Severne Pyro

FAQ

Who is the Severne Pyro 2025 suitable for?

The Pyro is a pro wave board developed in collaboration with five-time world champion Philip Köster for advanced riders and competitive surfers. Thanks to the versatile fin setups (Twin, Thruster, Quad), it adapts to different conditions from choppy water to powerful surf.

Which size of the Severne Pyro is right for my body weight?

The Pyro is available in 11 volume sizes from 56 to 113 liters. Philip Köster (190 cm, 95 kg) rides the Pyro 87 in the windy summer Pozo season, the Pyro 93 in winter Pozo, and the Pyro 99 in light wind. The respective manufacturer's weight chart helps you choose between the main and small board.

Which sail size is right for the Severne Pyro?

The recommended sail range varies from 2.0 to 6.7 square meters depending on the board size. Smaller volumes (56-68 liters) are designed for sails from 2.0-4.7 m², while the larger volumes (99-113 liters) carry 5.0-6.7 m² – ideally matched to your weight and the prevailing wind conditions.

Which fin setup should I choose for the Pyro?

The Pyro features 5 slot boxes and supports three configurations: Twin for playful looseness and turning joy in the waves, Thruster for early planing and better height in contest conditions, Quad for maximum down-the-line grip in the waves. The HEX4 system makes switching quick and easy.

What distinguishes the Pyro from the Severne Nano?

The Nano is shorter, more maneuverable, and requires more skill; it is ridden exclusively as a quad and fits tightly into any wave bag. The Pyro glides earlier, is faster, more versatile, and offers all three fin setups – thus serving a significantly larger target group and more conditions.

How heavy is the Severne Pyro?

Thanks to clever coating and construction techniques, the Pyro is one of the lightest boards on the market. The Pyro 87 test board weighed 6.22 kg in the SURF measurement – a top reference in the wave board comparison. The weight specifications for all sizes vary slightly depending on the volume (tolerance +/- 5%).

Does the Pyro have a GORE-TEX vent, and do I need to remove it before traveling?

Yes, the Pyro is equipped with a Goretex vent that automatically regulates the internal pressure of the board. You must not touch or remove it – not even before flights or travel. This keeps the board dimensionally stable and durable.

Which board bag is recommended for the Severne Pyro?

For sizes 56 to 93, Severne recommends a board bag measuring 225x60 cm, and for sizes 99 to 113, 230x65 cm. Thin bags are included in the delivery of many models – ideal transport protection for air travel and everyday use.
