GENERAL GOAL | THEME OF THE BOARD:
High performance simplified! The same goal as the original Ghost, just for slightly more powerful conditions.
WAVE TYPE | SIZE IT'S WORKING BEST:
Designed as a board for slightly more powerful surf, from waist high to double overhead.
MANEUVERS IT DOES BEST:
Snappy turns in the pocket, clan cutbacks, screaming down the line.
SKILL LEVEL IT'S BEST FOR:
Intermediate to Advanced.
PADDLE POWER:
SPEED: Very good for a board in this category.
DIRECTIONAL CONTROL: Medium to low yaw, depending on size.
OVER WHITE WATER: The Pixie “Flip” Nose helps the board climb up the whitewater, and its ample surface area assists it over.
WAVE CATCHING ABILITY: Very Good.
WHAT YOU THOUGHT OF WHEN YOU DESIGNED IT?:
As a lifelong surfer, I wanted to actually surf BETTER at 77 in even bigger waves. I wasn’t ready for the scrap heap just yet. I needed a very different board to accomplish that, and with all the time on the Ghost, it was clear that a few areas could be tweaked to improve this.
WHAT IT POSSIBLY COMPROMISES ON THEN?:
Not designed for very small low power waves, although it will still work great if you have small waves with a little bit of punch.
