Parker Payne has been a part of the Phase 5 crew for quite some time. He’s always trying to push the boundaries of what’s possible on the water, whether it be on a skim or surf style board. He obviously kills it on both styles of board so that’s why he has a pro model in each category – the Phase 5 Phantom and Phase 5 Matrix Pro! But what gets him stoked about them? Well, you’d have to ask him! Check out a few of the reasons why below!

John Akerman is without a doubt one of the most talented riders on the water today. Whether he’s riding his Ahi, MVP, or foil, he’s constantly turning heads with his high-intensity riding. He recently made the move away from southern FL and into a spot a little closer to Orlando so we thought it would be a good idea to dig up some photos from his south Florida crib!

The season is slowly but surely coming to an end. Last week, we had the final event in the Pro Wakeboard Tour for the surfing division and it was a solid time for team Phase 5! In case you haven’t been paying attention, Phase 5 has been dominating the event circuit lately and it’s most apparent with the closing of the PWT season. Jett Lambert, known for his consistency and technical prowess, 3-peated the events this year with 3 back-to-back-to-back 1st place finishes that landed him in the top spot for the overall title! Congrats, Jett!

Collins Neal hails from the great state of Texas and is always out on the water with her sister, mom, and dad!

John Akerman is a dual threat when it comes to surfing. Put him on his skim style pro model board, THE MVP, and he can throw down some of the most stylish, technical tricks out there! Switch him up to his surf style pro model, THE AHI, and you’ll see some of the biggest airs, hardest slayshes, and more! All eyes are definitely on the water when John is riding. Well, John just picked up his new Paragon G23 so to celebrate, we caught up with him for an inaugural session.

Around this time last year, we released Jett Lambert’s pro model version of the super-popular skim style board, the Key. To commemorate such an occasion, we made some calls and got the approval to come ride and shoot at the legendary “Blue Lake” spot. This lake is such a rad spot to shoot because the water is beautiful and it’s a private spot so you don’t have to worry about any boat traffic messing with the calm water. What made this shoot even better was the inclusion of a helicopter to get some aerial angles. What a good day! Check out some shots from that shoot now!

Our FLEXtec V2 construction is made to keep our boards strong, durable, and most importantly, FUN on the water. We only use the highest quality materials to ensure that every board is the créme de la créme before they’re sent out to be enjoyed by riders like you! Starting in the shaping room, each board is sanded down and shaped to the right dimensions and design. From there, it goes through many more steps where it’s glassed, reinforced, and fine tuned into the awesome shape that you’re stoked to ride! We’d go into more detail but the mystery is part of the fun! Find out more about the boards that make up the FLEXtec V2 Collection below!

A few weeks back Matt Reed, pro shop manager of Race City Marine reached out to me about coming up to Mooresville, NC and doing a Phase 5 demo with them. After checking my schedule, there was one weekend not currently occupied with my son’s baseball schedule so I made sure it was a go.

First off, you’re probably wondering what FlightLite V2 means, right? Well, it’s our fancy term for our latest board construction technique. Since every board that Phase 5 produces is made by hand, that means we have the ability to implement these new techniques right on our factory floor so we know exactly how they work. We also get to see each board go from a chunk of rough foam to a finished masterpiece so we’re checking to make sure it lives up to our standards every step of the way.

Every year, we like to take some of our most popular shapes and give them a little extra. Whether that’s using some different materials to make the board lighter and stronger or a special graphic, we love a good LTD board! This year, we went with Drew Danielo’s pro models – the Hammerhead v3 and Diamond Turbo – as well as John Akerman’s skim – the MVP – and gave them the LTD trea
