In a sport that is so young, its 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’, aka BOOM, you can count on having an exhilarating experience every time you hit the water.

Features
Key Features
CONVEX DIHEDRAL
Convex Dihedral helps expand the range of the Mantis by providing an increased power to stability ratio. It also creates more steering stability of the wing while flying by the handle on a wave.
LOAD PATH
The Load Path Panel Layout has been carefully designed to help mitigate the varying loads and elongation that occur on wings, translating into a cleaner and more structural product in a wider range of conditions.
CLEAN TENSIONED CANOPY
It’s often said a clean canopy is an efficient one. The V5 is Cabrinha’s cleanest, precisely tensioned canopy design we’ve ever created. This translation of design to simple on-demand power has led to its ever growing popularity in the wing market.
CONVEX STRUT
The Convex support strut on the Mantis V3 provides a stiffer and more reactive connection between the rider and wing.
SPANWISE PANEL LAYOUT
Panel layouts running across the wing help distribute load equally throughout the canopy leading to a better distribution of load in key areas across the wing.
20/20 VISION
A refined window layout, running parallel alongside the strut, made from weather resistant TPU provides increased visibility when riding.
Technology
Teijen D2 Ripstop Canopy
Made in Japan, this advanced double ripstop canopy fabric offers superior performance and longevity. Enhanced by Teijin’s D2 coating, this exclusive fabric offers increased resistance against tearing, UV damage and abrasions.
KEYLOCK ANGLED HANDLE ATTACHMENTS
Indexing attachment points lock down the composite handles eliminating any rotation at each connection point. The culmination is the most rigid, direct handle design to date.
2 X SPRINT
Two sprint valves connection the Stiff Strut to the Leading edge allow for increased airflow to aid in both inflating and pack down.
TE LOAD DISTRIBUTOR
TE load distributor increases wing durability while robustly helps distribute wing tension throughout the Trailing Edge. The abrasive material stops scuffing while the wing rests on land.
