Specifications (2022)

Design purpose & performance goals

The 2022 Mantis wing is built to be easy to handle and predictable, making it a great choice for riders progressing in freeride and foil winging disciplines. Its medium aspect freeride outline balances stability with responsiveness and delivers smooth power across wind ranges.

This stability-focused design lets riders focus on board/foil feel rather than fighting the wing, while still offering enough drive and steering authority to handle carving, transitions and powered cruising.

Ride feel (on the water)

The 2022 Mantis delivers a smooth and intuitive feel. Compared with higher-aspect performance wings, it offers more forgiving behavior, making it easier to maintain control when hiking for power or easing out for stability. Steering feels balanced and predictable, not overly twitchy, and it generates enough drive for confident foil starts without requiring aggressive inputs.

• Freeride wingers looking for a stable, confidence-inspiring wing
• Foil riders progressing from beginner to intermediate levels
