Phase 5 Diamond Turbo Wakesurf Board - 2027The 2027 Phase 5 Diamond Turbo targets experienced skim-style riders seeking speed, push, and pop. Its wider, squared-off tail adds surface area for aerial maneuvers and helps maintain momentum on smaller waves. A pulled-in nose supports responsive carving, while Twill Carbon construction and a tri-fin setup complete the performance-focused design.Best For Aerial progression: Added tail area provides push for launching off the wave.; Smaller-wave riding: Tail shaping helps riders maintain momentum.; Experienced riders: Responsive carving with an emphasis on lift and drive.; Shape & Riding PerformanceThe wider tail distinguishes the Turbo from the original Diamond, adding push while the pulled-in nose retains responsive handling. This combination suits riders developing airs and technical maneuvers.The 3/4-inch continuous core maintains the same thickness from nose to tail. Phase 5 describes this profile as offering more float and less responsiveness than its thinner 5/8-inch core-a useful tradeoff when choosing between flotation and sensitivity underfoot.The tri-fin configuration emphasizes control. Phase 5 describes this as its most stable fin setup, helping the board hold its line along the wave.Twill Carbon ConstructionThe Diamond Turbo uses Twill Carbon construction with polyester resin. Polyester provides strength and durability, while V.R.T. technology uses vacuum-assisted hand lamination with built-in glass/bar stringers along the bottom edge for additional strength and pop.A gloss finish completes the exterior, and the PROPEL bottom uses Phase 5's proprietary material for digital graphic inlays.Features Twill Carbon construction: Performance-focused build with polyester resin.; Continuous core: Consistent 3/4-inch thickness from nose to tail.; V.R.T. technology: Bottom-edge glass/bar stringers add strength and pop.; Tri-fin setup: Two 1-inch fakie fins accompany a 1-inch center tail fin on the 51" and 54" boards, or a 2-inch center tail fin on the 57".; P5 Techno Grip V2 Deluxe Skim pads: Mid-density EVA combines horizontal grooves and dimple dots for traction and connection to the board.; Gloss finish and PROPEL bottom: Exterior finish with digital graphic inlays.; Specifications & Size GuideLengthWidthVolumeSuggested Weight LimitRider Height54"20.75"10.6 L195 lbs.5'4"6'2"57"22"11 L220 lbs.5'8"6'5"Sizing assumes average fitness and ability.
