The Disco and the Disco Cheater by SharpEye surfboards are both very fast and fun in small waves. These two models are a collaboration with Surftech on a new construction called Fusion E2. They have a stringless EPS foam core with an exclusive Carbon Fiber band for Surftech only. The Carbon on the deck and the bottom of the board act as the spine and strength of the board and that is not uncommon this day in age. What makes this Carbon on the deck unique is the 2mm gap that runs down the middle of the Carbon band that allows the EPS foam to work as a dampener to reduce vibration or chatter. In this review I talk about the pros and cons of EPS and PU foam cores and how this board and construction felt under my feet. Both the Disco and the Disco Cheater were a blast and performed very well in 2-4'+ surf but the Disco Cheater stole the show due to its versatility in 1-4' surf. The Disco Cheater is one of my favorites for 2017 for the 1-3' Groveler category.

KOSTAS GOULAS - 5 years ago

Hi Noel! can I use the disco cheater as an one quiver board? I am based in Greece so I ride smaller waves but I started to travel last year in Bali and I am going to go for a surf trip abroad once a year. What's the most appropriate size for me? I am 170 62kg very low intermidiate level

KOSTAS GOULAS - 5 years ago

@Surf n Show Reviews many thanks! Take care Noel!!!

Surf n Show Reviews - 5 years ago

KOSTAS GOULAS I would say roughly 25-26 liters...

KOSTAS GOULAS - 5 years ago

@Surf n Show Reviewswhat size would u recommend anyway. Thank u for the reply Noel. You give great information

Surf n Show Reviews - 5 years ago

KOSTAS GOULAS The Disco Cheater is such a fun board... I would say it’s good for 1-4’ surf. I don’t think it can hold in 5-6’ surf

Hi Noel,

Great reviews, what would you prefer to ride in under 3 feet surf? the Modern 2 or the Disco Cheater? Also what fin combination would you recommend?

Surf n Show Reviews - 6 years ago

Ashley Kidd Haydenshapes Holy Grail in Future Flex.

Ashley Kidd - 6 years ago

Thanks for the prompt reply, What do you think the best surfboard you have ever ridden for under three feet surf? Also i would love it if you could review the Tomo Evo in Helium its probably the best board I've ridden. Keep up the good work..!

This disco cheater has caught my eye now, what would you pick out of the disco cheater in eps or a sampler in spinetek for 1-3ft? Where would one of them excel over the other?

elb2018 - 6 years ago

Surf n Show Reviews sweet thanks heaps for the quick and detailed reply, legend!!

Surf n Show Reviews - 6 years ago

elb2018 Both boards are EPIC!!! The Disco Cheater will paddle better and it has more rocker so it will perform better in the pocket. The Sampler will have a bit more down the line speed and project better down the line. The Disco Cheater is easier to surf and volume in the front half of the board really makes catching waves easy and the sweet spot on this board is easy to find. I say Disco Cheater 1-3’ surf is a good call in the EPS Fusion E2.

Thoughts on the FireWire almond butter?

Surf n Show Reviews - 6 years ago

kelton castillo Looks like a really fun and versatile board. I have not ridden one though. Cheers!

Miguel Marquina - 6 years ago

I have noticed that you have a good board to wave ratio and the end result is good flow in your surfing at the end of your review

Surf n Show Reviews - 6 years ago

Miguel Marquina Cheers... flow is very important to me. Connecting with a board for speed is one thing but getting speed and flow together is what I am looking for...

Miguel Marquina - 6 years ago

Great review

Bobby - 6 years ago

Noel they should have put your footage before Filipe's, you shred harder!! :-D https://vimeo.com/248242430

p.s. another great review! Happy New Year!

Caio Husadel - 6 years ago

Nice Review Noel. Have you ever tried a pinched rail on an EPS on bigger waves? For me it helps to engage the rails. And a stronger lamination helps on the weight as well... have you ever tried?

Surf n Show Reviews - 6 years ago

Caio Husadel So Sick... thanks for your loyalty and I will check out your Insta page!!!

Caio Husadel - 6 years ago

Surf n Show Reviews Cool Noel! I was pro longboarder, and aways hate EPS. Since I tried to make it a little bit heavier and stronger I have just been riding only EPS. Now I'm also a shaper (check it up on instagram @HusadelSurfDesigns ), so I had this same feeling on the rails ounce the power of the wave increase... So I pinched the rails and reduce this feel of missing control on the rail. Thanks for the review man. I've been falling your reviews since "Surf Show n Tell"...

Surf n Show Reviews - 6 years ago

Caio Husadel I have not tried that yet but I have talked to a few pros that say making the EPS a little heavier for bigger waves will take away the chatter or vibration. I have not heard about pinching the rails for more traction but it makes sense. Maybe I will do a review on something like this. I know Peter Mel rides EPS guns chasing giant waves..... one of my friends makes his boards.

Thomas V. - 6 years ago

Awesome stuff as always!

bodhi tree - 6 years ago

You gotta eyeball the DHD 3DV and the JS Air 17X. Your reviews have put the Sampler and monsta box in my quiver. The Driver is looking to be good contender to fill my rack.

Surf n Show Reviews - 6 years ago

bodhi tree So stoked you like our show. The Sampler and Monsta Box are epic and I am glad to hear they are going good for you!!! The Driver is mental and you will love that one too!!! Cheers
