GOAT mentorship? 👀 Master shaper, Coronado native, and lifelong surfer, Dan Mann, joins Dave Prodan on The Lineup to pull back the curtain on a career that has taken him from shaping his first boards in the 1990s to working alongside Kelly Slater, Firewire and Slater Designs on some of the most refined high-performance surfboards in the world. Dan talks about his current Mannkine and Firewire projects, the possibility of helping develop the next generation of CT surfers, and how “not thinking as much” is his next state of happiness. Listen to the latest episode with Dan Mann on The Lineup with Dave Prodan wherever you get your podcasts. 11 Aug 2026

I was super stoked to get @dan__mann in the studio. Dan Mann makes surfboards for some of the best surfers on the planet; and for us normal humans. Dan has been shaping boards for over 30 years and in the last year he’s been showcased through a number of surf programs that highlight the best and most celebrated surfers riding boards that have been made for them by the most accomplished board builders, but under the veil of anonymity. In the last two of these stealth @stab In The Dark contests, the only two he’s been in, Dan has made it to the podium. He’s won one and got second in the other; against the best and most recognized shapers in the game. Not a fluke. The two surfers? One happened to be the GOAT, 11 time world champion, Kelly Slater and the other is Australian super style master Ethan Ewing; with some of the best surfing I’ve ever seen. With more than 15,000 hand-shaped boards under his own label @mannkine and tens of thousands more built from his designs as part of @firewiresurfboards Dan has quietly become one of the most influential board designers of the modern era. And he’s as passionate about shaping today as he’s ever been. But this conversation is about much more than surfboards. I’ve known Dan since the 1990s, and he’s always done things his own way. He’s an exceptional surfer (who, believe it or not, only rides frontside… aka switch stance), a world-class prone paddler and Catalina Classic @catalinaclassicpaddleboardrace winner, and the founder of The Loop Race @thelooppaddlerace which is one of Southern California’s iconic paddleboard races in San Diego. Dan has an authentic and passionate way of seeing the world and when you hear about the mentors and icons he’s spent time with, you start to understand where some of it comes from. Dan shares the stories and lessons he’s picked up along the way which go far beyond surfing. This is a conversation about craftsmanship, competition, creativity, the ocean, finding your own “seam,” and ultimately it’s Dan’s full story… which is way bigger than surf.

What happens when the surfer and shaper compare board notes? @sebastianwilliams1 @dan__mann Many surfers can tell you what a board feels like, but very few can explain why.

In today’s show board builder @dan__mann shares his very different experience with Stab In The Dark X than what we all viewed, whether he thinks Kelly knew, and details his multifaceted work history long before his association with Firewire, how Velzy and Eaton sparked his passion for alternative constructions, the tribulations and virtues of owning a glass shop, his tireless pursuit to extend the freshness of a new board, and the ineffable value embedded in a custom surfboard. Enjoy Part One of Two with Dan Mann available on all podcast platforms and YouTube 🎤🎧🕺🏻 @david_lee_scales 📷 @elsagirault_photography @dustydarkroom Presented by: @realwatersports @vaeradventure @surfrider 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 11 Jun 2026

@dan__mann had a take on this that I didn't expect. His read on whether Kelly actually knew which board he was riding comes down to understanding who Kelly is as a competitor. Comment POD for the full podcast episode! 🏄🏻‍♂️🏄🏻‍♀️ Stab in the Dark X winner and the shaper behind Kelly Slater's boards, Dan Mann joins the Basis Surf podcast. We get into whether Kelly actually knew which board was his during the event, what Dane Reynolds and Zeke Lau noticed when he was riding it, and why Dan sees the whole thing as bittersweet despite coming out on top. From there we dig into the design differences between the DRK and FRK, what changed and why, and how those decisions translate for everyday surfers, not just Kelly. Dan also breaks down his approach to fins and why keeping one constant across every board you ride matters. We also discuss Dan’s different models and I share why the Dominator Pro has genuinely changed my surfing. Chapters 0:01:46 Welcome & Stab in the Dark X Introduction 0:02:10 Was Winning Bittersweet?
