5'6" Tiger Twin

Description

5'6" 20" 2.56" 31" The Tiger Twin FCS2 Introducing the Tiger Twin (2+1), the newest addition to the Pyzel Tiger Series. Originally designed for easy speed in weaker waves, the Tiger Twin is a special blend of two of our most loved smaller wave designs, the Happy Twin and the White Tiger. Both of these models have been favorites of our customers and team for years. The Tiger Twin is fast, responsive and user friendly, but also easy to paddle and good in weaker surf. It features a lower rocker, a wider beak nose and a single wing swallow tail. As with many of our best performing designs it has double concave through the majority of the bottom, running into a flat panel Vee off the tail which gives it the ability to roll over from rail to rail very easily despite its width. The rails are full but forgiving and the overall rocker allows for easy paddling and acceleration in smaller, weaker waves. Like the White Tiger it will give you a good reason to get out in the water on those marginal days of surf, but still being able handle a variety of waves on their better days. Designed as a twin + trailer, the Tiger Twin will suit those not quite yet ready to commit to a full-on twin, but excited to feel that speed and looseness. The Tiger Twin is something that everyone has been loving. Quick to accelerate, smooth riding, speedy down the line yet, still agile in the pocket. Silky smooth, even in junk waves, and possibly our fastest board yet, The Red Tiger is John John Florence's new High Performance Shortboard unlike anything we have released in the past. It is the ultimate performance machine for small/medium sized, slower, weaker waves based on John's simple guidance - make it Fast and Fun. The idea for this board was hatched when John began riding some different - fun boards -during some breaks from competing. By far his favorite in the last year has been our new flat rockered, Funformance board, the White Tiger (5'6"), and he asked me to turn that design into something he could take back on tour to ride when the surf was less than pumping or on the weaker side. The outline is a touch on the plump side for a HPSB, but the wide point sits a more traditional inch behind center, keeping the emphasis to surfing it off the mid to back half of the board. The wider tail-block squash helps to keep area in the tail which provides lift and drive, and also helps create pop when going to the air. A moderate hip by the front fins puts a break in the outline to help create a pivot point that allows for tighter radius turns and release in the lip. The rocker and bottom contour is really what sets this board from other boards in this category. Its our flattest HPSB so far and that rocker translates to easy, consistent speed from the moment you stand up, through flat sections and even in super weak, small waves. But, flat rocker can feel sticky and tends to make you surf flat, so we run single to double concave (JJF's favorite bottom contour) through the front 2/3 of the board and then blend that into a significant double concave/deep vee combo through the fins and off the tail. This bottom keeps the flatter board easy to roll rail-to-rail and the vee of the tail works to allow easy vertical surfing and short-arc carves, even in tight, pockety waves. The thickness flow (foil) from nose to tail is balanced and clean, with the front of the board just barely thinner than the back half. The deck is flat-ish, keeping more foam (volume) out towards the rails. The actual rails are full just in from the outline (under the ball of your hand if you are holding the board under your arm), but are tapered to keep sensitivity and bite. Ride your Red Tiger around an inch shorter than normal HPSB, and a bit wider. Volume should be close, but go up a ½ to1 liter for added zing in weaker waves. The board will easily turn your everyday sessions into something special and we believe it will outperform any other HPSB in underpar waves AND still come through when the surf turns on!
