Shape:
Der Pyzel White Tiger ist der Groveler aus der neuen Tiger Serie von John John Florence und Jon Pyzel. Das Board ist in der Nose recht breit und kommt mit Beak daher. Dadurch schafft Pyzel es viel Foam bis ganz nach vorne zu verteilen, was Paddelpower garantiert. Der Widepoint ist etwas vorm Center, was ebenfalls für gutes Wave-Catchen sorgt. Im Tail ist der White Tiger mit einem breiten Squash Tail ausgestattet, welches viel Auftrieb und Speed auch in soften Bedingungen verspricht. Insgesamt ist die Outline clean und ohne signifikante Hips oder Bumps.
Das Deck ist ziemlich flach und auf den ersten Blick wirken die Rails fast klobig. Bei näherer Betrachtung zeigt sich dann aber eine Besonderheit des Boards - Jon lässt die Rails erst sehr spät dünner werden, so dass der White Tiger viel Volumen zu den Seiten hin “versteckt”. So schafft es der White Tiger im Vergleich zu manch anderem Groveler bei gleichem Volumen etwas schmaler zu bleiben.
Ein weiteres Alleinstellungsmerkmal ist das sehr ausgeprägte Double Concave im Unterwasserschiff, was ungeachtet der Breite des Boards besonders smoothe Rail-to-Rail Wechsel ermöglicht.
Insgesamt hat uns das Board zunächst an das bekannte und beliebte Pyzel Gremlin erinnert - der flachere Rocker und das Unterwasserschiff sorgen aber für ein ganz anderes Gefühl auf der Welle und vor allem bessere Small-Wave-Performance.

Surfer:innen und Bedingungen:
Der White Tiger eignet sich für alle Könnensstufen vom Intermediate bis hin zum Profi, je nach Sizing. Erfahrene Surfer:innen orientieren sich an ihrem Shortboard und surfen das Board ca. 4-6’’ kürzer und mit bis zu 10% Volumen mehr. In knie- bis etwas überkopfhohen, softeren Wellen ist so Spaß garantiert, wobei die Performance nicht zu kurz kommt.
Für weniger versierte Surfer:innen stellt der White Tiger (in Länge und Volumen leicht überproportioniert) ein gutes erstes Shortboard dar.
Wir bevorzugen das White Tiger als Quad oder Twin Fin mit Trailer Finne, um das Maximum an Speed heraus zu kitzeln. In steileren / besseren Wellen macht aber auch das Thruster Set Up für vertikalere Turns Sinn.

Alternativen:
Wer noch etwas mehr Rail Line und Shortboard-Feeling im Board bei vergleichbarem Einsatzbereich sucht, ist mit dem Lost Puddle Jumper Pro gut beraten. Skatiger und looser im Tail geht es hingegen beim Channel Islands Bobby Quad zu. Twin Fin Fans können wir das Lost RNF 96 und das Cabianca Evil Twin empfehlen.
Wer eher Richtung Daily Driver tendiert, ist bei dem Pyzel Phantom besser aufgehoben.

Bauweise:
PU/Polyester ist die traditionelle Surfboard Bauweise, auf die seit Jahrzehnten Pros und Amateur Surfer vertrauen. Ein PU Kern mit eingeklebten Holzstringer wird mit Glasfasermatten und Polyesterharz geglast. Das Resultat ist ein leichtes Surfboard mit sehr guten Flex Eigenschaften. Je nachdem wie viele Lagen Fiberglas verwendet werden, variieren Gewicht und Stabilität des Wellenreiters. Je weniger Lagen, desto leichter das Board und dynamischer die Flex Eigenschaft, aber desto empfindlicher ist das Surfboard auch für Macken und Reparaturstellen. Umgekehrt sind dicker geglaste Surfboards solider, aber dafür auch schwerer und steifer. Unsere Pyzel Shortboards kommen in der Regel mit 2x4oz oben und 1x4oz Glasfasermatten im unten, was dem Shortboard Standard entspricht und ein guter Kompromiss zwischen Haltbarkeit und Performance ist.
Bei Custom Bestellungen können alle Variablen individuell verändert werden:

Maße und Volumen Finnensystem und -set up (Futures/FCS II und Anzahl der Fin Plugs) Stärke (4oz oder 6oz), Anzahl (eine oder zwei) und Art (E-Glas oder S-Glas) der Glasfasermatten Carbonstreifen im Tail oder Unterwasserschiff Farbe und Design (Spray oder Resin Tint) Signatur

Well put together.
Format: Kindle
Very much worth purchasing to read for a few hours. Highly recommended. Not a lot of historic graphic novels in Kindle format, and wish there were more.

Lots of complaints, but I still enjoyed it.
Format: Paperback
This is my very first graphic novel of any sort, so this is my intro to the medium. The quality of the book is nice and each page is in full color. Other reviewers have said that the artwork is hastily done, I am not experienced enough with graphic novels to know, but I enjoyed the pictures nonetheless. The "story" follows a British soldier and his journey from 1914 to the end of the war. It is a Forrest Gump adventure in which the character was either there, or he was almost there, or he mentions a significant event and how it affected him. As a result, the book does not flow at all. One page you are in France, then the Middle East, then Russia. And the scenes on each page lack a lot of dialoug and are disjointed in the action sequences. Also, some of the images are duplicated (sometimes even on the same page), and I found more than a few typos (missing commas and "here" instead of "hear"). Like I said, I haven't read any other graphic novels, but this looks like low quality work because I can tell the "BLAM"s and "BANG"s, and the speech bubbles are added via computer. They stand out from the page and takes away from the immersion. I don't know if all comics do this, but I hope not. I would have expected more information about the war since the "story" was so poor, but it was just a gereral overview. I think the best part was the beginning with the assassination of Ferdinand. I had high hopes after that but the rest was kinda meh. I read it twice. So even with all my issues, it wasn't that bad. I'm planning on buying the WW2 ones as well.

An insightful concise book by Vansant
Format: Paperback
In this NORMANDY 102-page full-color trade, in 15 chapters of 6 to 10 pages each, Vansant covers various chronological aspects of the Normandy invasion, from U.S. entry into the war in Europe, up through planning and execution of "Operation Overlord", the final Normandy seige with gliders, paratroopers, air combat and the beach invasions, the liberation of Paris from the Nazis, up through August 1944. Vansant's NORMANDY is remarkably informative for such a concise volume. And its attention to detail in accurately illustrating uniforms, tanks and planes is greatly appreciated. My one complaint is the 6" by 9" size of the book. I would have preferred a standard 7" X 10" size trade, that is the standard for comic book trade collections. It is a sturdy book with a tight binding, and a slightly larger size would make the book to be less difficult to pry open, and the art easier to appreciate in a larger size. I also wish Vansant had included more panels of maps, detailing the movements of troops at points througout the vast scope of what is described in NORMANDY. Vansant's work is worth seeking out, in its accurate portrayal of various battles throughout history, from the Nazi battles, to the Civil War, to the Pacific War. And as far as I know, Vansant got his start illustrating the Vietnam war in Marvel's THE 'NAM for several years, back in the mid/late 1980's. And two other World War II stories in SAVAGE TALES (1987) issues 7("Tiger Tiger", about a Panzer tank fighting in Russia) and 8 ("Chindits", about British jungle fighters in Burma in 1944). Vansant's newer work is slightly rougher than his 80's/90's work, but still very precise and detailed. I'd compare his work to that of Sam Glanzman, Gray Morrow, John Severin and Michael Golden. And it's great to see a comics illustrator drawing war stories that makes an effort to tell a story with more than just a riproaring action story, but one where you walk away with factual information about actual combat. Chapter 14 ,"The Killing Ground", hit me especially hard in portraying the bloodbath horrors of war. I wouldn't want to be one of the Nazis in that bombarded field of 10,000 bodies. I previously purchased BATTLE GROUP PEIPER by Vansant(1991) , which despite being in black-and-white and a shorter 32-page historical comic book, was in some ways more interesting to me than NORMANDY, because it followed one Waffen SS commander (Peiper) through the weeks of Battle of the Bulge. (Peiper is breifly mentioned in the NORMANDY book, although "Battle of the Bulge" events in BATTLE GROUP PEIPER occur after the events depicted in NORMANDY.) The only other weakness (unlike the 1991 separate 32-page BATTLE GROUP PEIPER story I mentioned above) is that in the scope of the 102-page NORMANDY book it focuses on an overview narrative, rather than spending any length of time on any one soldier or commander, and is therefore less personal than BATTLE GROUP PEIPER is. And is more of an overview synopsis. But still loaded with compelling and informative history.
