After extensive team "testing" by Jai Glindeman, also known as having a great time surfing the crap outta them, Pyzel is happy to announce the release of their 3rd addition to the Velocity Project series, the Precious!
The step-railed, concave-decked Precious came about when a friend asked for a one board quiver that he could take around the world and have a good surf on. "One board to rule them all" was the call and thus the name Precious came about (Lord of the Rings nerds will get this, everyone else, just don't worry about it).
Ride it as a tri-fin, quad, or even 2+1 and have a blast!

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.
Additional Info
Based off of the Gremlin, since that board is so fast, versatile and fun, but they wanted it to be sleeker, more towards a performance feel with less width and less chunky rails.
In order to do that, and still keep a fair bit of volume in the board, Pyzel decided to make it a step-deck. This allowed them to keep some foam in the overall board, but let it have a sensitive, high performance rail at the same time. When creating the step-deck it also makes the deck concave, which adds stability and more sensitivity to the design, and it seems to give you a little extra boost of paddle power as a side benefit.
Using the Gremlin DNA, it's a step down with flatter entry rocker, and subtle curve through the tail making for easy acceleration, speed and quick, responsive turning.
The outline is narrower and more pulled in than the Gremlin, but it still carries speed through slower, weaker sections, allowing improved flow and effortless glide.
The single/double concave bottom gives lift and drive without ever feeling sticky in rail-to-rail transitions, and the ample V running of the wide tailblock let it tip onto it's rail with ease, even at higher speeds.
Precious is an easy paddler that gets up and goes fast, and still has a snappy, drivey, high-performance feel to get you the most out of every kind of wave.
Ride your Precious anywhere a few inches above or below your height based on your surfing ability, add a ½" to 1" of width and order based off the volume, not the thickness because the concave deck makes the boards sound thin but they have more volume.
