I have never ridden that board, but I can say from my experience I will never do phase 5 again. Way to over priced for what it is. I had a terrible board, and when I complained about that fact the traction just floated off first time in water, well I got terrible customer service. I am still waiting on the reissue they said they would do on the pad. Nothing yet, since last summer. IMo you can the same great deal with a custom board, made to you for what you want. I have had a lot of great experience with talking to these two companies and just from talking to them I would choose one from them anytime. If I wasn't trying to make my own right now
I would reach out to CHAOS and 1 of 1 customs. They are not only great boards, but have some of the best looking ones!!!. My opinion if your going to pay top dollar for a board, why pay for a generic one, go custom!
