Intermediate surfer. 6’2”, 180#, been riding about nine seasons now. Over the last 5 to 6 years have surfed mostly surf style boards. Started on a IS squirt, moved to an older (maroon) sweet spot for a couple seasons, then bought a used soulcraft jetty which I used behind my Avy until I upgraded to an Enzo last year. With the new boat I got a phase 5 race 53.5 which I’ve happily been using since then. Really fun, playful, nice and fast and I really have a blast with it. Lucky to go on a boat demo recently and rode a newer sweet spot which pearled much less than my old one. Ventured into some skim boards including the phase 5 diamond CL 54, hypsta 54, and diamond 54. I tried the CL first and really enjoyed it. Not super slippery, good speed and feedback on the wave. I then moved to the hypsta and fell in love immediately. This thing is super fast yet stable and a little wider platform. I couldn’t quite equal the air I get on my race, but kept reaching for the board to ride it again. This week I got to demo the diamond. To me this seemed the best of both worlds. It was very fast like the hypsta, but seems just a little stiffer and allows me to get up in the air a bit better. A little more slippery but I’m getting used to it and having a ball. Easy to butter and maintain speed, even riding switch ( with the rope) and as close to landing a three as ever. Get the board in the right position at the back of the wave and it’s a rocket. I have not consistently recovered from this far back on a surf style. I know these are not very technical descriptions. I’m no pro but I spent a lot of time on the water. Happy to offer feedback on any of these boards if anybody’s looking. I was definitely impressed by phase 5 however, they have some awesome stuff out there.
