Board Talk with John John - The Red Tiger that won the 2024 World Title

Listen in as Jon Pyzel and John John talk through the origin story of his 2024 World Title winning Red Tiger (6'0'' x 19.13 x 2.51 x 30.70 liters). The interesting and compelling part of this conversation is the fact that Jon did not shape the board, or even touch it, until the day before the finals event at Lowers.
Our highly skilled crew at our Oceanside factory built the board from start to finish on ultra-short notice just the month before, and John John only rode it 3 times before he took it out, rode 5 waves in 2 heats, defeated a raging Italo Ferriera and won his 3rd World Title on it.
