Potatonator

[Chris]

As the name implies, the POTATO-NATOR is the result of gene-splicing the SWEET POTATO and the DOMINATOR. With a longer rail line and less girth than the POTATO, and a slightly pulled in nose similar to the DOMINATOR, the POTATO-NATOR is meant to be ridden 4”-6” longer than a POTATO, and approx. 2” shorter than the DM. The double concaves are softer than the SWEET POTATO and while the overall rocker has been increased slightly to enhanced performance, the low entry rocker remains which makes paddling a breeze. Designed primarily for 2’-4’ surf, the POTATO-NATOR will hold its own in 3’-5’ as well. Fin placement is optimized to be ridden as a quad, but don’t be afraid to throw in a small, knubby trailer fin to help this hybrid 4-finner come alive in new ways. Splice and dice it up!

It is a great clip. Makes me want one haha.
On the bottom end of the scale, does the Sweet Potato have a clear advantage over the Potatonator. Talking waist to chest, weak surf or waist high steep runners. Those will be the predominant conditions I'd be using the board in. I think I like the idea of the Sweet Potato more, but the PN looks like a very attractive board.

[Chris]

I rode the potatonator in chest high Swamis and felt the tail fight me when getting out on the open face. Its still wide. It will be a board I ride predominantly in small surf, stomach high and down. That being said, it does handle the upper end better than the potato, but for competent surfers, it can be groveled very easily in knee high waves.

Do you see it replacing your SP?
