The Phoenix Project opens up a new spectrum of board designs and riding styles allowing a rider to push all the way up the wake and, as the tail passes through the peak, it continues to build energy, not dampening the ride like most "flex" boards out there. A rider can feel the shift in board energy from the nose to the tail the longer they wait due to the unique lay up and wide 28" stance option. A deck that you session more like your favorite snowboard, timing the wake with a later pop. Or just ride it like a traditional board with a mellower snap and super forgiving landings. With the Phoenix Project's thinner profile and blended glass, you can feel a balance point while pressing rails. The board flexes until it locks. A newfangled shape, winning the 2011 Alliance and Transworld favorite board of the year honors, for riders that want more of a snow/skate feel leaving the wake and added control on rails, or that just have a conventional style and want a smoother overall ride. For decades, our engineers have been developing different layups of glass, constructions, woods and foams to create a board that does one thing, store energy. New for this year, we have the Phoenix Project S; lighter, a later kick, more feel on the water and control on rails.

• Full center rail creates a smooth transferring board from edge to edge
• Blends to a more vertical sidewall in the tip and tail allowing the board to ride higher on the water with more glide speed
• Most exaggerated bottom bevel starts out at 4 degrees blending to 18 degrees on the ends, super forgiving and less likely to get hung up on rails
• Deep symmetrical channels - help with acceleration through a turn and push the rider into the wake
• Subtle tunnel - more efficient water flow and stabilizes landings
• Rocker line carries a lot of speed up the wake making it easier for a rider to have a late take off
• Sintered Base - The most durable non-stick base material we have ever tested on rails without losing any glide speed on the water
• Blended Glass - Our secret concoction absorbs more energy before rebounding it - a lightweight woven construction brings less swing weight and increased feel on the water to the board
• Mod Pour - The highest strength to weight ratio we have ever tested, setting the standard of the most refined recipe of foam out there
• Four Slider Fins - A fin actually designed to be sessioned on rails, also for riders that like that finless feel, the wider design creates turbulence giving it a less gratuitous grip on the water
• Four Fiberglass 1.0" ramp fins
• Versatile cable and boat board with a controlled flex
• Ridden by Erik Ruck and Marc Rossiter
