The 2025 Snapper is a brand new skim style board for the 2025 season. If your grom has been struggling to keep the board under his or her feet, this is the board for you. The Snapper is a very forgiving board and easy to balance on with its wide outline that helps keep the rider in the wave. It comes equipped with a full deck traction pad so you can feel gripped to the board no matter where your feet are placed. It comes in two sizes – 36” and 43” – that have differing levels of thickness (⅜” core for the 36” version and ½” core for the 43” version) so even the youngest riders can sink the board under their feet with the smaller version and bigger kids have more float with the 43” version. Keep the 2” skim fin on for ultimate control in the wave or take it off for a nice, slick skim style feel!

The 2025 Gizmo is the OG Phase 5 foil board! It’s light, stiff, and delivers the right amount of float. Made with our FLEXtec V2™ construction, the Gizmo board takes every pump from the rider and transfers that energy effortlessly to the foil so you can ride farther and longer. Its extra wide rounded nose helps you recover after a foil breach and the pulled in bottom half keeps the Gizmo very maneuverable. You can ride it with or without straps so you always have the option! The track system runs 10.75” so you have plenty of options as to where you want to set up your foil. Push it forward for new riders who are just getting used to the lift that a foil produces and then push it back as you get more comfortable!

Bailey Rush hit the scene hard this last season, racking up wins in most of the contests she entered. Not only that, her free riding is stylish, technical, and intense whether she’s riding a skim style or surf! So when we approached her to design her very own pro model board, we weren’t sure which route she would want to go in but she jumped at the opportunity to create a fresh new surf style board that she could make her own!

We’ve heard you and here is the answer! New for 2025, the Minnow is a grom-focused surf style board that’s here to help them take their riding to new heights. The Minnow is built just like our other surf style boards in the Performance Surf line so there’s no skimping on quality with it. It’s been glassed with our Flightlite V2™ Pro Select layup for ultimate strength and lightweight performance and comes equipped as a twin fin with two FCS fusion fin boxes. This keeps the board locked in and easy to keep speed on while also being easy for a smaller rider to break the fins free on slayshes and more. It comes with a pulled in nose design to keep the board from catching the lip while going up the wave and features an aggressive swallow tail so the groms can really attack the wave!

At Phase 5, we’re always looking for new and exciting ways to make our boards even better. To spice things up for 2025, we’ve added a new version of three of our most popular surf style shapes known as the STEALTH line. What’s so special about these boards, you ask? Well, we’ve added basalt to the already strong and highly-durable innegra weave. The basalt not only strengthens the board even more but also gives it even more snap off the wave so you can boost as high as possible!

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!

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!

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
