Phase 5 Gadget

Phase Five collaborated with foil expert John Akerman to develop an exciting new foil-specific board. He requested a light-weight, minimalistic deck to execute a variety of airs OR help first timers get up and flying. The thin skim style construction sinks under the water nicely, making it easier than a buoyant surf style board to situate before getting pulled up. The coffin outline offers forgiveness while the wide squash tail provides extra stability and control. The improved angled front foot strap delivers a natural comfortable feel for your stance rather than the previous straight vertical configuration. It is built with Phase Five’s high end skimboard construction using Carbon Innegra Vertical (CI-V) weave and epoxy resin for superior strength. The Gadget features an adjustable 10.75 long track mount for the foil.

Nova Foil

The Phase Five Nova Foil package is designed to make hydrofoiling user-friendly, approachable and fun in a wide range of wave conditions. The package delivers the best of both worlds with plenty of lift and early takeoff for catching even the smallest rolling waves yet holds ample speed and glide to stay connected to the wave energy. The magic is in the 760 Front Wing, which has a large, low-aspect shape incorporating an Inverted Gull Wing outline that gives it much better top-end speed and easy to engage pumping performance than many foils of similar size and surface area.
