Darkside
TECHNOLOGY
The Darkside is our most highly tuned performance shortboard, built for maximum speed, drive and responsiveness in quality waves from 3–12ft faces. A fast, flowing rockerline creates instant acceleration and effortless projection, while the round square tail adds release and control through powerful turns. Finished in our PU Polytech construction, the Darkside delivers a lively flex pattern and rapid response that makes every turn feel exciting, while retaining the familiar feel of a traditional PU surfboard.
Features
Speed Without Effort
Fast, flowing rocker lines create instant acceleration and effortless down-the-line speed, helping generate speed naturally without needing to constantly force the board through sections.
Maximum Drive With Instant Release
The rocker, concaves and tail design work together to create strong drive and projection off the bottom, while still allowing quick release through the lip and tight directional changes.
Ultra Responsive
Finely tuned rails and performance-driven concaves deliver immediate feedback underfoot, giving the board a highly responsive and connected feel through every turn.
Everyday to High Quality Waves
Designed to perform across a wide range of conditions, from everyday beach breaks to quality reefs and point breaks in waves from 3–12ft.
PU Polytech Construction
Our PU Polytech construction combines rapid flex with fast torsional response, delivering a lively, reactive feel with the familiar control and feedback of traditional PU boards.

ROCKER
Developed since the early 2000s and inspired by Craig Anderson’s fast, flowing style, the rocker uses a refined curve placement: the lowest point sits slightly behind centre, creating a flatter, faster section under the stance while maintaining enough tail curve for tight pocket control and instant release under pressure.
CONCAVES
Underneath, the Darkside features a subtle rolled vee entry flowing into a single concave under the front foot, blending into a double concave through the fins and finishing with a slight vee-double out the tail. The result is a board that accelerates fast and transitions rail-to-rail effortlessly.
RAIL
The rail line is finely balanced with a slightly below center apex, giving the DarkNoiz a smooth, controlled feel without sacrificing release. It holds confidently through high-speed turns, yet remains loose enough to push vertically when the section is there.
PU POLYTECH CONSTRUCTION
PU Polytech construction pairs a traditional PU core with high-spec E-Glass and premium polyester resin, delivering a lively, responsive flex with fast rebound and a refined modern take on the classic PU feel.
