The White Tiger

The White Tiger is a stubby, short-outline board in Pyzel's Funformance range, built for average to below-average, weak and flatter wave conditions. It has a full nose, wide squash tail, no hip, and a wide point 1.5 inches forward of center, with the tail slightly wider than the nose. Volume is concentrated forward via a beak-nose design to aid paddling, paired with a relatively flat deck and tapered rails. Rocker is medium-low through nose and tail for glide and speed on weak waves. The bottom uses a single/double concave through the front two-thirds transitioning to a vee/double concave through the fins and tail. Pyzel recommends riding it 2-5 inches shorter than a standard shortboard, with 0.5-1 inch more width and added volume. It is available in Thruster, Quad, and 5-fin setups. The model originated as a side-project board for John John Florence, was refined for his brother Ivan Florence, and has since become one of John Florence's boards for recreational surfing away from competition.
