Add to CartDeveloped with Ashley Inloes, the 2027 Phase 5 Mindset brings technical skim-style performance to smaller riders. Its narrower outline offers easier control without excess width underfoot, giving kids and lighter riders a proportioned platform for developing their skills. The shape supports quick spins, revert riding, and pop for airs, while its stiff Hybrid Carbon Innegra construction and responsive 5/8-inch core suit riders working on technical maneuvers.
The Mindset's narrower outline reduces excess width underfoot, providing smaller riders with a more manageable platform for controlling the board. Its shape supports quick spins and revert riding, along with pop for getting airborne off the wave.
All four sizes use a 5/8-inch continuous core, meaning the board maintains the same thickness from nose to tail. Phase 5 describes this thinner profile as offering less float with greater responsiveness, pop, and sensitivity. For shoppers, that makes responsive handling a key reason to choose the Mindset, alongside its smaller-rider proportions.
The single 1-inch tail fin complements that technical skim-style focus. Phase 5's single-fin configuration minimizes drag to emphasize speed and agility—useful characteristics for riders developing spins and quick changes in direction.
Hybrid Carbon Innegra uses a lightweight glass weave incorporating carbon and Innegra fibers. Phase 5 designs this construction to produce a fast, stiff board for demanding performance riding. On the Mindset, it complements the responsive core and shape intended for technical skim-style progression.
Pro-Formance XL construction further emphasizes low weight, while epoxy resin contributes strength and stiffness. V.R.T. technology uses a vacuum-assisted hand lamination process with built-in glass/bar stringers along the board's bottom edge for extra strength and pop.
