NEXT GENERATION: Lighter, Stronger, High pressure smaller leading edge
PERFORMANCE CROSSOVER FREERIDE
SIZES: 4M / 5M / 6M
The Mantis has become synonymous with its outstanding range and versatility. The wing performs amazingly in waves and on ocean downwinders, but it’s also proved to excel on the racecourse, lakes, and flat water venues.
The Mantis Apex series takes the performance to a new level by introducing the Ultra HP frame material. Aside from a 22% weight saving in frame material, the big benefit comes from the ability to hold higher pressures, allowing us to reduce the LE diameter while maintaining stiffness. This leads to a leaner profile and a higher-performing product.

The Mantis Apex utilizes a medium Dihedral design to deliver a balanced power-to-stability ratio. This translates to precision handling and feedback from the wing.
The refined wingtip twist allows for the wing to breathe while maintaining canopy tension.
The Mantis Apex has a lean profile for efficient upwind performance, a wide speed range, and an extremely responsive frame thanks to Ultra-HP.
A highly rigid single strut for low weight and predictable depower.
A refined window layout from weather-resistant TPU provides increased visibility when riding.
Through a combination of Ultra-HP material, refined profiles and Tip Twist, the Mantis Apex has incredible controllability and power in a wide range of wind conditions.


A lightweight laminate material boasts amazing strength and stability, especially at higher pressures. The use of Ultra HP allows for the opportunity to get a stronger frame at higher pressures, allowing the wing to utilize a 20% smaller diameter leading edge compared to normal materials.
One unique benefit of Ultra-HP is that it allows us to inflate the Leading edge to a higher pressure. Combined with the unique reflex characteristics of the material, you have a light, stiff narrow-diameter frame.


Cabrinha introduced the Widespan handles on the X2 and has since led the charge in design, strategically placed to allow for the ultimate in micro adjustment when riding and for easy pack down at the end of the session, the Widespan Anti Twist Handles take your winging experience to new levels.
Wingsurfing is a unique sport, putting its unique force on products. The Load Path Panel Layout has been carefully designed to help mitigate the varying loads and elongation on wings. This translates into a cleaner and more structural product in a wider range of conditions.


Two sprint valves connecting the Stiff Strut to the Leading edge allow for increased airflow to aid in both inflating and packing down.
A higher level of performance can only be achieved when a stable and reactive wing material supports the wing's design properties. Nano Ripstop does just that.


Infused with the technology of the Widespan Handles, the Pure Impulse front handle provides a direct location for carrying, manoeuvring, and controlling the wing. On a wave, the Pure Impulse Handle allows you to move the wing where you want it, when you want it, allowing you to focus on the wave ahead.
