The Pyzel Puerto Padi came about when both Nathan Florence and Billy Kemper asked Pyzel to re-design their favorite Padillacs to better suit the late drops and tricky barrels of Puerto Escondido.
The Padillac has proven to be one of the best big wave designs of the past decade, but they wanted something that would let them take off later and deeper, and be able to knife under the lip even easier, so Pyzel made some small yet significant changes. The Pyzel team riders have been testing the Puerto Padi for several years already, and their positive feedback made Pyzel decide that it would be a nice addition to the Pyzel gun family for everyone to be able to access.
