DarkNoiz
Haydenshapes DarkNoiz Surfboard
The Haydenshapes DarkNoiz is a refined high-performance round tail surfboard built for surfers chasing speed, control, and drawn-out rail surfing in quality waves. Crowned the winning board in Stab in the Dark 2026 under Ethan Ewing, the DarkNoiz is Haydenshapes' most performance-focused round tail to date. Designed for everything from punchy beach breaks to powerful point and reef waves, it's built for surfers who want confidence when the waves turn on.
Developed around Ethan Ewing's smooth, powerful approach, the DarkNoiz combines a fast, finely tuned rocker with a refined round tail to deliver exceptional hold through long carving turns while maintaining speed through critical sections. Precision rails and an advanced bottom contour work together to create effortless rail-to-rail transitions, making the board feel fast, predictable, and incredibly connected under your feet. Built in Haydenshapes' PU Polytech construction, it offers the lively feel of a traditional PU surfboard with enhanced durability and rebound for surfers who demand performance in better waves.
