The team descended into Dubai this past weekend for the 2025 Wakesurf Championships – Dubai Creek Edition! Dubai definitely does this event the right way! The contest site was insane, with incredible views and towering skyscrapers all around. One thing Dubai is known for is its unreal architecture and seeing the buildings for the first time is a crazy experience!
John Akerman is always on the go. Get a quick catch up with him as he answers some random questions now!
Who doesn’t love a good throwback video?! This week, we scoured the internet to find this gem of a clip – Sean Silveira’s winning run from the 2021 PWT Stop in Katy, TX. Sean might not be the guy to beat at contests as much as he used to, seemingly passing that torch to his protege Jett Lambert, but for a time, Sean was crushing every contest he entered! Take a trip down memory lane and check out the video now!
Jett Lambert had himself another year in 2025. Winning almost every contest he entered, traveling the globe, pumping out solid content all season, and enjoying every bit of it along the way, Jett is living the life. We caught up with him to see what he thought of his 2025 and which moments really stood out!
The 2025 season is officially a wrap! With the last stop of the 2025 Centurion WSWS taking place this last weekend as the World Wakesurfing Championship in Florida, we saw plenty of Phase 5 riders being crowned World Champions! Check out the podium photos below along with Whitley Stewart and Jett Lambert’s winning runs.

The 2025 season is winding down and just like year’s past, Whitley Stewarts season was a whirl wind! Filled with traveling, competitions, victories, new tricks, and even getting engaged, Whitley has stayed busy all year long. We caught up with her to see what some of her highlights of the year were!
The Neal family from Texas has become a staple shred fam over here at Phase 5 over the last couple of years. Mark and Bree Neal, along with their daughters Collins and Heidi, are fully in on the lake life and are all about sharing it with others and getting as many people as they can on Phase 5 boards. And with Collins and Heidi taking to surfing like fish in water – eventually at least – the Neals traded in their old run around boat and went all in on surfing! We caught up with Bree to chat a little bit about how they got their start, how they keep it fun, and how they manage to keep Collins and Heidi under control!
Team rider Allison Hansen’s podcast, “Sorry for the Wake”, sits down with riders in their natural habitat – on the water! For the latest episode, she connects with fellow team rider Robert McClelland for some shreds and good conversation. Check it out now!
Check out this awesome review of the Key “Jett Shreds” model by Board Co! This super-progressive shape is made to push the boundaries of what’s possible on the water.
Who doesn’t love a good throwback clip? We sure do! This week, we were feeling nostalgic and decided to do a little “Flashback Friday” of one of our OG riders, Mr. Key himself - Sean Silveira! Only a few short years ago, Sean was topping the podium of basically every major event and he did it with tons of style. These days, Sean still rides hard but doesn’t compete as often. He’s been an integral part in the development of the future generation of riders. Mainly riders like Jett Lambert, Rob McClelland, and Whitley Stewart to name a few. Enjoy this clip of Sean tearing it up and winning the 2020 Nautique Masters now!
The World Games just took place in Chengdu, China and this was the first year that wakesurfing was included in the games! With over 40 sports represented by athletes from across the globe, we were honored to have team riders Bailey Rush and Jett Lambert represent Canada and the USA, along with Phase 5, at the inaugural event. They both also managed to take 1st place in Pro Women’s and Pro Men’s and take home a gold medal! Congrats!
Is your surfing a little stale? Are you ready to try something new? Well, let Whitley Stewart teach you step by step how to conquer the switch body varial! This is a great maneuver that can really open the gates to riding switch and getting comfortable riding that way.
Jett Lambert came out swinging this season with a dominating performance in the first stop of the Pro Wake Tour. Jett recently won the overall PWT series so we figured we’d send it back to the first stop to show you how he got there! Check it out now!
When it comes to wakesurfing, it’s easy to look towards the future. Always chasing the next big trick, the next spot, the next whatever…but it’s always good to look in the past and see where things have come from! That’s exactly what this “Throwback Thursday” is all about! This video, “An Afternoon On The Lake”, is just what it sounds like. A solid session with Max Smetts and Drew Danielo doing what they love – surfing! The footage might be a little grainy because this was way before 4k cameras were the norm and the wave might not be as gnarly as you’re used to these days, but the heart is there! Enjoy some throwback clips now!
We are stoked to welcome Canadian rider Morgan Bateman to team Phase 5! Morgan’s skills have really been shining these past few seasons and, with the help of fellow team rider and part-time coach Bailey Rush, she is really starting to come into her own. Learn more about her below and join us in welcoming her to the team!
Next up in our "currently" series is Whitley Stewart. Whitley has been focusing a bit more on life outside of wakesurfing and that's totally cool! Check out what she's been up to now!
Sean Silveira recently took a trip out to Thailand to get some sets in with team rider Songkrod Jomboon, aka BM. Song has been making a name for himself recently with some wins at the IWWF events and more. With a background in flow riding, he's got plenty of tech skills and style behind the boat. We're stoked to have him repping Phase 5 in Thailand and look forward to more from him!
After an offseason that didn’t exactly go how I planned, I’m beyond stoked to be back in the mix and kicking off the 2025 season strong. I’ve already hit two WWA stops and just wrapped the first stop of the Pro Tour in Ft. Worth—one of my favorite series. The format there pushes you to the limit, that isn’t always easy. It can be anyone's day!
When two legends meet, you know the content is going to be amazing! I’m speaking of course of Sean Silveira and wakeboarder Shaun Murray. Shaun Murray has been on the water for longer than most and with his infectious personality and amazing talent, it’s not hard to see why.
In this new series, we’ll be catching up with our riders to see what’s been “currently” happening with them. Whether it’s traveling for contests, free riding, or whatever, we want to know what they’re up to! We start with all-around ripper Parker Payne. Check it out!
The ultimate weekend warrior board, the Zilla v2 is all about having a good time behind the boat. Its long outline keeps your speed up and in the pocket of the wave while the fish tail gives you a playful feel on the water. In true longboard style, we’ve outfitted it with a singular 8” surf fin for those long, drawn out bottom turns!
Jett Lambert shreds. There’s no doubt about it. So he needs a board that can shred just as hard as he can. Since the beginning of his wakesurfing career, he has ridden the Phase 5 Key. His technical style of riding demands a board that can keep up and the Key has no issue doing so. For the second year, he has his own version of the board – the Jett Shreds Key. Complete with a brand new graphic for 2025, the Jett Shreds Key has all the same features as the normal Key. If you’re looking for a technical skim style board that can handle anything and everything, this is the board for you!
Just like surf fins, skim style fins can drastically change the feeling of your board on the water. Whether you’re looking for a skim fin that will be loose as a goose or one that will keep you locked into the wave, Phase 5 has you covered!
The Phase 5 Key by Sean Silveira has seen the top of the podium more times than any one can count at this point! This popular skim style board has been on the forefront of progression ever since its release. Since then, Sean has re-designed and tweaked it to fit his riding style and now with multiple iterations of the Key, there’s one for every rider!
The Phantom by Parker Payne has been updated to be the ultimate surfer for 2025. This high-performance quad fin set up has been fine tuned to keep up with Parker’s high-intensity surfing! With its concave deck, you get much more board feel and it really helps out with the maneuverability of the board on the water. Hard slayshes, huge airs, tech tricks…this board is made for it all!
The Key has been at the top of the most wanted list ever since its debut. Ridden by many on the team, the Key is a powerhouse when it comes to technical skim wake surfing. The Key Stewart Pro is Worlds & Nationals champion Whitley Stewart’s answer to a high-performance skim style with the ladies and smaller riders in mind.
The fins that you pair with your Phase 5 surf board play a crucial part on how the board reacts in the water. Drive, speed, pop, carving…they’re all affected by the size and shape of the fins that you have installed on your board!
The 2025 MVP by John Akerman is a high-performance tech-driven wake surf board that caters to riders with an aggressive style. John is very meticulous when it comes to designing his boards, whether it’s the MVP or the Ahi. He’s always tweaking and changing things up from year to year to really dial in his set up.
The Matrix skim style board has been on the forefront of technical progression ever since the shape was introduced into the Phase 5 line over 10 years ago. We couldn’t even begin to list out the insane amount of NBD tricks that have gone down on this shape over the years!
Sutton Smith is the latest addition to team Phase 5. Sutton is a ripper straight out of Tennessee and we’re stoked to have him on board for 2025. He’s only been riding for 3 years but has already shown some awesome potential and some solid technical skills. We’re looking forward to seeing what he can do this season as he competes and shreds all year long! Congrats, Sutton!
The very FIRST surf style board that we produced was the Aku. It’s always been a fun shape but we knew we could do better. With that in mind, the Aku V2 was born. This board is a speed demon that’s made for high-power slayshes and boosting above the lip of the wave.
Good vibes and great times were had by all at the 3rd Annual Phase 5 Regatta this year! The weather might not have been the best with the wind whipping both days but that didn’t slow us down one bit! With 50+ riders and various members of their family attending, there was no shortage of good times to be had.
The Regatta might have a strong emphasis on getting water time in but having so many riders together from so many different places gives us the opportunity to highlight some of their accomplishments from the past season with everyone there to enjoy! So with that in mind, we put on the Regatta Awards Dinner to show our appreciation for the team that lives and breathes Phase 5!
Fresh off his 2024 World Championship, surf style shredder Sam “Sammy G” Gonclaves has made the switch to Phase 5! Not only are we stoked to bring on someone with so much talent, he brings fresh ideas and concepts to the table which helps us bring even better boards to you! We’ve already started work on a pro model for him so make sure to keep your eyes peeled for that…but in the meantime, help us welcome Sammy G to team Phase 5!
If you’re into the ocean surfing world, you know that Tatianna Weston-Webb is a big deal. She recently got together with Phase 5 team rider Parker Payne to see what surfing behind the boat is all about! Check out the video above now!
Ryder Duczek’s mother sent us a message recently so we decided to take a stroll down memory lane! Ryder, along with his brother Dagan, were the first Canadians we brought onto team Phase 5, and for good reason. They rip! But early in his career, Ryder showed us that he had what it took to join the team. Check out what his mom, Loree, had to say about the video above! Yeah, Ryder!
Words that we live by…that’s how it is here at Phase 5! We don’t design and produce any board that we wouldn’t want to shred ourselves. Check out a little BTS of what goes into each and every board that comes through the factory in the video above! Boards handmade in the USA, since day 1!
John Akerman’s surf blade of choice, the Ahi, has been one of our most popular boards in the surf line the last few years. We believe this is partly due to the fact that not only does this board rip, John rides it all season long really putting it to the test so when the off season comes, he’s right there in the shaping room trying to make it even better, year after year.
When you go out and spend your hard earned cash on a brand new board, you want to rest assured that the board you’re riding has the same specifications as the pro you saw riding it, right? Well at Phase 5, that’s what we’re all about. We like to live by the motto “what you see is what you get”. There’s no fluff added behind the scenes to our boards and the boards that we send out to your local shop are the exact same boards that you see your favorite riders tearing it up on! Not only that but we make each and every board by hand in our factory in Venice, FL so we can monitor quality at the highest level.
