Key Features

ALUULA AIRFRAME

Aluula composite airframe is lightweight, ultra strong, extremely stable with a dynamic response.

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.

CRISP CANOPY TENSION

The Cabrinha Mantis APEX is the pinnacle design of our wing program. It's the cleanest, most precisely tensioned canopy we've created to date and sets our new benchmark of wing designs.

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.

STYLE SELECTOR

Built for performance. Tuned for feel.

A high-performance wing combining exceptional stability and control with a lighter, sharper and more responsive feel, delivering intuitive handling across freeride, waves and powered riding.

Rider Quote Image
I've used the Mantis Apex on a few sessions now. The wing feels slightly stiffer than the Mantis with a touch more power. What I really notice is how stable the wing is through the gusts. It's very precise and makes gybes and tacks so much easier. There is instant acceleration when you engage the wing which gets you on the foil incredibly easily. I absolutely love it! ~ Markino Orrù

TEIJIN 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.

ALUULA GOLD

ALUULA Gold is an ultra-lightweight, high-modulus material that dramatically increases stiffness and durability in wing leading edges, enhancing responsiveness, impact resistance, and longevity

KEYLOCK ANGLED HANDLE ATTACHEMENTS

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.

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.

AIRFRAME INFLATION VALVE

The Cabrinha Airframe inflation valve is a high-capacity, one-way valve designed for quick and secure kite inflation using a standard pump hose. Its twist-to-lock mechanism ensures an airtight seal, making setup and pack down efficient and hassle-free.

STRUT INFLATION

The Mantis Apex incorporates options for strut inflation and deflation. The Airframe single point inflation system allows for seamless set up, while the introduction of an Airframe Inflation valve helps for quick deflate and packing.

FREE FLY PRECISION

Rigid and responsive. The Mantis Apex front handle enables precision control of the wing when free flying the wing. Ideal for riding waves and controlling the wing while in neutral

Who is this for?

The Mantis is for wing foilers looking for a performance all-round wing that excels on flat water just as much as it does in the surf and in the air.

This is a powered wing, ideal for the racecourse, the local break, or the foiler looking for exceptional performance. It offers excellent control from the leading-edge handle, feels balanced in the surf, and also boasts some serious big-air capabilities.

How does it compare?

Versus 2026 Vision:

While both wings are great for the everyday freeride session, that is where the similarity ends. The Mantis features a much flatter canopy compared to the Vision’s fuller profile, particularly at the leading edge.

Because of its flatter canopy design, the Mantis requires a little more kinetic input (pumping) to get foiling at the lighter end of the wind range. Once up and riding, however, the flatter profile generates apparent wind and unlocks the Mantis’ signature performance and impressive upwind angles.

When sizing, we recommend the Vision for the lighter end of the wind range due to its fuller profile and more powerful, grunty personality. Larger sizes of the Mantis should be selected more with rider stature in mind.

The Mantis also features a lower-dihedral leading edge compared to the Vision, allowing it to fly more balanced from the front handle when flagged out. This makes it ideal in the surf, where you can largely ignore the wing and focus 100% on your lines.

These qualities also give the Mantis serious big-air credentials. For riders looking to beat their personal best in the air, or even those who just occasionally want to boost, the Mantis is the clear choice.

Who is this for?

Designed for wing foilers who live in light-wind locations, especially those riding at flat-water spots, or for riders looking to maximize their time on the water with a light-wind-specific wing.

How does it compare?

Versus Vision:

Both the Vision and Vision XL share many design similarities, but the refined profiles of the XL allow it to generate more power and drive in light threshold winds. As the Vision XL is specifically designed for light-wind performance, with less focus on the high end of the wind range, the overall canopy tension has also been refined to further enhance efficiency through a very clean canopy.

Versus Mantis:

While the Mantis has always been known as a powerful wing, in larger sizes the lower dihedral of its design limits effective performance, which is why we don’t offer the Mantis in these larger sizes.

The Vision XL, on the other hand, features a higher dihedral, reducing the possibility of tip catching while also improving visibility, a particularly important factor with larger wings.
