The Storms from Sharpeye Surfboards is a finely tuned performance shortboard designed to bring Increased Everyday Performance to small and medium surf. As a versatile alternative to the Inferno 72, the Storms blends speed, control, and maneuverability into a user-friendly platform that excels in average conditions without compromising high-performance potential.
Built around a performance-driven outline with a bump squash tail, the Storms features medium rails that offer a stable yet responsive feel underfoot. The medium single concave transitions into a deep double concave between the fins, generating instant speed and enhanced lift through turns. A medium entry and exit rocker adds to the board’s dynamic responsiveness, creating a setup that bursts with drive from take-off while remaining highly maneuverable and predictable throughout the wave.
Pros:
Versatile daily driver that excels in small to medium conditions.
Balanced rocker and concave combo offer immediate speed and fluid rail-to-rail transitions.
Medium rails and bump squash tail enhance both control and sharp directional changes.
Ideal bridge between grovelers and full high-performance shortboards.
Cons:
May lack bite in powerful or overhead surf, where a more refined step-up is needed.
Not as forgiving for newer surfers compared to hybrid or fuller templates.
Summary:
The Sharpeye Storms strikes an ideal balance between control and explosiveness, making it an excellent choice for everyday conditions in the 2–5 ft range. With a lively rocker profile, precision contours, and a versatile outline, the Storms delivers high-performance surfing without requiring perfect waves. For intermediate to advanced surfers looking to push their surfing in everyday sessions, the Storms is a standout daily performer in the Sharpeye lineup.
