Built for the rider pushing boundaries, the Phase Five MVP is John Akerman’s signature shape, designed to elevate skim-style performance. Featuring a full-deck EVA grip with both nose and tail kicks, this board supports aggressive riding and technical tricks. Unique to the MVP are Ridge Grip™ Rail Channels—strategically designed grab zones for easy handling during airs and spins. For 2022, the addition of a Moon tail improves speed and traction, helping you carry more momentum into big maneuvers. While the tail shape evolved, the rest of the board’s proven shape remains untouched, ensuring a balance of performance and forgiveness. With a double concave bottom, V-Spline tail, and a single 1” fin, the MVP delivers a fast, responsive ride with classic skim feel.
