Premium Skim Style — Phase Five — 2026
Who this is for
First-timers through to progressing riders chasing their first 360. If you want to get up faster, build real skills, and ride the same board Dave Pimson trusts at the Okanagan Surf School — this is your board.
The board
There’s a reason Dave Pimson and the Okanagan Surf School make the 2026 Phase Five Diamond Turbo their number one teaching tool on Okanagan Lake. While most shops suggest a bulky surf-style board for beginners, Dave’s philosophy is different — the right skim-style hybrid is actually the fastest way to get you up, carving, and landing your first 360. From your first lesson to your first surface spin, this is the most versatile, proven, and locally-trusted wakesurf board in our shop.
The Dave Pimson advantage
Dave has spent thousands of hours on our North Okanagan lakes. He trusts the Diamond Turbo for two specific reasons:
The flip-up advantage
The Diamond Turbo’s thinner skim-style profile makes the initial flip-up effortless in the water. Less fighting the board’s buoyancy means more focus on balance — and faster progression.
Built-in progression
Dave runs a three-stage fin progression on this board. Beginners start with taller 2” fins for maximum stability and a locked-in feel. As confidence builds, he drops to the stock 1” fins for more freedom. When riders are ready to spin, he goes down to a single 1” fin — transforming the board into a loose, playful 360-machine.
What makes it work
Hybrid Diamond Tail
The wide tail generates serious push, keeping you in the pocket even behind boats with less displacement.
CI-V Carbon Innegra
Built to handle heavy daily use at a surf school while staying light and snappy enough for airs and tricks.
Turbo Rocker Profile
A specialised nose rocker prevents pearling on the takeoff, giving you the confidence to charge the wake without fear of nose-diving.
