The SG-1 from Sharpeye Surfboards is a high-caliber step-up model built to deliver Controlled Performance in Serious Conditions. Developed in collaboration with world-class athletes—including Filipe Toledo, Jack Robinson, and Morgan Cibilic—the SG-1 is the board of choice when the waves get powerful, the stakes get higher, and absolute control becomes essential.
At the heart of the SG-1 is a continuous full entry and exit rocker, which provides smooth transitions and reliable performance in steep, hollow waves. The board features sensitive low rails that offer unmatched bite and hold, essential for pushing hard through drawn-out carves or late drops. The reverse vee to deep double concave bottom contour adds to the board’s unique feel, giving it drive and grip while maintaining maneuverability in powerful surf. Engineered specifically for critical conditions, the SG-1 is recommended for expert surfers only who are comfortable navigating serious lineups.
Pros:
Elite-level control and hold in large, powerful surf.
Low rails and refined rocker allow precise, committed maneuvers.
Proven at the highest level by multiple CT competitors.
Reverse vee to double concave keeps the board maneuverable even when conditions demand control.
Cons:
Requires expert-level ability—not suited for intermediate or recreational surfers.
Underperforms in smaller surf, where a flatter, more forgiving board is preferable.
Summary:
The Sharpeye SG-1 is a performance step-up engineered for expert surfers tackling serious waves. With its ultra-refined rocker, low rails, and advanced bottom contours, it delivers the stability, bite, and responsiveness required to perform in heavy conditions.
