Not sure if you're being sarc but they don't suck. I've seen Marcio himself give a few of them compliments.
Outside of shaping to get big, there are life choices as well as business and politics. Marcio is a master at shaping and business. Shaping more than business but his business sense helped a lot. If it was the other way around, he'd be rich and surfing all the time instead inhaling dust and fumes. That is what he'd say. That is what they all say.

What's the sweet spot wave size for this board? At some point I need to replace my I72 and figure maybe throw one of these on the order for shits and giggles.
I’ve only had mine out once (very positive first impression) so I’ll let others weigh in on range. It is a really interesting board in a good way.
Both the boards below are 5’10 19.875. The DC carries more width through the nose and definitely looks like hybrid to the eye. Their website says it has a flat entry and flat exit rocker. I guess everything is relative to your baseline, but it’s got more rocker than I’ve ever seen in this type of board. The Stretch Skate is what I’d call a low rocker “short board”. The DC has a full inch more at the tip of the nose and half an inch more at the tail. The outline/rocker comBo seems to work. But not what I was expecting from their website.

Thigh to head high, I guess. Maybe bigger if it's mushy and smaller if it's shapely. To me it basically slots in between a full on groveler and a HPSB with a bit of overlap at each end. Feels like a pretty seamless transition between it and the i72. It surfs very similarly just with more glide and spark in weaker/smaller surf.
It doesn't grovel quite as well as something like a Puddle Jumper or Fling but running it as a twin trailer it's got a pretty decent low end and it performs better than the super grovelers when a good section presents itself.
Nice, just sold an old Uber Driver that can justify the purchase. I've had a Disco Inferno blem that I scored for very cheap. Volume was a touch smaller than usual so I I've had it sitting for half a year. Finally surfed it today and was pretty stoked on it. Will need to surf it a bit more to say for sure but I think I might even like it more than the I72. Feels a little more neutral and less twitchy than the I72. I72 is great but sometimes I feel like it wants a flatter wave or it feels out of control. Switching from Merrick Large to Fanning larges helped somewhat.
Fondled a Synergy today in the surf shop. Board looks deadly. The 6'0 is 19.13 x 2.5 and 29.8L if I'm not mistaken.
Disco Cheater has tied the RNF96 on the list for best board of the last 5 years. If you’re in the market xtr $100 off right now with 100SMR code
The new quad version of the Inferno 72 is finally out. All big guys, and anyone who isn't in solid surfing shape, is sol

Ogled an E2 epoxy Twin Turbo when killing time at Surf Ride today. Looks spicy:
Watch Marcio Zouvi talk story and be super interesting while Dan Prodan struggles to form a coherent shaping-based question:
Marcio had some good design detail about what went into making Flippy's quad. Good stuff!
I really like marcio
I really need to get a sharpeye some day

Great interview. Always nice seeing what my ex-shaper is up to.
Crossposting from YOLO alerts. Brand new Sharp Eye Synergy ripped OTR. 6'1 x 19.25 x 2.55, 30.1L.
