Similar reason to why I don't ride Tomo's any more. I felt like I surfed great on the Evo and the Nano (a couple very memorable waves on the Nano), but every time I looked down at that dumb round nose I'd get bummed out. Like yeah I'm ripping but look at this gey ass nose. I'm an aesthetics guy I guess.
Ya feel same way about superbuzz nose and if yes ya need a buzzsaw :shrug:

I still like my Insanity a lot, I just haven't ridden it much recently. I can't remember if Aruka liked his or not.

Insanity to me feels like a stretched out Disco Cheater. Lower entry rocker on the Insanity but exit rockers feel very similar.
Insanity is good. I probably oversized mine and would go shorter if I got another. Rocker felt a little low which kept it from becoming a go to although I did have some memorable sessions on it, mostly in bigger waves. Couldn't decide when to ride it over a more lively shortboard or a more legit step up.

RNF96 + Disco Cheater would be a pretty good combo from barely surfable to your step up. Both has surprising low end and high end.
This is what I did all summer. I think the disco cheater depends where you’re coming from. If you normally ride a full on short board (because of skill or conditions or combo) the DC is absolutely a groveler. my 5’10 19.75 is like 14.15in wide on the nose. What’s a normal 5’10 shortboard nose? 12.5?

but if you’re a RNF96 daily driver type surfer (me), the DC has a lot more rocker, more rail line at the same volume and a rrally pulled in tail for what Sharpeye calls a “small wave board”. For a 45yr old, lazy but competent surfer it can be your better wave board, as long as you don’t line in Hawaii etc

Do you ride a disco cheater same length as fish or same length as stubby short boar?
For me somewhere in between. Fish are like 5-8 to 5-10. SB are 6-1 to 6-3. DC is 5-11. It feels just about perfect, like my feet are always in the right spot. I wouldn't want to go any shorter because it does have some rocker. To me the DC feels most like a stubby 6-0 Stamps GX I had like 5+ years ago.

this thing would be so sick with a tribal tat lam wrap around the board
tribal goth new trend for 2023

Brois, i about had a panic attack in Real today. Too much temptation, but walked out with just a dope creatures travel bag.

Pyzel wildcat-- did not like based off internet looks, but sessy af in person
Xtr 10 cole diamond twins, looked and felt dope.
Christensen osprey-- ohhhh la la
The surfetch aipa wrecking balls felt and looked surprisingly good and tempting
Roger hinds twin--- if I won that contest a month or 2 ago, 100% would be my choice of any board in store.
Micks ttape and rawson b2 looked mighty fun too.
