Ride character
On the water, the Mantis Apex feels noticeably lighter in your hands with faster acceleration and sharper response compared to standard construction wings. The Aluula Gold frame increases stiffness, which improves pumping efficiency and power transfer while reducing flex. This results in earlier takeoffs, quicker handling and a more direct connection to the wing through every manoeuvre.
When flagged, the wing drifts neutrally and feels almost weightless, making it ideal for swell riding and high-performance carving. Riders looking for maximum performance, reduced fatigue and the lightest possible setup will immediately notice the Apex difference.
