The North Willow V2 is built for riders who want a clean, solid, street-focused deck under their feet. The Willow has always represented North’s signature “boxy” character: sharp lines, a stable platform, controlled slides, and that unmistakable feeling that the deck can take real abuse on tough spots. The V2 carries this mindset forward with refined details and a noticeably more mature construction.
The headtube features an extruded design that gives the front end extra stiffness, while the updated stainless spacer system offers cleaner axle alignment and improved durability. The CNC-machined deck ends aren’t just more precise, they also wear much slower, which is a huge advantage for technical, pegless grinding. The concave is mild – just enough to anchor your feet securely without restricting movement when you need subtle weight shifts.
Riders choose the Willow V2 because it doesn’t try to be flashy. It’s built to respond predictably, resist twisting, and hold its line during long slides. The North team has been working for years at the intersection of street riding technique and clean engineering, and this deck captures exactly the feel that keeps their riders coming back to it.
If you want a balanced, strong, and easy-to-handle deck that truly supports urban riding, the Willow V2 is one of the best options out there.
