The Padillac has been ridden to more big wave contest victories than any other single surfboard design in history! John John Florence won the 2016 Eddie at maxing Waimea, Billy Kemper rode them to an unbelievable 4 Jaws wins (and a second place) AND got what is considered the greatest Jaws tube ride so far! Mark Healey gave it the name, and was instrumental in developing and testing the design which he was on when he won the 2014 Billabong XXL Biggest Paddle Award! In the past few years Nathan Florence, JJF, Makua and Koa Rothman, Eli Olson, Billy Kemper, Nic Von Rupp and a bunch of other crazy f@#$ers have put it to the test in the world's biggest waves and they all come back saying it's the best big wave board they have had.
Like the name implies, this board is built to paddle fast and easy, with extra thickness and a fuller outline than most standard guns so you can catch and ride bigger waves with confidence and ease. It has a clean, flowing rocker, and a light vee bottom with double concaves to give you speed and sensitivity while still maintaining control in heavy conditions. It comes as a quad, for both speed and maneuverability, and can handle anything the ocean throws at you.
Made in sizes between 6'10" and 10'6", it is a great board for deeper water waves like Sunset, Cloudbreak, Puerto Escondido, Ocean Beach, or anywhere else that gets BIG and HEAVY. It is also a great choice for bigger surfers looking for a controlled, easy feel in all types of waves.

Product Construction
Polyurethane/Polyester Resin (PU/PE)
A board built in PU/PE means that Pyzel uses a Polyurethane foam blank and they glass it with Polyester resin. This is how the majority of today’s surfboards are built. It is how Pyzel has been making boards for years, and these materials let them make a very stable, strong, consistent, and high-performance board that has the feel that most people are used to.
PU foam is closed celled, meaning it won’t easily soak in water if you ding your board, and that also means that it doesn’t absorb too much resin when getting glassed, keeping your board light. Many surfers prefer the feel of PU/PE boards because that is what they have ridden all their lives, and because they feel really good.
At Pyzel Surfboards, they use only the best foam blanks, highest quality fiberglass and resin, and hire the best craftsmen in the industry. The result is light, tight and bright high performance, reasonable priced boards that look beautiful and work great. Below are the glassing options they offer for PU boards.
