Infinity Escape Pod

Short. Fast. Playful. A New Era of Small-Wave SUP Surfing.

The Infinity Escape Pod is the modern evolution of the iconic Phoenix — the board that kick-started the under-8' SUP surf movement. Originally launched in 2015, the Phoenix reshaped expectations of what SUPs could do. The Escape Pod takes that legacy and reimagines it for today’s riders with more speed, more flow and more fun than ever.

Co-designed by Dave Boehne and team rider Bernd Roediger, this board is built around effortless speed, incredible maneuverability and surprising stability for how short it rides.

If you're looking for a SUP surf board that feels alive under your feet — this is it.

Why the Escape Pod Exists

The original Phoenix was Infinity’s best-selling performance surf SUP for years, proving that ultra-short SUPs were not only possible, but insanely fun. The Escape Pod continues that evolution:

• Shorter

• Wider

• Faster

• More stable

• More responsive

This allows riders to drop a foot or more from their usual board size without losing balance or paddling efficiency.

It’s built for modern SUP surfing: compact, fast and designed to rip in everyday wave conditions.

How It Surfs

Automatic Speed

A straighter outline and wide tail generate instant planing speed — the board takes off with zero effort and stays fast down the line.

Twin-Fin Drive & Flow

The low-drag twin setup gives the Escape Pod incredible glide and freedom while still holding a strong line when carving.

Forgiving But High-Performance

Short and thick, but with volume hidden through the centre using:

• Tapered, angular rails

• Subtle S-deck

• Thinned-out nose and tail for reduced swing weight

This gives paddle stability without sacrificing performance.

Made for Real-World Waves

Works best in knee-high to head-high surf, whether beach breaks or open-face reefs.
Fast enough to make sections and playful enough to turn every wave into fun.

Bernd Roediger has even won contests riding this shape, including two Carolina Pro-Am victories.

Bottom Shape

• Slight rolled belly entry for lift

• Fast, clean midsection for instant speed

• Wide vee concave aligned with twin fins for smooth rail-to-rail transitions

• “Hex tail” design grips and responds even in hollower sections
