John John Florence's "Ghost" And The Art Of Big Wave Guns with Shaper Jon Pyzel

Рет қаралды 62,713

Күн бұрын

The North Shore craftsman chats about keeping up with John John, building guns and how a lack of competition changed his approach.
Jon Pyzel grew up surfing in Santa Barbara, California, but moved to Hawaii in the early 1990s. He learned his craft under the mentorship of legendary North Shore shaper Jeff Bushman. In 1998 he made his first surfboard for a 5-year-old grommet called John John Florence. That now 20-year plus partnership has been the cornerstone of Pyzel Surfboards' transformation into an international business. Jon also makes boards for Tyler Wright, Jack Freestone, Nathan and Ivan Florence, and Koa Rothman. The WSL caught up with Jon in January of 2021 from his shaping bay in the Old Waialua Sugar Mill on the North Shore of Oahu.

Listening to Pyzel talk about John John, essentially listening to a father talk about his son.

I was hoping Mr. Pyzel would talk about rail shape, rocker, concaves, thickness, noses, and tails, and how they perform.

Exactly. Wait til the sustainable development goals reach the spoiled surfers and shapers who are so concerned about the earth...so concerned that they throw away 100 boards EACH!! Hahaha

That blue ghost w/black rails. (6’2”x18 7/8”x2 1/2”)29.7L. I bought it at the Pyzel surfshop off the used rack and its mayjah.. the bigger the better but also works in 2ft+ as well. It paddles better than my 6’6” step up. Could be cuz its pu and my step up is epoxy but it worked at jockos, lanis, pupu,gas chmbrs, Kwalos, logs, and vland. Its fast in the pocket and holds no matter what. Gonna get a red tiger now for a little more release!
