Dan Mann's high performance groveler.
Think small wave grovel, fast and fun. No-paddle takeoffs, buttery floaters. The Sweet Potato is probably the widest, flattest, thickest small wave surfboard you will ever surf. It's high performance but it's definitely a groveler, this shape is the absolute most fun you can have in really bad waves. It's the board that should never leave your trunk.
This is the updated Sweet Potato, refined with a swallowtail - the latest iteration of Mannkine's small wave shape that transformed what surfing is for many. It converts waves that would normally require a longboard (if even) into rippable potential and fun because of the generous volume packed into a small package that is loose and generates tons of drive. The trademark deep double barrel concave essentially splits the board in half when tipped over and driving through turns, making the board feel way more narrow than it actually is. The new tail outline, combined with some tweaks on the bottom contours through the fins, has increased the maneuverability for tighter pocket turns without taking away the projection and grovel speed in gutless surf.

I love my Sweet
"I love my Sweet Potato in 1-2 foot surf. . . . small wave slayer loads of fun. It is a board for when you would reach for a longboard or not surf. Keep it in the trunk and surf the junk! It is so much fun I actually look forward to the small days now!"
This board is so
"This board is so much fun! I ride it more often than I expected. Sized up a couple inches to a 5‚Äô6 after listening to a bunch of reviews & has proved a master stroke for versatility. Get in early & go fast, winningüëå"
Had the board for
"Had the board for one week and love it. Great to get onto waves early and handles speed and turns with class. Want extra paddle speed this board has it. Added to the my mashup which are two such different boards and love them both."
Im an intermediate/advanced overweight
"I'm an intermediate/advanced overweight surfer. I've had this board for 3-4 weeks now and surfed it in various conditions from waist high junky/messy waves to bigger wind affected waves and this morning some nice head high clean waves, and it performs well in all conditions, easy paddle on is the main thing, and nice and fast once you are up."
Great board for east
"Great board for east coast Oz when conditions aren’t all there. Gets you out in almost anything, and also punches above its weight too. It’s a must have for the quiver."
