Built from the Ghost DNA, the Gremlin XL takes its place as the step-down relative of the Phantom, delivering generous volume within a shorter, wider outline and a flatter rocker profile. This configuration is engineered for fast acceleration, effortless speed retention, and strong paddle power. This higher volume version of the Gremlin is built for stockier surfer or for those who prefer shorter boards for the same volume.
Designed to maximize enjoyment in average surf conditions, the Gremlin combines accessibility with the unmistakable spirit of FunFormance, offering responsiveness and versatility across a wide range of wave types.
Its fuller outline pairs with a low entry rocker to generate effortless speed, smooth glide, and reliable flow through softer, weaker sections. Additional curve in the tail rocker maintains a performance-driven character while enhancing maneuverability and control.
The bottom contour features a single to double concave setup, finishing with a refined Vee through the tail. This configuration provides paddle power, rapid acceleration, and impressive speed, while preserving the lively, drive-oriented, high-performance feel that helps surfers maximize every wave.
Advanced surfers often prefer riding the Gremlin approximately 4 to 6 inches shorter than their height, unlocking its more performance-focused potential. Intermediate surfers generally find optimal balance choosing dimensions closer to their own height.
The Gremlin also works exceptionally well as a progression board for surfers transitioning from a longboard or similar shapes toward a more compact, performance-inspired FUNformance design.
