Panda Surfboards | NOZ V1 – Twinzer Shortboard

The NOZ V1 by Panda Surfboards is a hybrid twinzer shortboard, inspired by 1980s designs and developed to combine natural speed, loose flow and modern responsiveness. The additional volume improves paddling and early wave entry, while the twinzer setup delivers fast acceleration, projection and control through turns. Designed to be ridden slightly thicker than a conventional shortboard, it performs well in waves from 0.5 m to 2 m+, especially in walled-up conditions, varied beach breaks and fast sections where speed and flowing lines can be fully explored.

Available from 5’5” to 6’5”, with volumes ranging from 23.6L to 41.8L, the NOZ V1 suits surfers looking for effortless speed, strong paddling ability and dynamic rail response. The more generous volume distribution and recommendation to ride it slightly thicker than a conventional shortboard help create earlier wave entry and natural acceleration, while maintaining a fast and fluid feel through transitions.

Built in PU or EPS, the NOZ V1 was designed to combine natural speed, dynamic responsiveness and a fluid feel underfoot. The more generous volume distribution and Twinzer configuration work together to generate fast acceleration, continuous projection and strong rail control. The balance between classic elements and a more modern approach creates a fast, lively board that easily adapts to different surfing styles and wave conditions.

Designed for waves from 0.5 m to 2 m+, the NOZ V1 performs exceptionally well in walled-up beach breaks, point breaks and a variety of conditions where speed and projection can be fully explored. The combination of additional volume and the Twinzer setup creates a fast and fluid feel, working particularly well in waves such as Carcavelos, Coxos and Supertubos on less hollow days, as well as more playful and maneuverable sessions at São Julião or Arrifana.

Designed for intermediate to advanced surfers, the NOZ V1 is ideal for riders looking to explore a faster and more fluid approach without sacrificing the responsiveness of a modern board. The additional volume improves paddling and makes speed generation easier, while the Twinzer setup rewards surfers who enjoy engaging the rail and drawing longer, more projected lines. It offers enough accessibility for progression while delivering the performance needed for more technical surfing.

Compatible with FCS II and Futures systems. The NOZ V1 uses a Twinzer setup, designed to combine the fast, free feeling of a traditional twin with added control and projection through turns. The small front fins help direct water flow toward the main fins, creating a fast feel with strong drive generation and dynamic rail response. This setup offers a balance between flow, acceleration and modern control.

The NOZ V1 delivers a fast, fluid and responsive surfing experience, with effortless acceleration and strong rail connection through turns. Ideal for surfers looking for longer drawn-out lines, projected carvings and smooth transitions between maneuvers, it combines the free-flowing speed of a Twinzer setup with a modern approach that adds control and responsiveness in faster sections.
