The Pyzalien 2 XL is a fuller, higher-volume version of the Pyzalien 2. It is aimed at surfers seeking high performance while benefiting from extra volume for easier paddling and added stability. Its stock dimensions are designed to suit taller, heavier surfers, as well as intermediate surfers looking to progress onto a shorter board while maintaining forgiveness and comfort in the waves.
The Pyzalien 2 XL - A Versatile Choice for the One Board Quiver
The Pyzalien 2 xl reimagines a highly regarded design, refining the DNA of the original Pyzalien model while enhancing its versatility and performance.
Built around a distinctive wide point forward outline, the Pyzalien 2 xl features extra width through the nose and a volume distribution pushed toward the front. Intended to be ridden shorter and wider than a standard shortboard, it maintains enough volume to generate speed and flow in softer, weaker surf while delivering a responsive performance feel.
Adaptable across a broad range of conditions - from point breaks and reef breaks to beach breaks - the Pyzalien 2 xl combines accessibility with high-level performance. Its balanced rocker profile includes a medium-low entry rocker transitioning into a medium+ tail rocker, creating a smooth, controlled ride with excellent responsiveness.
The bottom contour starts with a single concave through the nose and beneath the front foot, flowing into a double concave and finishing with VEE through the final section of the tail. This configuration enhances release, promotes fluid turning, and supports quick rail-to-rail transitions while maintaining control at higher speeds. The rocker and bottom design work together to generate effortless acceleration directly from take-off.
Its outline remains streamlined and uncomplicated, free from hips or wings, pairing a fuller nose with a broader tail to maximize speed, drive, and smooth projection through flatter sections.
A key evolution from the original design lies in the more domed deck and refined rails. Recommended sizing is to keep your usual thickness while choosing dimensions approximately 1/4" to 1/2" wider and 2" to 3" shorter than your regular shortboard. The board comes standard with a clean swallow tail, adding extra liveliness, release, and sharper response.
