THE GHOST XL

$1,099.00

The Ghost XL is a wider, thicker version of the Ghost design that JJF rode to his (second) 2017 World Title. The Ghost XL is optimized for paddle power for surfers that need a bit more foam.

The Ghost is possibly the first truly high performance board that works great for all levels of surfer and could be considered a one-board quiver for any surf trip with decent to good waves.
A super versatile board, The Ghost has become one of JJF's favorites for all kinds of surf. Originally designed for performance in hollower, more powerful types of waves, the Ghost has also proven to be great for reef breaks, dumpy beachies, and also excels in point waves.

Originally based off of the Pyzel Short Cut, The Ghost outline is more refined: it still has the wide point pushed a bit forward of centre, but the nose area is kept down and the tail slightly pulled in to help it fit into a tighter curve. The thickness is also pushed forward, which helps even more with getting into waves easily, the tail and rails have been thinned out to help hold through barrels and turns at speed. The rocker is med/low through the front half to get into waves easily and pick up speed quickly. The rear end has plenty of rocker curve for turning control and a snappy responsiveness. Single concave runs through the entire bottom, with a double concave set inside, which equals speed and lift both on a rail and over flat spots while allowing for quick rail-to-rail transitions.

The Ghost's combination of rocker and concave makes for high performance handling through a healthy mix of sensitivity and control. Depending on what waves you want to ride it in we recommend you order your Ghosts anywhere from your height to 8" over, a 1/4" to 1/2" wider, and 1/8" to 3/8" thicker than your everyday shorty. Stock boards all have 5-fin set up.
