The Ghost Squash is a version of Pyzel's best seller The Ghost that came about from JJF’s constant desire to experiment with new tweaks on his favorite boards. John’s feedback from his first few sessions on it were simple - the board felt really good, familiar like his favorites, but the squash tail felt fresh, fast, a bit more snappy and still held the rail through all of his turns. He immediately suggested that we should make that version available for everyone to try and we loved the idea, so here it is. We are building the boards directly off of John’s most recent file which has some small thickness adjustments made over the past winter season, but the most significant difference is in the tail. We pushed out the round tail into a semi pulled-in squash which straightens out the last 12 inches in the outline and adds extra lift and creates more of a pivot point than you get out of the classic version. This small change adds a bit more versatility to the Ghost in the lower wave ranges that you might want to ride it in, while still keeping that classic feeling of Ghost magic in good/bigger waves. GHOST SQUASH HIGHLIGHTS: Built directly off of JJF's most recent (2026) Ghost file. Many of the same overall Ghost characteristics that you know and love. Pulled-in Squash tail adds lift in tail area for increased lower end performance without losing hold through turns. Squash tail improves the pivot point for a sharper turning radius. Show more
