DHD Phoenix Flight EPS 5'6" Futures Surfboard

The DHD Phoenix Flight EPS Surfboard is the refined evolution of one of DHD's best-selling small-wave models, designed to make weak surf faster, sharper, and more performance-oriented. Keeping the original Phoenix DNA of easy paddling, instant speed, and a playful feel, the Phoenix Flight introduces a more refined outline, sleeker nose, narrowed tail, and thinner overall profile for tighter turns, quicker transitions, and improved control when the waves become more powerful. Now available in the latest Stringered EPS Epoxy construction, the Phoenix Flight combines lightweight EPS foam with a traditional timber stringer and advanced 160G BIAX fiberglass cloth. This construction delivers increased responsiveness, durability, speed, and control while maintaining the lively feel and fast acceleration that EPS boards are known for. The timber stringer also helps reduce chatter and improves stability in choppy or more demanding conditions. The Phoenix Flight paddles effortlessly thanks to its fuller front end, while the refined tail and thinner foil give it the feel of a true performance shortboard once you're on your feet. It generates speed instantly in weak surf, flows smoothly through slower sections, and stays reactive and playful even as conditions improve toward chest-high or head-high waves. Its versatility is one of the biggest highlights of the Phoenix Flight. Ride it as a thruster for added drive and control, as a quad for extra speed and looseness, or as a twin-plus-trailer for a more skatey and playful feel. Designed to adapt easily to both the day's conditions and your personal surfing style. The flat rocker, medium low rails, and shallow single to double concave create excellent speed and easy rail-to-rail transitions, while the squash tail keeps the board lively and responsive in everyday surf conditions. The construction also includes White Carbon Innegra Toe Patches and Tiger Claws reinforcements for added strength and durability without sacrificing flex or responsiveness. Compatible with FCS II and Futures fin systems.
