What the Mantis Apex is built for
The Apex version takes the proven platform of the Mantis wing and refines it with Ultra-HP high-pressure frame material that can hold higher pressures while reducing frame diameter and overall weight. This creates a leaner profile with high rigidity, improving upwind performance, agility and stability when under load.

Ride feel (on the water)
The Apex feels efficient and responsive in the hands, with crisp feedback and smooth transitions between power and depower. The lean profile and refined twist make it easier to stay powered up without excessive pull, while the high-pressure frame improves ride stability and agility. This makes the wing suitable for freeride cruising, wave situations and foil work where control and predictability matter most.
