Surfboard by Pyzel Surfboards• 3 Fin Set-up• Part of the Pyzel gun family• To help the board to fit into stepper drops and thread-deep barrels Pyzel narrowed the nose width by ½ an inch, added extra nose rocker and also thinned out the nose by close to ¼ inch. • These changes help to free up the whole front end of the board in more critical situations and add sensitivity while still packing a lot of paddle power into a board for its size. • A pulled-in baby swallow tail which increases reaction time off the bottom enough to allow for fast adjustments under the lip. "The Puerto Padi came about when both Nathan Florence and Billy Kemper asked me to re-design their favourite Padillacs to better suit the late drops and tricky barrels of Puerto Escondido. The Padillac has proven to be one of the best big wave designs of the past decade, but they wanted something that would let them take off later and deeper, and be able to knife under the lip even easier, so I made some small yet significant changes. These changes have worked out well enough that Nathan has ridden his Puerto Padis on 2 waves that are considered to be at the top of the list of the very best tube/foamball rides in surfing history- both in Ireland– his 7’5’’ on the crazy left at Mullaghmore and his psycho backdoor of the right at Aileens. The team also loves them in long, hollow reef breaks like Cloudbreak."
