Hayden Shapes YOUTH GROM DARK NOIZ Surfboard - STAB In The Dark Edition The DarkNoiz, crowned the winning board in the 2026 Stab In The Dark by Ethan Ewing, is our most refined round tail performance shortboard, designed for maximum control, speed and flow in wave faces from 3–12ft. A fast, responsive rockerline combined with a round tail delivers maximum drive with the ability to push through powerful turns and smooth rail-to-rail transitions. Built in PU Polytech construction for a lively yet controlled feel in powerful and critical conditions. Maximum Control & Hold The round tail keeps you connected through longer arcs and holds your line in powerful conditions, drawing clean, committed turns without losing speed through critical sections. Fast, Tuned Rockerline Developed over decades, the rockerline delivers drive on demand while maintaining flow through every phase of the turn. With the lowest point positioned slightly behind centre, the board carries speed through the stance while allowing tight transitions and quick release off the tail. Precision Rail Line Finely balanced rails give the DarkNoiz a smooth, controlled feel without sacrificing responsiveness. It holds confidently through high-speed turns, yet remains loose enough to push vertically when the section demands it. Performance Concave System A subtle rolled vee entry flows 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 — delivering fast acceleration, smooth rail engagement and seamless transitions between turns. PU Polytech Construction A traditional PU core with a high-spec E-Glass layup and premium polyester resin delivers a lively, responsive flex with fast rebound and enhanced durability. Familiar, but faster, more reactive and more connected underfoot.

The construction combines a stringer-less, high-density custom shaped EPS core laminated with biaxial fiberglass, epoxy resin and a parabolic carbon fiber frame. The carbon fiber frame within the laminate is the key to the performance vitality of the overall product. Designed to maximize speed and drive while minimizing twist, FutureFlex essentially stores and releases energy as the surfer transitions through a turn. Tom Carroll, who was the very first person, after Hayden, to test drive the first ever FutureFlex, describes the tech as “the Ferrari of surfboards” for it’s fast-twitch nature and lively response. The FutureFlex construction creates a fast, dynamic and highly responsive surfboard that’s been design engineered for performance surfing ranging from the intermediate to advanced level.
