Spring is finally here! After a fantastic winter of great surf, we're excited for some much-needed sunshine. With earlier mornings and longer evenings ahead, it's only a few months until we'll be back in summer wetsuits, enjoying after-work surfs. As much as we love the warmer days, they often bring smaller swell, so now's the perfect time to get your quiver ready. Here are some of our top picks:
Sharp Eye cheat code
The Cheat Code from SharpEye Surfboards is a high-performance small wave shortboard, designed to deliver maximum speed and responsiveness in weaker surf. Engineered for intermediate to advanced surfers, this board features a forgiving boxy rail to minimize rail catches in flat or sub-par conditions. Its medium single concave transitions into a flat exit, working seamlessly with the low entry and exit rocker to generate instant speed, drive, and control from take-off. With added volume for extra paddle power, the Cheat Code is the ultimate weapon for making the most of smaller waves without sacrificing performance.

A balanced foil, pinched rails, and subtle bottom contours enhance stability, drive, and smooth rail-to-rail transitions. It’s loose yet controllable, embodying the classic fish feel. Recommended fin setups include a twin plus trailer, quad, or thruster, depending on wave conditions and preferred performance style. Wax it up and go shred!
