The Pyzel Tiger Twin (2+1) is the newest member of the Tiger Series, combining the best features of two fan-favorites—the Happy Twin and the White Tiger—into a fast, responsive, and user-friendly board designed for smaller, weaker surf. Ideal for surfers seeking easy speed and playful looseness without fully committing to a traditional twin fin setup, the Tiger Twin offers a balanced blend of performance and accessibility.
This model features a lower rocker profile, a wider beak nose for added paddle power, and a distinctive single wing swallow tail that enhances maneuverability and drive. The bottom contour incorporates a double concave across most of the board, transitioning into a flat panel vee off the tail. This design enables effortless rail-to-rail rolling despite the board’s width, maintaining smooth transitions and flow.
The rails are full but forgiving, complementing the overall rocker to deliver easy paddling and quick acceleration on marginal days. Like the White Tiger, the Tiger Twin encourages surfers to get out and enjoy less-than-perfect conditions, while still being versatile enough to handle a variety of waves when conditions improve.
Pros:
Easy speed and acceleration: Low rocker and double concave bottom create fast paddling and smooth down-the-line rides.
User-friendly twin + trailer setup: Offers looseness and speed without the commitment of a full twin fin.
Versatile performance: Handles weaker surf confidently while still agile enough for better conditions.
Smooth rail transitions: Flat panel vee tail aids in easy, fluid rail-to-rail rolling.
Paddle power: Wider beak nose and forgiving rails enhance stability and paddle efficiency.
Cons:
Less drive in critical waves: Not designed for heavy, hollow surf or high-performance vertical maneuvers.
May feel wide or loose to traditional shortboard riders: Surfers used to tighter rails might take time to adapt.
Summary:
The Tiger Twin (2+1) is a standout choice for surfers wanting a fun, fast, and approachable small-wave board that delivers effortless speed and fluid maneuverability. Combining elements of the Happy Twin and White Tiger, it’s perfect for marginal days and a wide range of conditions, offering smooth down-the-line rides with enough looseness to keep things playful. A great step for anyone curious about twin fin performance but seeking added stability and ease of use.
