
Surf n Show Reviews Size does get up there but most of the year it’s 4 and below. Sounds like EPS is the best option. Fired up to get this, my old lost v3 rocket finally bit the dust and it’s time for a new/different fun board. Thanks for the reply, the effort you put in for the love of surfing is much appreciated
It would be really interesting to see what you thought of the board in 1-2 ft surf in PU construction. Cos if it's a 1 board quiver you can't have it in PU and Epoxy :)
Thanks for the killer review! Right now I own a Slater Sci-Fi and trying to figure out what would be a better option for me here in Hawaii. I was thinking of keeping the Sci-fi and getting a shadow or ghost for those days it goes above 6+ or just getting the pyzalian as a daily driver and selling my sci-fi. What's your suggestion on this and is there any other board you'd recommend for those 6+ days?
Ghost if it’s hollow... Shadow if it’s more high performance surfing with barrels. I would replace the SciFi with the Pyzalien 2.
great review
Does a back-footed one struggle to generate speed with front-wide boards?
Hi! From Brasil... Love yours reviews. Learning a lot from them... Ok, I understood P2's your favourite daily driver/ 1board quiver. But... wich boards would you choose for 2 boards quiver? One board to 1-3' and the other to 4-6'+? (In my country there's nobody doing anything similar to what you do. Sad. Feel lucky I've found your channel!)
Xiru Sander Scherer 1-3’ I like these grovelers... Astro POP, Ultra Joe, PJHP, Gremlin, Black Baron. Small Wave daily drive boards... NB2, UD XL, P2, Fishbeard.
Gonna pull the trigger on one of two boards. For a daily driver in so cal. For a old guy with ok skills. PA2 or lost sword fish?
Out of this board, firewire sci-fi, js monsta box, and sub driver 2.0 which is easiest to paddle on?
Thanks for another great review Noel! i saw one of your other videos on tail pad placement; with the start of the kick on the back of the pad positioned in line with the rear of the centre fin for a thruster set up, and wonder if you can offer any advice on the tail pad placement for the Pyzalien 2? i noticed the pad in this video looks a little further forward. I know the leash plug doesn't allow the pad to go too far back unless you notch a cut-out. Just wondering if i should get it right over the centre fin or a little further forward? Thanks
Notch or cut the pad and get it all the way back.
I currently have a phantom and love it, would it be worthwhile adding this to the quiver or too similar? Looking for another board to take on a trip to Sumatra.
Will Geddes I would be stoked to have both boards in my quiver. The P2 goes better in smaller surf... and in bigger surf the Phantom draws different lines... epic carving. P2 pivots better.
Hey Noel what board construction would u rather get for the East Coast surf out of NY. Im stuck between dims 5’8” 26.5L or 5’9” 27.3L if I’m 5’7 at 145 pounds, intermediate level is it a good paddler or should I go for the bigger size.
Antonio Principe it’s an ok paddler I would go 5’9” at 27.3
I love the little alien guy logo.
How come you only have 17.9K subs? Great reviews.
FD B Not sure.... however we are stoked on the Subscribers we do have.
he'll get there. his videos get a lot of views either way
epic mate, cheers
Amazing review, Noel! I think this will be a nice replacement for my rocket 9. Seems like it would be a smooth transition?
Carlos Ramos Absolutely... this Pyzalien 2 carries more speed compared to R9
Please review the Pyzel Phantom XL for us!
awesome review - I am looking at a shortboard for a 50 yr old 210 pound guy - torn between a big Pyzalien 2 or a phantom XL - which one would size up better and retain the performance qualitie? thank you
Sam Leary Phantom XL
Hey man, awesome review. I was set on the phantom but now im leaning to the pzyalien 2. On your phantom review you recommended 31-32L for me riding a phantom, would that be the same for the pyzalien 2? Im 6ft and 178 pounds, intermediate surfer. Cheers legend, hope youre doin alright amongst this virus chaos. Peace
Anthony All is good... our family is healthy and on lock down mode.
Yes I still recommend 31-32 liters for the P2. Cheers
Is the “easy paddle” on the phantom very noticeable comparing it to the P2?? Or both very close ? If there’s a considerable difference can it be offset with a little more volume on P2???
Is the bones wetsuit you were wearing a Buell? If so, How did you like it?
Another great review Noel. Do you ever run the medium JJFs in any boards or do you always stick to larges?
Christian69James Simetimes I do Medium JJF... I used them in the Spyder Fireball Fish board review
Amazing review and surfing as always Noel! Any thoughts on the P2 in a squash vs swallow tail?
Neil Simon Talk to the folks at Pyzel about that
Hello Mate! Great review as usual. I was wondering if you have any knowledge about the pyzalien (or any Pyzel) in Electrolite construction? I was thinking about getting one but can’t find much literature about it. Cheers!
Albert Ollé I have not tried the OG Pyzalien or Electralite tech. A bunch of my friends love the Electralite tech and the OG Pyzalien was Jon Pyzel’s Favorite go to board.
Your channel was my first stop when it was time to get at new daily driver, and this was definitely the board I went for and I couldn't be happier. I ended up with the Pyzalien 2 XL because I'm a solid 215 lbs in typically less-than-powerful New England surf (besides hurricanes and winter) and that was the right choice. Everything you said in the review was on point, and held true for the XL as well. Thanks again for the great recommendations and keep 'em coming so we can keep having valid reasons to expand our quivers!
What size did you get? I'm about the same weight and looking to get one.
@@guitarplayer714 I got my height, 6'1". I've surfed the regular Pyzalien 2 in the same size and I'm really glad I went with the XL. The extra volume really helps make it a true daily driver for all conditions, even weak swells.
I was Looking at the Shadow and Phantom. But After Watching the Pyzalien 2 Being Surfed,
I Bought Pyzealien 2 Last Night.8/30/2021
5'6' PyzeAlien 2 With a blue rail on the right and a red Rail on the Left.
Help--- ? What Fins do i try I am under 130lb.. the pyzel 5 set is $180 and its Large. I Have Futures Fins AM1 Techflex Tri Fin Set on My Rusty Should i try those? Or Get a AM Small 5 set . a quad set? I want to try them All But $$$.
Sweet review as always. Suspect music mind 😜
Amazing review! I’m very close to getting one now - but when does the driver 2.0 drop?
88jonpaul This Monday!!!
Check out the lyrics for the song, so fitting for the board.
I only picked it up on the 12th time of watching this video! :D
Also been meaning to ask if you go down a fin size for larger waves and what your rationale for doing so is? I usually ride a large fin as I am 93kg and was thinking about going down to a medium fin for bigger waves. I have ridden medium fins way in the past and while they definitely lacked drive they were much easier to manoeuvre thru turns. Take it easy!
Kapukataumahaka Ōwheo Yes... I often go down to Medium fins when the waves get bigger. The Medium fin seems to keep my rails engaged better at high speeds. Not on all boards but most of the time I like a medium fin in 5-8’+ surf.
@@surfnshowreviews7777 Got it, given my weight (93kg), perhaps I had better stay with a large fin in bigger surf.
Kapukataumahaka Ōwheo I agree
Hey Noel, another solid review. How does it compare to the CI Rocket Wide?
Roger Pye RW is a small wave shredder... this Pyzalien has a wider wave range... solid in 1-7’ surf. I think the Pyzalien 2 might even hang in bigger surf too.
Great review...could you please elaborate on what you meant about this board being more challenging for East Coast conditions? Is a fin change all that is needed to make the Pyzalien work better in NY? Or more importantly, do you have a favorite or board you would recommend for typical East Coast conditions?
What type of waves are you talking about on the EC? Grovelers type boards, hurricane swells?
Just my 2 cents, I’m on the East Coast and recently got the P2. Have surfed 1’ overhead OBX to knee high VB slop. Honestly seemed to excel in both, more drive in small surf than my grovelers and speed, hold, and snap in barreling head high plus surf. Noel was spot on with “true one board quiver”. Highly recommend for East Coast, especially NY and NC.
@@waterdog4191 Thanks for posting... your comments will help others!
Hey Noel! I already have a groveler (phoenix dhd) to surf 1~3ft, i want complete my quiver with pyzalien 2 or phantom(round tail for when the waves getting power or squash it’ enough?)… to surf like 3~5 ft… what do you recommend me? To beach breaks… thanks so much!!
The P2 will pivot faster and I like it better for Beachies.
Hey Noel, I was talking to you at Lowers about how you recommended the Driver 2.0 and its working great for me with the Dane fins. Any other fins you recommend me to try in it? Also i'm thinking about getting an epoxy board for when its really small, would potentially want a 5 fin option to try a quad, and was wondering which board you recommend. Hypothetically I would want this board to be good for trying airs (if that actually exists lol).
I like the Black Vulture 2 in Twin Tech for a good small wave shredder with a Twin + Trailer. My Raked template goes mental in the Lost Driver 2.0. Check them out here…

Hi Noel, great surfing as per usual! Can I ask, is the P2 less chunky (width, thickness combined) in the front half of the board than the Phantom? I have placed a few Phantoms under my arm and the swing weight feels/looks terrible. I have a Flash and it has more of a foiled HPSB feel, hoping the P2 is the same but would rather know the truth. Thanks!!
Kapukataumahaka Ōwheo The rails are bit on the full side. You will need to feel one up for yourself
@@surfnshowreviews7777 Definitely :)
My P2 feels nimble as under foot. I don't think you need to worry about it feeling heavy.
Hello Noel, awesome work! metaphysical doubt, I want to replace my oldish quiver killer 5'11 (31.5L PU), and the P2 and Phantom are top of the list. Local shop has P2 5'11 30,2L and Phantom 6.0 32.6L, both PU. My other board is a grovel baked potato 5'3 32L. I think I like better the P2 under arm and as I live in the mediterranean and waves lack power even when big and usually have texture and bumps. But 30,2L scares a little (45 yrs old, fit, average surfer, 5'10, 72kg). Any advice? 🙏
The Phantom paddles better and it’s easier to surf. Both boards are amazing but if the waves are weak and small maybe think about the Astro POP or Fishbeard. These two boards carry way more speed.
That was fast! I am taking a look at them, thank you man, cheers.
@@ags6470 what did you end up with?
Noel! Greetings from Puerto Rico! Thanks for the review! What size would you recommend me for the Pyzalien 2? Im an intermediate surfer. Im 6’0 tall 170lbs. Appreciate your reviews!
I suggest 32-34L.
Hi Noel! I’m 5’8 and 130 pounds surfing socal (creek, HB). I’m just starting to improve with pumping and minor turns and am using the rad ripper. I feel that it’s a bit squirrelly and awkward for me and i’m looking to downsize my current 28L to around 25-27. Do you recommend this board as a daily driver and if not do you have any other recommendations for 2-6’ surf at a beginner-intermediate skill level? Any response is appreciated thank you so much for your time.
Did you ever get this?
Good review Noel, what is the difference between a daily driver and a high performance shortboard, does a daily driver have less performance than a high performance shortboard?
Sunglowz Daily Drivers have less rocker and usually have a bit more width in the nose and tail. They are usually couple inches shorter in stock dimensions compared to most HPSB’s.
Thank you very much for your review braddah!!
I just watched the review for the mini ghost as well. I’m debating in between both. Looking for something to ride 3 - 8ft. Mostly to surf north shore HI and Central America.
I already have a T&C Pang 6’2 round pin for hollower days, DHD Sweet Spot 6’0 round tail and a Denis Pang fish 5’2 wide swallow for shoulder high and smaller days.
I need something to train cutbacks and rounder carves but with enough speed for quick responses.
I am 5’7 ; 165lbs
Which one of the two would recommend?!
Appreciate your time
Pyzalien 2
@@surfnshowreviews7777 thank you very much!
Hey Noel, Great surfing and equally Great Reviews with all the details and insights!! I have been riding a Channel Islands T-Low (6/1- 29.5 Lts) forever and it’s never been a good fit for me. I live in NZ and our west coast gets anything from 6-8 Ft solid Swell, down to 1-3 ft mush.... I’m deciding between a Monster box HYFI and the Pyzel P2 as a Daily Driver. I consider myself intermediate/advanced and I’m 5.11 & 180 pounds. Just wondering what you would suggest out of the two?? Thanks again for your advice and Channel 🤙🏻👌🏻
Christian Grbic P2 has a way better wave range at 1-8’+. The MB is only good in 3-5’ surf. I would go P2 without a doubt.
Surf n Show Reviews I was thinking the P2 as well, Appreciate your time and quick reply!! I’ll be spreading the word about your Channel..... By far the best out there, Cheers! 👍🏻
I had the same question and from nz as well , I've been riding a creased monster box hyfi.I worry that I'll crease the next hyfi I buy might go the P2
Timothy Jones I will be getting the new MB 2020 this week and start shooting for the review. My preference from the first MB and the P2 as a Daily Driver is the P2.
Hey Noel, loving the reviews. Couple of things. How would you rate the p2 Over the js monsta Box? Seems like the p2 has better low end range? How do they compare in turns?
Also love to see a review of the driver 2.0 and also the sub driver swallow. Both on my radar currently.
Ben Costantini P2 has a better range in general. I liked the MB in 3-5’ surf. The P2 has a better range in 1-3’ and 4-8’ plus. The P2 paddles better, more pivot and has better traction off the bottom.
Driver 2.0 review is coming... Sub Driver review will hopefully drop this Summer.
Thanks for the feedback. Have to go and check one out I think. Keep up the good work.
also be interested to see what your thoughts are board design for rear, front and neutral stance? What characteristics suit different styles.
You're killing me, Noel. You are costing me money and going to get me in trouble with my wife.Ha ha ha!!!! Just picked up my custom 5'7" P2 that came in at 25.8 liters and the 5'5" Rocket Wide in spinetek that came in at 25.8 liters as well. The P2 looks sick and passes the under the arm test. If it works as well as it looks, I'm stoked!!!! Thanks again for all of the great reviews!!!!
Richard Thiele Two epic sleds
I got rocket wide.. How did the p2 go for ya
@@MrB1019 It went insane!!!!!
@@richardthiele4206 did you make it shorter? I can't decide between the p2 xl and shadow xl..
@@MrB1019 there were no stock boards for me at the time. I ordered a custom 5'7" by 18 5/8 by 2 5/16" that came in at 25.8 liters. I'm a little smaller than Noel at 5' 9" and 150 lbs
Hey Noel, thanks for the reviews. It helps a lot when deciding on a model.
For beach breaks, OG Flyer Spinetek or Pyzalien 2 ? small/medium waves
Both boards are epic. The P2 might be a bit more versatile with fin set up options to shred small waves better. I prefer the P2.
@@surfnshowreviews7777 thank u so much!! 👊🤙
Hi Noel, after surfing both the Pyzel Phantom and the Pyzel Pyzalien 2, which surfboard did you prefer and which one would you pick if you had to choose one?
Tough one... I love carving on the Phantom but I love the versatility of the P2. I would choose the Phantom for 3-7’ surf.
@@surfnshowreviews7777 thanks. Your carving on the phantom review was epic! Looking forward to your flat earth review next 👌
Hey Noel, Love your reviews and channel. So much awesome insight. I wanted to get your advise on what you think would be the best BSR pool board. Currently I’m an intermediate surfer, after taking a long time off, catching and riding waves with no problem. Doing small turns and working the face of the wave. I opted to go super groveled starting back. Riding a torq fun board and a 5’5” average joe which are both super fun but looking for something more optimal to progress my surfing in the pool. I’m 5’6” 135 lbs and was looking at the p2, untitled, rw, og flyer, fever, or maybe the driver2.0 based on your review. Was thinking 24-26 liters for the pool? I would really appreciate your thoughts.
Jed Lloyd I suggest the P2 or UD XL for the pool. If I could only choose one the UDXL
@@surfnshowreviews7777 Thanks Noel! After watching the UD XL review that looks like the perfect fit. Before ordering I wanted to get your recommendation on sizing. Using a few different volume calculators I've gotten numbers from 22-26 given my size at 5'6'' 130-135 lbs. As I mentioned earlier I was thinking 24-26 however wanted to get your trusted advice. One last question. How do you think the Holy Grail would go at BSR?
Jed Lloyd My Liter range to skill level is below for your weight.
Pro-Expert = 22-23.5
Advanced = 24-26
Intermediate = 26.5-28
Jed Lloyd HG will go good
Is there a scifi 2.0 review on the way? I'm thinking of getting this pyzalien but putting custom 6.2 puffing up to 37 litres cause I'm 105kg. Do you think this would be too much for this board?
Tom David SciFi 2.0 review drops tomorrow!!! If you have questions in regards to a custom order on a P2 I suggest contacting the folks at Pyzel. A custom P2 for your size should translate well... just double check with the crew at Pyzel by email first.
Thank so much for awesome reviews. I’m about to grab one from my local shop but they only have 5’11 30.2l or 6’0xl 34l. I’m intermediate surfer 5’9 170lbs your advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Your liter range is 32-34.... the 6’0” is on the high side for your liter range.
Thank you!
@@justinanguiano8074 did you buy the xl? How did it go?
Thinking about getting the P2 XL in order to get the 5’10” to match my 5’10” height with my desired volume. Or would I be better off getting the normal P2 and just a little longer? Don’t live on the coast so it would be a travel board. Thanks for the great content! I’ve watched this particular video at least 3 times
For travel… maybe go 1” longer if this board is for better waves
Your surfing very well. What do you do to keep body all good and intact?
Outward Bound Eat healthy, surf 5 days a week, and train a little riding skateboards.
Thanks for the great show. What do rate is a better option for waves knee to head height. Js Bb3 or P2?
Cobus Snyman P2 for sure. The BB3 doesn’t have the speed
thanks for the review, and witch fcs2 fins would you use....
ronald roodhart Up to you... it will go good with a bunch of different templates
Great review as always. I really enjoy how you break down the board's details. What would you recommend as a daily driver/high-performance board for a solid intermediate surfing 2-6 ft waves? The Pyzalien 2 or the cymatic? I'm about to buy my first brand new board and am having a really hard time choosing the right one.
Diego Chavez P2 is a bit more user friendly with all the Performance you need.
@@surfnshowreviews7777 Thanks for the advice Noel! Have a good one \ m/
Awesome review as usual. Which do you like better the HS holy grail or the pyzelian 2?
zach adams P2 has a better wave range at 2-8’+
Hello Noel, thanks for your constant availability for questions and doubts. I have one myself, I live in Lisbon, I would say for the most part similar surfing conditions than in S. Cal. I am looking for a 1 board quiver, was considering the JS Monsta Box, the sharpeye inferno (if I find one over here), pyzel (either the pyzalien, the higline, or even the shadow), or the C.I. Fever, or OG Flyer. To be honest im not too sure about the CI's or the Pyzel's durability, cause they are built not in the USA but in spain and portugal (i guess not the best materials) Do you have any suggestion you can help me with? Thanks a lot! Take care
I suggest the Inferno 72 or The Medina model by Cabianca if the Pyzel and CI materials are not up to par there. In Pyzel I suggest the Pyzalien 2 and CI the OG Flyer.
@@surfnshowreviews7777 Thanks Noel, I've been learning a lot from your videos.! You seem like a great human being! All the best!
@@Machete2030 Cheers
Cheers Noel I grabbed my fav cup of tea and then promptly grabbed a pyzalien 2 🎉 churrr

Hey Noel thanks for the review~~~which would you prefer of 1-2ft beach break n work well in pocket (Pyzalien 2 vs astro pop vs No brainer)Thankz?
Ho Lik Lee Astro POP
@@surfnshowreviews7777 thank you for your opinion :)
thanks for the amazing review ! the fins you recommend needs to buy several fin sets and mish match them so it costs a lot of money, do you have simple fin recommandation for quads and for twin ?
Kris Chris FCSII favorite Quad Rears are Medium Reactors. Futures I like the Pyzel 5 fin set. I designed my own Quad Rears and Twin Fin sets too.... you can learn about them here.
