Been told they're exactly the same. According to the salesman I talked to the 2013 8'10 mana was the first of the new designed manas, then when they bought out the rest of the new mana range they left the 8"10 alone and reshaped all the other manas along the same lines. Not sure if that's correct or not but I'm sure he was genuine in his opinion and he is a very well informed salesman.

STC, the 8'5 x 30" Mana is the new model @ 132 Litres. If you dont want the width of the new 8'3 X32 (130L), the 8'5 Mana is the ticket.
The 8'5 is a step up in performance on the 8'10.

Thanks Mick and AA.... I discovered what you had explained....
they came in to my dealer. I drove down today, to pick between the 9'5 and the 8'10
I had not seen the replies because I left before they were posted.
I put the 13 and 14 - 8'10 side by side and did not see the changes I had read about in the 8'5... I just expected they went through the entire line.
I tried the 2013 8'10 last year and it didn't offer me anything new...

Winsup... you are exactly right.... I have a few challenging boards already... this board is to fill in on small soft days. The 8'5 would be too much work.

so I picked up the 2014 9'5
waves were on... so I jumped right in the water.
I LOVED the new 9'5.... it goes on a rail much better than the 2013 9'5 that I had.
I found myself getting much more lip time and snapbacks we're great for a big board.

Awesome to get good waves when you buy a new board

I gotta say... this new 9'5 just might be selected for much better waves than I originally planned.... it is super fun

Chur "SUP BRO" here...

The 2013 is exactly the same as 2014....its rips though. i love it. At 133 litres the rails are sweet. Responsive as!!!!!
