No-paddle takeoffs, buttery floaters. The Sweet Potato is probably the widest, flattest, thickest small wave surfboard you will ever surf.

It's the board that should never leave your trunk.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e***\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cimg height=\"126\" width=\"115\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/4083\/5658\/files\/HELIUM_BLK_599a6c59-97a2-4491-a8fb-204b33ec707f_100x100.png?v=1706813942\" alt=\"Helium Technology\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHelium Core Technology\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eOur best-selling technology, with a new updated look.
