I know the 2014 line-up is different, but besides the graphics and pad designs. Is there any difference, year to year, in the previous Manas? The shape looks exactly the same for 3,4,5 years except for 2014.

The 9'5 and 10'0 Mana 2014's are all new boards - wider, more pulled in nose and tail and slightly thinner rails with a reworked (reduced) rocker. Translates into equal stability with more surfability compared to previous Mana's - and looks somewhat sexier - so all-round improvement.

The new 2014 Mana's are awesome and very different to the older ones.. Besides being faster and more stable they have a much improved handle that's now in the centre of the board.. The new deck pad is also much better.
