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! The go-to board of Parker Payne and many other riders, the Matrix has a thinner core than other boards in the line for insane pop off the wave and responsiveness on the water. The symmetrical outline is great for riding in revert or not and with its subtle V-Spline bottom contour, this board generates tons of speed, plenty of pop, and nice buttery landings. What’s not to love?
The Matrix Pro model, aka Parker Payne’s signature Matrix, is everything you know and love about the original Matrix with Parker’s awesome “sugar skull” graphic. A product of Parker’s own imagination, the graphic features an updated skull as well as a topographical map of Parker’s favorite lake (can you guess which one?!) that compliments his pro surf model – the Phantom – perfectly!
So whether you go with the regular model or Parker’s signature version of the Matrix, this board will not disappoint!
