Meet the Zen 5, the ultimate balance of effortless speed and razor-sharp maneuverability. Built upon the proven foundation of our best-selling Zen 4, the Zen 5 takes performance hybrid design to the next level, offering the most glide and control of any board in its class.

Key Features & Design Highlights

• Proven Pedigree: Inherits the iconic rocker and generous nose width from the best-selling Zen 4, providing easy paddling and effortless wave catching.

• Speed-Driven Outline: Features a straighter rail line paired with a wide squash tail to generate maximum down-the-line velocity through flat sections.

• Innovative Bottom Contour: Engineered with a flat panel bottom that thins out the rails for enhanced sensitivity and rail-to-rail transitions.

• Channel & Concave System: The flat panel feeds directly into a channeled bottom above the front fins for extra drive and lift, combined with a deep double concave running between the fins for high-speed responsiveness.

• Versatile Fin Configurations: Performs exceptionally well as a thruster when paired with slightly larger fins, or drive it with the ultra-popular Twin + Trailer set up for a fast, free feeling with total hold.

• Ideal Conditions: Optimized specifically for head-high and under waves, making it your go-to daily driver for everyday surf.

Ride the Zen 5 1" to 2" shorter and 1/8" to 1/4" wider than your standard performance shortboard.
