AK Phazer Duratech v4 Foil Board 2024
IN A NUTSHELL...
The Duratech Phazer foilboard comes in two sizes, 5'10" and 6'2", offering a dependable platform suitable for both light wind winging and riders on the heavier side. Its design features sharp release edges, a stepped rail, and a flatter rocker profile, all of which contribute to early planing capabilities. The generous width of the tail ensures stability during light wind gliding or sub-planing, while the deep step in the tail minimizes the risk of catching when pumping.

KEY FEATURES
KEY FEATURES
THICK PROFILE
Packing a surprising amount of float into such a short length reduces the swing weight, keeping the board easy to pump and turn. The volume is optimized for stability and works with the high apex rail to keep the board as nimble as possible.
ROCKER CURVE
The slight nose kick prevents the board from pearling with enough curve to recover touch downs. The flat tail rocker maximizes paddle speed to help you get into waves early. It also ensures the foil angle is always 90 degrees when flying, helping to trim and maintain a balanced ride.
NARROW NOSE
Faster to paddle, easier to push the nose into waves, and less chance of catching the nose through turns. The widest part of the outline is quite far forward for easy paddling, while the curve in the outline keeps the flow for mid-turn touch downs.
CONCAVE DECK
The concave deck makes it feel much more stable and comfortable when paddling. This allows you to push your chest forward to generate speed when paddling into the waves, while keeping the board stable. It also makes you feel more connected to the foil with the advantage of the extra volume on the rails for stability.
BOTTOM SHAPE
The rounded V on the nose helps prevent the nose from sticking on touch downs, instead recovering without losing too much speed. The mid-section runs into a single concave for maximum paddle speed. Larger models have a longer release edge optimizing the early planing at lower speed.
GORE AUTO VENT
GORE auto vents provide a waterproof and breathable solution, thanks to their proprietary GORE Membrane. This breathable membrane has a microporous structure that allows air and gases to pass through freely, so pressures are equalized, and moisture diffused before problems arise.
DURATECH CONSTRUCTION
Durable composite shell with lightweight core. Wood sandwich standing area. Heavy duty foil connection.
Covering an ultra-lightweight fused EPS core, the durable composite shell optimizes durability while minimizing weight. The wood sandwich standing area creates additional strength in the standing area and works together with the T- Stringers on the bottom deck to enhance stiffness. The foil connection features a heavy duty high-density load plate, which carries the load of the foil and connects it to the top deck for a direct connection between the foil and the rider.
