The Mantis V2 is the next evolutionary leap in wing design.
The Mantis V2 is the next evolutionary leap in wing design. Big steps have been taken to further develop the popular Mantis platform to optimize use through the whole range. The original Mantis set a benchmark with regards to leading edge rigidity, and this year it has been even further refined, culminating in an ultra-rigid frame and refined profile. Combined with a pretensioned canopy, this gives a crisp high performing product that maintains its performance through a wider range of conditions. Refined sizing and wingspans allow for more progressive power in the small sizes, while the wingtip shape adjustment helps deflect water during start up, and also allows for deeper profiles to aid in power delivery. The Mantis V2 showcases Cabrinha’s forward driving wing program and puts the ultimate in technology and efficiency into your hands to maximize water time and performance.
FEATURES:
• NEW High centre-LE diameter and progressive taper for improved stiffness & canopy tension
• Controllable power in wide range of conditions
• HD large diameter closing seam construction
• Balanced dihedral for power-to-stability ratio
• High rigidity single strut for low weight and predictable depower
• Nano Ripstop Canopy
• High Tenacity Dacron
• Kevlar wing tip reinforcement
Leading Edge Inflatable Dihedral with a medium aspect ratio outline, rigid frame and lightweight design.
Increased centre diameter to the leading edge, as well as a progressive taper provides not only improved stiffness, but also increased canopy tension.
A larger stiffer diameter LE requires an updated closing seam contribution to withstand the unique forces that winging provides.
Many prototypes allowed us to arrive with the balanced dihedral on the Mantis V2. This gives a great blend of power to stability ratio.
A single highly rigid strut allows for a lower weight and predictable depower when on a wave.
Through the updated shape and dihedral, the Mantis V2 has an increased power range which covers a larger spectrum of conditions.
A change in the wingtip shape not only aids in canopy control and stability, but also reduces the chance of a wing tip catch when getting up and pumping.

Sit back and enjoy the view with perfect vision. When spots are busy with other water users the extended vision greatly impacts on the safety of you and others.
A higher level of performance can only be achieved when the wings’s design properties are supported by a stable and reactive wing material. Nano Ripstop does just that.
