Phase Five Sensei Wakesurf Board
The Phase Five Sensei, designed by John Akerman, introduces an all-new high-performance shape for 2026—crafted for the next evolution of wakesurfing. As waves have grown larger and faster, the Sensei was created to thrive in these powerful conditions. Its narrow profile and pulled-in tail design allow riders to maintain precision control on steep, fast waves, while the straight-angled midsection channels speed seamlessly through the wings into a tapered tail. This winged tail design unlocks explosive acceleration, tighter turns, and unmatched responsiveness, allowing advanced riders to attack the wave with confidence and flow. Built with the 2X HD Propel™ layup, the Sensei delivers the perfect balance of durability, lightness, and flex for the most demanding surf-style riding. Equipped with a quad FCS Fusion fin setup, it’s the board for riders ready to master high-speed surf behind the boat.
