How It Surfs
The Sweet Potato is designed to maximize speed in smaller, weaker surf. Its extremely wide planing surface generates instant acceleration, while the compact Tomo-inspired outline keeps the board surprisingly loose and responsive. The generous volume provides exceptional paddle power and easy wave entry, while the 5-fin configuration allows you to ride it as either a fast, skatey quad or a more controlled thruster depending on conditions.
Ideal Conditions & Skill Level
The Sweet Potato shines in knee-high to head-high waves where generating speed is the priority. The large 57.1-liter volume makes this size particularly well-suited for larger surfers, beginners, or intermediate riders looking to maximize wave count while still enjoying lively performance once on their feet.
