Born from the arrival of children in wakesurfing

La Phase Five Shrimp It was born from the trend of children starting wakesurfing at increasingly younger ages. Phase Five designed it as the little sister of the Scamp: a more compact board for the youngest riders on the boat.

A fine skim core: getting up effortlessly

Her 1/2 skim core in that It easily pushes under the feet, which helps the child stand up quickly. With only 4.5 L volume, The Shrimp is lightweight, simple to maneuver and easy to control, even for a very small frame.

A unique 2-inch drift: control and progression

The Shrimp is equipped with a only skimboard drift of 2"» on the tail (mono-fin setup). It offers enough traction to keep the board stable in the wave and allows the child to learn the basics: finding their position, understanding the wave, and then starting to turn.

Composilite™ construction: lightweight and durable

Like the Scamp, the Shrimp uses the construction Composilite™, Molded by Phase Five in the USA, very durable: winding E-Glass™, continuous core, polyester resin and finish TuffCoat™ Gloss. A board designed to withstand the sessions of a child learning.

Traction: comfort and grip

The pad Scamp Skim + P5 Techno Grip™ v2 ensures good grip for wet feet.

Each board is unique

Handmade in Venice, Florida, the Shrimp are individually decorated: colors and graphics vary from one board to the next. The visuals on the site are given as examples.
