Hey everyone.

Need some information on a couple of boards.

1. P5 Wire 57
2. P5 Ahi. 58

If anyone out there has some riding experience on these 2 boards, I would love to hear them.

Thanks.
Richard.

If you can find an AKU they are amazing. So fast and agile.

I tried to buy that at boardco it’s a mistake it says out of stock. Not sure about bakesonline.

Ha so glad you posted the bakes ad, got Evo to match the price, including the tax, saved me 109$!:)

Thanks for all the links. But being Canadian makes buying from the US expensive. I bought the Ahi for 1/2 price to see if I like the surf style. If I don’t like it I can sell it after the season. Just got the boat from storage yesterday and might make a trip out this long weekend. A bit chilly up here still, so might not get in the water just yet.
I’ll keep my eyes open for the Aku.
Thanks.

I see lots of love for Akus.... any of y’all like the P5 phantom? Dealer has one for sale, all out of the Akus. Thinking of picking it up and trying it out unless y’all think Aku is worth waiting for. Was going to go soulcraft but dealer convinced me the durability (I got lots of kids) of p5 is superior.

I have the Phantom. I have 6 boards. 4 surf style, 1 skim, and 1 hybrid. I can tell you everyone on my boat that likes surf style, rides the Phantom. Even my 200lb riders. I personally prefer skim, so I ride a Matrix. That being said, I have no experience with the Aku.

This my buddy 6'ish 200-210lbs, on the Phantom behind my boat.

That settles it then, Phantom it is. I have two skims and and hybrid.... don't know why it is taking so long to get a surf style board. Thank you for the rec!

Haven’t ridden the Phantom so I cannot comment on it. But it’s as good or better than the Aku, then I would really like it.

I just can’t recommend someone go out and spend $700 on a piece of equipment I have zero personal experience with. Hence why I said the Aku. It’s affordable and I know it’s a rocket.
