Pyzel "Mini Ghost" Surfboard Review Ep 125

Hi Noel, love your vids. Can you compare Mini Ghost and Lost Rad Ripper?

Mini ghost, Astro pop, gremlin or Pyzalien 2?
Which one is going to make me feel like I am shredding when I’m just lower intermediate- racing down waves hitting snaps and working towards getting vertical but still at about 2-o’clock

Mini ghost vs rnf96, what’s your pick for smallish beach breaks that can also handle a little punch? Thanks mate

Ive got this board as my daily driver. Been surfing with it for a couple months. From my experience it is an extremely fun board when the waves are glassy and more hollow (at least 3 ft) If you buy one MG, even in the squash tail set, for surfing on messy average, fat waves, it is not going to go well, the board feels stuck and got no drive in these conditions, this board is not a groveller, it asks good waves. Put that on your mind when ordering it.

Now that Ive got my board for good pumping waves, been looking for a real groveller now 😂

Hi Noel
Mini ghost squash vs Chilli BV2?

hi Noel, compliments for your video,to be coupled to a p2, better a mg or phanton for sloppy and weak waves? or gremlin? thanks

I have the pyzelien 2 5’8 for a year now and i feel like its a bit too much volume for me. Im 5’6 150-155lbs, for hallow reef breaks 2-6ft, which pyzel board would you recommend? Mini ghost or shadow? Or just getting the puzelien 2 but at like 25l?

Hey.
I am looking a new board for close my quiver but I am undecided which board is better for put in the middle of my Mashup and Inferno72. I want a PU board and I am undecided between the MG, Wildcat and Storms Twin Turbo?
Can you help me in my choose?
Many thanks!!!

Good afternoon Noel
I am in doubt of mini ghost or dominator 2, what differences there are between both tables.a greeting

Hi Noel, amazing video!!! How’s it compared to the Pyzelian2?

Noel. Killer review, as per usual. QQ: how would you compare the Mini Ghost with the Phantom XL? (I live in San Diego, am 6’0” 205lbs, and am looking for a user friendly HP shortboard for 3-6’+ surf. Thanks!!

Love your channel, keeping us excited about new boards! How does the Mini Ghost squash compare to the Lost Rad Ripper? I'm looking for more mellow feel than a HPSB, but still want a bit of performance (I'm an intermediate, mostly surf beach breaks like Blacks in San Diego). Thanks man - best wishes for your full recovery!

Would you say it would be ok in flat waves and slow waves also, would it work in like Florida I mean.

Hi Noel,
Between MG Squash Tail and MG Round Tail, which of these boards would you choose for 2-7 feet beach break?

I've watched this review countless times over the last few months, today I finally picked one up. I cant wait to get it in the water!

Just curious, after reviewing 100+ boards what’s your daily driver when you’re not reviewing boards?

Got an astro pop 5.7 eps for small days and loving it… now chosing betwen a shadow 5.10 squash tail or 5.9 mini ghost round … What would be your coice ?

Hey Noel! Great review. What's the difference between MG squash and CI happy evereday? Looks like the same board. Tks

I call the MG Round Tail the barrel hunter. It’s fast and loves a steep clean face no matter the size of the wave. If the wave is throwing a lip, most likely you can get covered. However, the board hates a flat section or fat waves. It’s an extremely fun board in the right conditions. This is my experience at least, I hope it helps someone considering buying this board.

If mini ghost is for smaller waves why makes the rail chunkier ？ It’s supposed to be medium low rail I think

JC this board is loose hope I get used to it

Arakawa Half Pint looks similar to this with more hip. Would love to hear your thoughts on that board!

hey noel, do you think the mini ghost squash tail would be a good board for airs in comparison to the NB2?

Hey Noel, I have the IF72 (5’11 28L) and it goes well in 2-5 feet nicely and the untitled from your review way back! and it gos well in 1-4 feet, and the fever (5’11, 27.6L) however when I ride more critical waves (barreling) 2-6feet I’m getting in late, is the mini ghost, or shadow a good option, I’m also looking to go up in a litre as well.

So ended up getting a 5'10 squash 31.7L as I wanted it more as a small wave performance board, and got it in Epoxy (I'm 192cm, 84kgs). Ran it as a Thruster first with large mayhem fins and weirdly the board felt TERRIBLE, it pivoted well, but just had absolutely no drive which I couldn't believe given its shape and in EPS. I then went back out with my trusty large AM fins and although slightly more drive, it honestly still felt dreadful (surf was about 3ft). I could hardly get any drive to even lay a turn. So I made my way home and threw in a quad set up and FINALLY the board came alive. Might eventually try a twin + stabiliser. But for me it just has to be surfed as a quad. I've been riding a driver 2.0 for 3 years, so not sure if it's just a transition to a shorter fatter board, but I felt like I needed 6ft plus for it to get speed as a Thruster! Was super fun with the quad though!

Do you think the round tail mini ghost in electralite tech would drop it into a 2-6ft wave range? After a daily driver, and love round tails and at 192cm 85 kg. I just destroy any lighter PU glassing boards within 3 months. Could even run it as a 2+1 to grovel in the EPS?

Hey! M or L fins ?

Hi Noel, whats the best board to surf at the poll ??

Ok.i just finished look this review.what the difference between mg to umdrxl? Please

How does this compare to the rocketwide?

Great review. Thank you for the awesome content. Between the mini ghost and the sub driver 2.0, which do you think is a better all rounder? I live in South Florida and surf central florida all the time. I also travel to Nica and Brazil about once a year for some better waves. Any major things about the two I should know about? I'm 6'1 173lbs and usually surf with boards around 30L. The mini ghost stock dims would put me at a board that is 5'9 (30.5L) vs the sub driver 2.0 5'11 with 29.25L. Any advice? Thank you so much!

Hey noel ,
I have a phantom and i love it on good medium size clean waves , but i need a board for smaller punchy beach and reef breaks on low tide , i was thinking for the mini ghost but apparently where i am i can only find the round tail , what do u think of the round tail as quad for the waves i want it ? Also , u think the overlap would be too much ?
Thanks my man 🙏🙏

Hey Noel. Sick review. I am trying to decide between the mini ghost or the Inferno 72. Both look super fun, but the Inferno keeps sticking out. My hang up is that I surf in really cold water so need some extra volume, therefore usually between 31 and 32 liters. That pushes me into a 6'0 Inferno or a 5'10 mini ghost. I'm 5'11 and don't love surfing boards longer than me. Should that push me into the MG or get that hangup out of my head? Plan on using from thigh high to slightly head.

Hey Noel thank you for the amazing content here. I hope you’ll get to review the highline which is my favorite board by far. Snappy, fast, nice curves. Somehow nobody talks about it. Really look forward to hearing your opinion. 🤙🏼

Hey Noel, great review. I'm getting a new Pyzel for summer in San Diego for zippy chest high beach break, usually get up and go as fast as possible and get off one or two turns before close out section. Looks like the choices are Mini Ghost Squash, Gremlin and Astro Pop. I'm at 27-28 liters so 5'5 or 5'6" in one of these three boards. Which would you chose and what fin set up, thruster or quad and type of fin. Thanks for all the reviews - love them.

I thinking to take either a 6‘2 mini ghost or phantom XL on a year surftrip. Both have around the same liters. What would you recommend more? I thought about a round mini ghost so I can progress an play around with different fin setups if i want to loose it up or give mor speed. Squash seems to be the better daily driver but not sure if it holds up if I end up on good reef breaks with decent sizes.
Or would you have another board in mind that you would take on a surftrip and you dont know where it will take you

Love your board reviews! I am looking for a board for 2-4' waves, would you go with a Chilli BV2 or a Mini Ghost squash? Both boards seem awesome and they were both favorites of yours, but if you had to pick one?

Great surfing on this board, looks so fun and inspiring!! And thank you so much for all the great content.

I‘m thinking to either buy a Phantom or MG Round Tail (both around 30 liters). I’m surfing the Astro Pop and I love this board in smaller waves. Now I’m looking for a board when the waves are a bit bigger or punchier. My level is intermediate to advanced. I’m riding the Monsta Box 2020 for those occasions but I feel it really needs a punchy wave and it’s not so easy to surf.

Would you rather suggest the Phantom or the MG Round Tail in this case?

Thank you so much and happy weekend!

Do the highline

Yewwwwwww

great video i was wondering if you’d suggest a phantom or a mini ghost for an intermediate surfing everyday conditions

Noel would you suggest the mini ghost, pyzalien 2, sub driver 2.0, or fever for 3-6ft San Diego surf? Which would be best for softer reefs and which for steeper beach breaks? Thank you!

I’ve got jjf techflex. These would suit a round tail MG the same as a regular ghost yes? Do you recommend Akila Aipa future twins for smaller days? Which title tail fin did you use too with the twins? Thank you.

Hi Noel, I've recently bought a neck beard 2 but I'm considering selling it, it doesn't suit me.. I'm more a front footer surfer and i have the felling that the NB2 is not forgiving when pushing front foot too much. Am I wrong? Which small wave performance board would you suggest? This mini ghost looks good but looking for alternatives.
Thanks!

Ripping Noel ! Board suits you , some solid turns !. Epic Review . Ordered a 5'6 from the Surfboard Empire ...hopefully arrives next week ...Yew

Aloha Noel, Is the volume written on a Pyzel board the volume before or after the fin boxes are put in? Mahalos

I am looking for a board to complete my 2 board quiver below a Driver 2.0.
MG or uber driver for 0-4ft ?
Any other suggestions?

What are those 2+1?

I have never seen performance keel fish reviews here, despite all shapers having them and the big market for em, did i miss something?
