Pyzel

Jon Pyzel grew up in Santa Barbara, California, started surfing in junior high and quickly found himself deep into it. After traveling for surf, Jon realized he wanted better waves, warmer water, making a permanent move to Oahu’s North Shore in 1992. A defining moment came a few years later, in 1998. Alex Florence approached Jon about making a board for her oldest son John John, who was 5 at the time. From there forward, Jon and John John worked together to redefine what was possible for Grom surfng. Fast forward almost 20 years and John John Florence is the 2016 World Champ, widely considered the best surfer alive, all while riding Pyzel surfboards. When we think about our company today, we consider JJF as one of the cornerstones to our success, not just for his amazing surfng ability, but also for his loyalty, his humble attitude, his gratitude, and his positive outlook on life. We didin’t start this all to become a giant company, putting out as many “units” as we could, we started it because we love surfing and everything that goes with that – travel to new lands, great friendships, adventure. But most of all we started this because we love surfboards! Today Pyzel Surfboards has grown to be an international business, but is still run by the family. Jon and his wife Dali live on the beach in Hawaii with their 2 daughters, and help run the Pyzel Surfboards factories on the North Shore and in Oceanside, CA. We take great pride in every board we build, and have do our very best to make sure that our customers are getting exactly the right board for what they want to do. We have licensees in 7 countries around the globe, and Jon shapes in Australia, Europe, Brazil, Japan, Indonesia, South America and California.
