Why the 6’0 Florence x Pyzel is Built for Real Sessions
There’s always that one board, the one that just works.
For Nick, this is it.
The 6’0 Florence x Pyzel is the first board in the Florence Collection. Shaped by Jon Pyzel. Refined by John and Nathan Florence. Built by Lift. It’s not just a prone board, it’s a do-everything foil shape that paddles early, stays balanced, and holds speed when you need it most.
“It mixes surfing and just being way out in the ocean—endurance, flow, everything in one. And the moments you get are just crazy.”
— Nathan Florence
With 60 liters of volume and Pyzel’s surf-forward rail and rocker feel, this board connects prone starts, chip-ins, and light wind wings. It’s stable underfoot, fast through transitions, and releases clean when it’s time to fly.
“You can get up earlier, paddle further, and once you're up—you’re just gone. It’s the board I keep going back to.”
— Nick Leason
Originally designed for paddle starts in big water, it quickly became the crew’s go-to for connecting more sessions. More wind days. More waves. More motion.
"The reason we created this board was to make every session easier—whether you're popping up on a barely breaking wave or chipping into the side of a bigger one to start a downwind run. The paddle power opens up a lot of opportunity"
— John Florence
Nick’s Preferred Setups on the 6'0 Florence x Pyzel:
- Florence 110 X + 20 Carve – Fast, high-performance, and intuitive
- 150 HA X + 26 Carve – For softer surf and glide-heavy days
This isn’t a board that came from a CAD file. It came from sessions. From wipeouts, breakthroughs, and long paddle backs. From feedback loops between Pyzel, Lift, and the Florence brothers—shaping, testing, refining, and repeating.
It’s a limited release. No guarantee it comes back in this form.
But for the riders who’ve tested it, it’s become the one they reach for again and again.
