rode a DC once but it was way too big for me so i can't really give a fair review
I'm most likely going to order a stoke 5'11 x 19.25 x 2.5 29.15L #77 in Varial to sit between my 5'8 Stamps Flare and my 6'0 Ghost to see what all the hype is about.
I do think it's funny that every bort listed on their site says " _____ from SharpEye Surfboards delivers the world's fastest surfboard..." and they use the French spelling for "manoevres".

Sharpeye's off the rack glassing is very good. I've only had issues with the custom team light glassed boards my son was getting. He'd split the deck along the stringer so on the last couple of customs I added my own deck patch as soon as the boards arrived to prevent the issue.
I picked up a regular Disco last summer and tried a bunch of different sets of fins in it and wasn't really happy until I put a set of the cheap plasticy FCS Carvers in Large.
I should try this. Had the same set of fcs performers or whateverthefuck fcs calls the okay at everything fin since day 1.
Sometimes a more flexible fin feels better in a board than the latest greatest carbon fiber.
noticed this at a spot that has a looong slopey section IF you can even connect the outside to inside. more wiggle on the big flat spots where you don't have as much speed
Agreed, but I'm not a fan of floppy fins either.
Fiberglass fins feel the best to me. Aircore (or whatever they are) are a close second.
Stiffer fins are fine if they are exclusively used as front fins, with a flexier center fin.
I've had about 10 sessions on mine, love it! Good glide, holds a rail, spicy. I will say it's not as easy to ride as my RNF (R.I.P.).
At first I was using the MF 2+1 which felt okay albeit a bit stiff. Switched to BMTs twins, board went faster but the release was a bit unpredictable. Then I put MR 2+1 in it and they feel perfect.
I put an order in for a cheat code today as a belated bday present to myself after really enjoying both the Inferno FT and the TT. Some day I'm gonna man up and get a Synergy too haha
TT 5'10 x 20.5 x 2.63 33.9l
CC 5'10 x 19.88 x 2.63 32.9l
Shortboards 6'0 x 19.5 x 2.5 32l
Me 6'2 probably 195
TT a bit wider than I would order it got it second hand for cheap
My buddy just sent me a few short clips on what must have been the first session on the TT. I think this is the first time I'm seeing myself in motion, crazy how the footage exposes flaws in your technique (lead arm never rotates far enough on cutbacks, facial expression like i got diarrhea etc)). Sold the board since, at the XL dims it always felt a bit wide.
What coastline are we looking at here? East Coast? West Coast? Nova Scotia?
