Designed to be versatile in various wave types and board types, the Manncave is a balanced or neutral template that sits firmly in the rake world with a slightly more pivot-oriented outline. This is Dan's go-to fin that he uses to test all of his new shapes from grovelers up to long guns - it's the variable he keeps constant during R&D. For Dan, a good fin template makes sense for both drive down-the-line and pocket maneuvers, and the foil has to be perfect (foiled both front to back but also base to tip).
