Phase 5 Hypsta V2 Wakesurf Board - 2027The 2027 Phase 5 Hypsta V2 combines an easy-riding foundation with a refined shape for more active skim-style riding. Its familiar nose and wide midsection maintain stability and generous volume, while a significantly pulled-in tail adds control and quicker edge-to-edge transitions. An adaptable tri-fin setup complements that versatility, giving newer riders a confident platform and advanced riders room to carve harder and progress.Best For Newer riders: A stable, easy-riding platform for building confidence and board control.; Carving progression: A pulled-in tail adds control and quicker transitions between edges.; Shared crew riding: Versatile handling for different ability levels, provided riders suit the selected board size.; Riders seeking more float: A wide midsection and 3/4-inch core emphasize flotation alongside maneuverability.; Shape & Riding PerformanceThe Hypsta V2 retains the stability and volume of its easy-riding foundation while refining the tail for more performance-focused handling. Its wide midsection provides a confident platform, and the significantly pulled-in tail makes the board quicker from edge to edge. For shoppers, this combination is a reason to consider the Hypsta V2 when seeking a board that accommodates learning and continued progression.Both sizes use a 3/4-inch continuous core, maintaining 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. That tradeoff suits riders who value flotation while still wanting a shape capable of stronger carving and more active riding.The tri-fin setup includes one 2-inch tail fin and two 1-inch fakie fins. Phase 5 describes its tri-fin configuration as its most stable setup, helping the board hold a consistent line. The Hypsta V2's adaptable fin arrangement adds versatility for different riding styles and preferences.Hybrid Carbon Innegra ConstructionHybrid 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.
