Help ID this Phase 5 skim board
Anyone know if this is a kids board or for an adult? It came with my boat last year. I finally learned on surf board, but wanted to know if this was adult or kid. I can’t find it online.

What an awesome upgrade. Would highly recommend. I haven't put an actual timer to the fill and drain times, but I think it fills 3 1100# bags in 6 or 7 minutes. Seems like they drain faster.
