There´s a 6'5 beauty here where I live. Does anyone have one, so I´d know what to expect? Or know someone who does? Or know someone who knows someone who does????

Are Sharp eye surfboards good?

They have a good reputation, I know that. I am sure they are top quality boards, on par with Rustys and CI's.
Sharpeyes are really good. I had a 6'3" that was the best board I had ever ridden, from ankle high slop to head n a half. Check and see if it is made by Marcio Zouvi, he is the main shaper I think.

Yes, in Brazil. Acctually It´s a machine made board that´s hand finished and glassed over here (in Brazil).
The thing is, they use top materials (same as CI´s, etc...), all imported, witch is the big difference in terms of overall quality comparing to a standart brazilian board (cheaper, lighter and a bit more fragile).
On the other hand brazilian shapers are so good that it would be stupid not to have a board made by one of them, since they know pretty well the waves around here. Hence the Sharp eyes "shaped" by Marcio. And the 6'5 looks sooo good...
One other important factor is that I sometimes travel to surf in central / south america and it´s an oportunitty to sell my used boards for a little more U$ before coming back home.

Thanks for the replies. I won't buy the 6`5, I'll have one custom made (I talked to the distributor). It's gonna be a 6'4 - 19 - 2 5/8, squash tail. I'm 5`11 and 170 lbs.
