Sharp Eye Surfboards: The Choice of Champions and the Ultimate in Performance
Welcome to the pinnacle of surfboard design. Sharp Eye Surfboards isn’t just a brand; it’s a commitment to “Zero Compromise” performance, precision, and the relentless pursuit of progression. Founded in 1992 by master shaper Marcio Zouvi, Sharp Eye has evolved from a grassroots San Diego operation into a global force, ridden by the world’s most elite surfers on the biggest stages.
Crafted by a Master, Proven by the Best
With over three decades of shaping experience, Marcio Zouvi has dedicated his life to refining high-performance shortboards. Drawing inspiration from shaping legends, Marcio has forged a unique path, blending innovative design with an unwavering focus on speed, responsiveness, and control. This dedication to craftsmanship is why World Champions and surfing icons like Filipe Toledo and Jack Robinson, along with a roster of elite pros including Kanoa Igarashi, Johanne Defay, and Tatiana Weston-Webb, trust Sharp Eye to perform when it matters most.
When you ride a Sharp Eye, you’re not just riding a surfboard; you’re riding a piece of equipment that has been tested, refined, and proven in the most demanding conditions imaginable.
Find Your Perfect Board: Models for Every Wave
Sharp Eye offers a diverse range of models, each meticulously designed to excel in specific conditions and for different styles of surfing. Here at Southern Man, we are proud to stock the models that Australian surfers demand, including:
- The Inferno 72: The board that needs no introduction. Originally designed for Filipe Toledo and the winner of the prestigious Stab in the Dark competition, the Inferno 72 is the ultimate all-around performance shortboard. A tuned-up version of the beloved Disco Inferno, it features slightly more rocker for enhanced maneuverability and hold through powerful turns. It generates incredible speed and feels electric under your feet in small to medium waves, making it the perfect daily driver for the progressive surfer.
- The Storms: The signature model of Olympian Kanoa Igarashi, the Storms is your go-to board for making average days epic. Based on the Disco Inferno, it features a wider nose and a unique bump squash tail, allowing for explosive, tight turns in the pocket. The volume is pushed forward, giving it exceptional paddle power and glide through flat sections, ensuring you can connect sections and maximize your wave count without sacrificing performance.
- The #77: Filipe Toledo’s World Title-winning board, the #77 is a pure high-performance machine built for good, powerful waves. If you surf in punchy beach breaks or quality point breaks, this board provides the drive, control, and responsiveness you need to perform at your absolute best. It’s the board of choice for those who want to surf like the pros.
