The Disco is Sharp Eye's easy-entry performance shortboard. The brand lists a full entry rocker running into a flattened exit, a medium single concave feeding a deep double between the fins, and controlled medium rails, all aimed at everyday surf rather than pro-level conditions.

Quick specs

Type: Entry-level all-round performance shortboard
Shaper: Marcio Zouvi, Sharp Eye Surfboards
Outline: Performance range shortboard
Bottom contour: Medium single to deep double concave to flat exit
Rocker: Full entry rocker flowing into a flattened exit
Rail: Controlled medium rail

Sharp Eye describes the Disco as delivering entry-level all-round performance in everyday conditions. The wording matters, because Sharp Eye's catalogue is otherwise dominated by boards built around contest surfing. The Disco is the model the brand points less experienced surfers towards when they still want a shortboard outline.

The shape detail published on the product page is specific. A full entry rocker blends into a flattened exit, and the bottom runs a medium single concave into a deep double between the fins before flattening out. Sharp Eye says this combination provides an instant burst of speed from take-off while keeping the board manoeuvrable. If you are comparing options, the wider shortboard index on Surfex covers similar all-round shapes.

Pros & cons

Full entry rocker makes late take-offs and softer sections more forgiving
Deep double concave between the fins gives an early burst of speed off the bottom
Medium rail keeps the board controllable for surfers stepping up from a hybrid
Priced below most performance shortboards from the same tier of brands

Sharp Eye positions it as entry-level performance, so advanced surfers in good waves will prefer the Inferno 72
The flat exit rocker favours smaller and average surf over steep, hollow waves
Sharp Eye's own store lists a single stock price with no published volume ladder

How it surfs

Reviewer coverage of the Disco family clusters around the same theme: it is fast and easy in average waves. Noel Salas covered the Disco and Disco Cheater together for Surftech, and Surf Station has published its own shop review of the model, which is a useful cross-check on how the shape is sold in the United States.

Sizing is the one area where the official page gives little away. Sharp Eye lists the Disco as a made-to-order model at $760 USD without publishing a stock volume ladder, so ordering to your usual shortboard volume is the practical approach. The Surfex volume calculator gives a starting number if you are unsure.

Volume & sizing chart

Use the chart below as a starting point. Add half a litre if you are less experienced, subtract half a litre for a looser feel.

Size	Volume	Rider weight	Best for
5'6"–5'8"	Order to shortboard volume	Under 68 kg	Intermediate
5'9"–5'11"	Order to shortboard volume	68–80 kg	Intermediate
6'0"–6'2"	Order to shortboard volume	80–92 kg	Intermediate

How it compares

Board	Best at	Wave range	Aggregate score
Channel Islands Happy Everyday	Everyday shortboard with more tail lift	Knee to head-high	9.1
Pyzel Gremlin	Step-down for weaker surf	1 to 6 ft	8.8

Recommended fin setups

FCS II Filipe Toledo PC — Named by Sharp Eye as a recommended template for this model.
Futures F8 — Second recommended option in Sharp Eye's own fin guidance.

Verdict

The Disco is the Sharp Eye for surfers who are not on a contest schedule. Official shape data backs the easy-entry rocker and speed-focused concaves, and at $760 USD from the brand it undercuts most performance shortboards from comparable labels.
