Phase 5 Matrix Payne Pro Skim Wakesurf Board 2026

Phase Five Matrix Wakesurfer / Matrix Payne Pro

The Phase Five Matrix Wakesurfer delivers next-level performance built for technical riders seeking maximum precision and pop. A favorite among Phase Five’s top professional athletes, including Parker Payne, the Matrix is engineered with a thinner core and boxy rails to create unmatched responsiveness and explosive lift off the wave. Its symmetrical outline makes it ideal for revert riding, while the subtle V-Spline bottom contours generate effortless speed and sensitivity for complex tricks. Reinforced with a carbon stringer, the Matrix is crafted using Hybrid Carbon™ Innegra construction for durability and stiffness without sacrificing a lightweight feel. The Matrix Payne Pro edition features a unique, Parker Payne–designed bottom graphic, while maintaining identical performance and construction specs as the original Matrix. Both models come equipped with a single 1” Skim Fin for clean tracking and precise control.
