- Hey everyone, welcome back to the channel! Today, I'm excited to share an in-depth review of my personal surfboard, the Sharpeye Inferno 72. As someone who is 6'1" and 185 lbs, finding the perfect board can be a challenge, but this one feels just right.
Its a little more volume than i usually ride but i didn't seem to notice the extra foam as the tail of the board felt super loose and snappy.
My Sharpeye Inferno 72 is 5'10" long, 19.26" wide, and 2.61" thick, with a volume of 30.44 liters.
This board excels in wave with some speed. Chest-head high was the ideal zone. It was fast and loose.
Like Jake said the board "not carrying speed to much" - I found you have to surf it off the tail using the thruster setup more. It's not like a Pyzel that you can draw speed off your front foot and press forward to keep momentum through flat sections or to keep up with running wave. It made me surf off the tail more and do better wraps that accelerate from back foot pressure. But unlike a Pyzel that excels with forward weight in late takeoffs and drawing off forward weighting for speed it would slip or not track with forward weight. Any surfer who's heavily backfooted will think this things a dream. Any neutral or forward footed surfer will need to adjust. It's hard to grovel with because you cannot use the forward part of board to bump and pump for speed without losing traction. Wraps with heavy tail pressure and peaky shoulders with some speed that don't run too fast, this boards a dream.
Awesome reply, thanks
How this board comper to shadow xl.who you like better in head pluse🎉
the shadow i rode in hawaii definitely had hold in bigger waves head high+ although to me it felt a little dead if the waves were even the slightest bit mushy.
The inferno feels more snappy and lively than the shadow, but when it becomes powerful, its hard to slow the inferno down for critical turns in barreling waves
@@jakewetzel3186 Hey Jake, sick surfing
How would you compare it to the red tiger? You said a lot the inferno 72 needs a bowly wave whereas Ive heard the red tiger prefers less sloped waves. Would you agree and do you know any other differences between the two?
I just got a shadow and haven't tried it yet. I've ridden a lot of Pyzels and like their forward bias. You can draw off your front foot and forward weighting. I'm neutral to forward foot biased so the Inferno was a rude awakening. It made me use my back foot more and do better tight wraps with speed. I got better using it but it's very much a backfooted surfers dream. Like Jake said its snappy or really squirrely or lively. But also when waves get round or fast or you have to make sections it's kind of gets tricky to ride.
