Phase 5 Matrix Pro Wakesurf Board

Phase 5 Matrix Pro Wakesurf Board - 2027

The 2027 Phase 5 Matrix Pro pairs the competition-proven Matrix shape with Parker Payne's signature graphic. Its thin core and boxy rails deliver immediate response and strong pop, while a symmetrical outline supports riding with either end forward. Subtle V-Spline bottom contours maintain speed and sensitivity through technical trick combinations. Hybrid Carbon Innegra construction and a single 1-inch skim fin complete a performance-focused platform for demanding skim-style riding.

Best For

• Advanced skim-style riders: Riders seeking immediate response for precise transitions and technical maneuvers.
• Revert progression: A symmetrical outline supports riding with the board reversed after a rotation.
• Linking tricks: V-Spline bottom contours help maintain speed through successive maneuvers.
• Signature styling: Riders who want the established Matrix shape with Parker Payne's signature graphic.

Shape & Riding Performance

The Matrix Pro's symmetrical outline supports riding naturally with either end forward. This makes the shape particularly relevant to rotational tricks that leave the board traveling in reverse, helping riders develop control before and after a maneuver.

The thin core and boxy rails provide immediate response and strong pop. All sizes use a 5/8-inch continuous core, maintaining the same thickness from nose to tail. Phase 5 describes this profile as offering less float with increased responsiveness, pop, and sensitivity - a useful distinction for riders who prioritize precise board control over additional flotation.

Subtle V-Spline bottom contours help maintain speed and sensitivity through technical trick combinations. The single 1-inch skim fin complements that focus with low drag, quick release, and precise control, supporting riders working on successive maneuvers rather than isolated tricks.

Hybrid Carbon Innegra Construction

Hybrid Carbon Innegra uses a lightweight glass weave incorporating carbon and Innegra fibers. Phase 5 designs this material to produce a fast, stiff board for demanding performance riding. It complements the Matrix Pro's sensitive shape and technical skim-style focus.

Pro-Formance XL construction emphasizes low weight, while epoxy resin contributes strength and stiffness, particularly when combined with carbon fiber. V.R.T. technology uses a vacuum-assisted hand lamination process with built-in glass/bar stringers along the bottom edge for extra strength and pop.

A lightweight texture finish completes the exterior, while the PROPEL bottom uses Phase 5's proprietary material for digital graphic inlays.

Specifications & Size Guide

Compare rider weight and height with the suggested ranges below when selecting a Matrix Pro. Length, width, and volume increase across the lineup, while every size retains the same 5/8-inch thickness and single 1-inch skim fin.

Sizing assumes average fitness and ability. Experienced riders may prefer smaller boards; beginners may need larger sizes.
