In a sport that is so young, it’s hard to say that there is a benchmark, but the Mantis may be just that. In it’s 5th generation the Mantis has undergone a redesign to take it further into the realm of the wing that is often copied, but never imitated.Increased segments in the wingtip to aid in better canopy tension, an outline change to shift the draft balance forward to increase power on the front hand, as well as the introduction of a new rigid batten to help are just some of the key features that set this wing apart from the rest.
The Mantis remains the top choice for riders seeking reliable power and unmatched performance. Whether you're using our widespan handles or the new ‘Handle Bar’, you can count on having an exhilarating experience every time you hit the water.
