The Modern 2.5 from Sharpeye Surfboards is a lively, versatile board that blends Everyday Alternate Performancewith user-friendly fun, making it an ideal choice for summer sessions and laid-back conditions. Designed to deliver the world’s fastest surfboard feel in everyday waves, the Modern 2.5 adds an energetic spark to the typical daily driver.

Built with a flat entry and exit rocker, the Modern 2.5 generates instant speed and glide, allowing for fast acceleration down the line. The double concave bonzer-style bottom enhances water flow and boosts drive, while boxy, catch-resistant rails increase forgiveness, especially during tighter maneuvers or in softer sections. Its adaptable fin setup—ridable as a two-plus-one, thruster, or quad—adds another layer of versatility, letting surfers fine-tune the feel based on preference and wave type.

Pros:

  • Fast and responsive, even in soft or gutless waves.

  • Flat rocker and double concave deliver effortless speed and drive.

  • Forgiving rails make it approachable for a wide range of surfers.

  • Highly versatile fin setup for multiple performance options.

  • Great addition to a summer quiver focused on fun and flow.

Cons:

  • Not built for powerful or steep waves—better suited for playful conditions.

  • Less performance-oriented than high-performance shortboards in critical surf.

Summary:

The Sharpeye Modern 2.5 is a fast, forgiving, and fun board that brings alternate-style performance to everyday conditions. Whether you're cruising on summer beach breaks or looking to mix up your quiver with a more playful shape, the Modern 2.5 is an excellent option. With multiple fin configurations and a lively feel underfoot, it’s the kind of board that makes average sessions memorable—and keeps you stoked between swells.
