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.
Another young grom ripper that we’re adding to the Phase 5 roster this year is Declyn Van Der Riet! Hailing from Windermere, FL, Declyn is right in the heart of the wake surfing scene. And with plenty of other Phase 5 riders in the area, we’re stoked to see Declyn’s progression this coming year as he rides and trains with the best riders in the sport! Stoked to have you, Declyn!
To start 2025, we’ve added some grom rippers to the team and we’ll be highlighting them over the next few weeks. We start with Heidi Jo Neal from Flower Mound, TX. Heidi joins her big sister Collins Neal on the P5 team and we’re stoked to have them! Her family is all about surfing, with mom and dad being avid surfers as well. You know what they say…a family that shreds together, stays together!
In 2024, it seemed like no matter where you turned, Whitley Stewart was standing on the top spot of a podium. One of the most technical riders out there, Whitley traveled around all season long shredding and sharing the stoke with tons of different riders. Not only that, she had a pro model release at the end of the season (the Stewart Pro) which really cemented her top status. We caught up with Whitley to chat about the season, her new board, and what the future holds for her.
To say Jett Lambert, aka @JettShreds, had a good 2024 season would be a bit of an understatement. Winning every contest he entered, besides one, traveling the world, dropping NBD’s like nobody else, and having a good attitude the whole time, 2024 treated Jett very well. We caught up with him to chat about it and see what he has in store for 2025. Check it out below!
Lee Hite is a young gun and new to the Phase 5 team for 2024. He rips on both surf and skim style and just placed 3rd in Pro Men’s Skim at the Nautique European Wakesurf Championships so we’d say things are looking pretty good for him! Get to know him a little better below.
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.
