The SP dramatically changes the ratio between the length and width of a board while still allowing the design to perform at a very high level.

 

Designer Dan Mann explains, "The aggressive bottom contour creates considerable lift and the deep double concave with a 'spine' down the middle divide the board in half isolating the fins, rocker and bottom on one side of the board at a time. This allows the board to get on a rail quickly.

 

The Sweet Potato is the board you should always bring on a surf check, and you'll find yourself ripping on small days when you'd otherwise go home".

"Every one should have a go on one of these, especially if you surf in south west England! I surfed a 36L 5'6" (my normal shortboard is 26L) and was blown away by the speed and maneouverability of it. Because of it's flat rocker and high volume, it will paddle into anything, and you start selecting waves like you're on a longboard.

 

What's clever is underneath; its exagerated double concave with a pronounced spine helps shoot you through the water as well as tipping the board onto one set of fins and rail. It subsequently feels like you're turning a board half as wide. Having a quad set up gives you heaps of drive, but because the fins are pushed right out to the rail, it will pivot on a dime. Perfect groveller for English waves."
