The White Noiz V2 is a refined small-wave performance shortboard shaped with direct input from style icon Craig Anderson. Built for progressive surfing, this board offers the sensitivity and responsiveness needed for sharp turns and dynamic rail work, making it an ideal companion for clean, playful surf. With a slightly fuller plan shape around the 12” marks in both the nose and tail, it carries a touch more surface area—allowing it to be ridden 1–2 inches shorter than your standard shortboard without sacrificing flow or control.
This model is tailored for surfers progressing through their skill curve and also caters to seasoned riders looking for a lively, high-performance option in small-to-moderate surf. The rocker and outline boast smooth, continuous curves, creating a stable and predictable feel underfoot that excels when the wave face opens up. Importantly, the White Noiz V2 is not designed for mushy or gutless conditions—this is no grovel board—but when the surf cleans up, it truly comes to life.
Pros
High-performance DNA: Built for precise turns, speed generation, and progressive maneuvers.
User-friendly rocker: Smooth curves make it comfortable and predictable in a variety of conditions.
Versatile skill range: Great for intermediate surfers looking to advance, yet tuned enough for experts.
Cons
Not for weak surf: Lacks the flat rocker or width typical of dedicated grovelers.
Requires clean conditions: Performs best when the wave face is open and has shape.
Final Verdict
The White Noiz V2 is a well-balanced small-wave performance shortboard that blends playful energy with precision shaping. While it won’t replace your groveler on knee-high days, it shines in waist-to-head high surf with clean lines and responsive sections. For surfers who value feel, flow, and the ability to push performance in better small waves, this board is a worthy addition to the quiver.
