You do you. But if XTR is still running their 100 bucks off code, they turned around my DC in barely 4 weeks last year

Still had a shreddy good time on my I72 in Hawaii last week. Boar is great.
i picked up the PU thruster. Gonna throw in some futures P8s to start
No. 5 boxes is a waste and the glass jobs Sharpeye puts on stock boards is good to go.
This thing felt amazing today. Hadnt ridden the disco cheater since i got the og disco a couple months ago but today i took it out in some fun chest high runners and had a blast. First time trying the H4 fins and thought they might be a little stiff but it wasnt the case. Lots of drive and hold but they didnt feel sticky or tracky or anything. DC is a board that feels easy to surf well on, even when the waves arent firing.
I sold my I72 after a few frustrating sessions on it. I think it might be too HP for the softer reefs I surf. The deep concave under the fins also didnt feel that great on some of the bigger days. The board would go great in 3-5ft steeper surf, but so do a lot of my other boards. Maybe Ive just forgotten how to ride a HPSB.
Have you been made aware that those H4's are Swiss engineered?
Hah. Yeah I think havoc might have mentioned it once or twice.
I bonked them pretty good on a boulder paddling back out after a small one and the damage was minimal. Only Swiss engineered fins for me from now on.
I'm 6'3" x 185lbs
Disco is 5-11 x 19.75 x 2.6 33L
Feels about right. I wouldn't want it shorter.
Not terribly surprised to see. More of a specialized boar for the cbad area. Couple breaks come to mind but I usually surf when crowded and have all but given up on hpsb’s aside from mid-day mid-week sessions.
I could see the disco cheater much more interesting but there is a reason you see so many peeps on fish in NCSD.
I had a 5'10 DC in the E2 tech for a few weeks. It felt good, but it still didnt have the low end I was looking for. Flat rocker twin fins / fish are almost always more fun where I surf.
TBH this 5-11 DC feels pretty similar to a 6-0 GX I had. I actually feel some similarities between a couple of the Sharpeyes and Stamps that I have. The Habenero and I72 have a similar balance and vibe, for example. When I got my i72 it instantly reminded me of the Hab. Just that feeling like you are riding on a bubble of energy and the board is ready to react with the slightest input.
I think the DC is a little more fishy up front compared to a GX. I don't have a GX at the moment to compare but I think the DC has slightly lower and smoother rocker overall and no hip. It's a little easier to surf for that reason. I don't think it has any more low end than the GX because the tail is fairly narrow and thin but it just has a little more glide, perhaps.
ode to my GX hp-dd crush. gx def has the stamps nose and tail rocker flips in the last 3".
is the nose on the DC ~13" @ 12" in the nose and ~14.75" @12" in the tail?
