Ian reviews the Sharp Eye Modern 2 Fusion E2 surfboard: The Sharp Eye Disco Cheater surfboard in Fusion E2 technology is a reworking of the original Disco model, a proven small wave weapon. Still with the same rocker and concaves but a little more forgiving than the original Disco, with a little more area overall which helps with paddle speed. This additional volume and area opens up the DC to a wider audience with a more predictable and stable ride and even more wave catching ability for the intermediate rider who may be looking for their first proper 'shortboard'.
Still eminently 'ripable' the Disco Cheater turns on a dime and is still able to perform when a little more sizable surf is on offer.
Head shaper and Sharp Eye founder Marcio Zouvi has designed the Disco Cheater as a small wave tool for attacking average surf in California, but this kind of generous shortboard would definitely make a great 'go-to' ride for the vast majority of surf we encounter here in the UK and Europe especially in the summertime.
The new Fusion E2 construction is built around a stringerless EPS blank with exclusive carbon strips added to both the deck and bottom adding strength and brilliant flex memory for the boards lifespan. The carbon strip on the deck has a small gap running the length which has virtually eliminated any 'chatter' sometimes associated with EPS boards. The deck is glassed with a 4oz glassing topped with a layer of 4oz biax to be light and strong. The bottom is glassed with a single layer of 6oz.
This is a wicked little board which you can customize with some different fin choices.
The Disco Cheater surfboard comes with 5 x FCS II fin plugs so you can choose between a thruster set for a more controlled and predictable ride and a quad set for a looser and more dynamic feel in gutless waves.
This is a match made in heaven...a brilliant board for average conditions constructed from what is going to be one of the very best technological advances in surfboard manufacture; a tech which is light, durable (not bulletproof) which injects life particularly into boards which excel in smaller conditions.
We're genuinely stoked to be stocking these Sharp Eye surfboards and very excited about Fusion E2 technology which we think is another significant stride towards the perfect balance of performance and durability with an eye on environmental impact.
