The Phase Five Kong 2027 belongs to the Fun Surf Style range of Phase Five.

Its goal: to offer an accessible, comfortable and fun wakesurfing experience, with a voluminous board that retains liveliness on the wave.

Unlike a compact skimboard, the Kong prioritizes a large gliding surface. This allows you to stay in the wave pocket with less effort and explore a more traditional surfing style.

A wide nose for added stability

The Kong's generous nose provides a comfortable platform for moving forward on the board. It facilitates rider movement and allows for exploring advanced positions, including nose riding.

This design is particularly interesting for relaxation sessions and for riders who want to vary the sensations without exclusively seeking technical maneuvers.

A responsive tail for carving

The rounded sting pintail allows for good maneuverability despite the board's length. By moving back towards the tail, the rider can accelerate their turns, propel the board forward, and vary their lines.

The fast rocker also helps to maintain speed and stay in the wave.

Flightlite V2 Pro Select Construction

Phase Five uses its Flightlite™ V2 Pro Select construction, advertised as 20 % lighter. It includes, among other things:

• An EPS core.

• Innegra reinforcement on the deck and hull.

• A Flexspine™ Carbon Stringer.

• An epoxy resin.

• VRT™ technology and Reflex Speedrail.

This construction aims to maintain a lively feel underfoot while limiting the weight of a large board.

Four FCS Fusion derivatives

The Kong features a quad fin setup with four FCS Fusion fins. The configuration varies depending on the size:

• 69″: drifts of 5.5″.

This setup promotes grip, drive, and control in corners.

Full pad for added grip

The P5 Techno Grip™ V2 Full Deck pad covers the deck of the board. It allows you to shift your weight and change position while maintaining consistent grip.
