After 6 generations of creating the Mantis, Cabrinha has continued to make improvements while keeping it an all-around, wave-slashing machine. The rigid front handle gives incredible control when luffing out the wing, letting you focus on riding the wave. Even if you are not into wave riding, the Mantis has a stiff framework and efficient profile, making it great for both freestyle riding and zipping around at top speeds on flat water.
The 2026 Mantis features a single boom that gives you the utmost control for single-handed riding, hand switches, and hardcore freestyle maneuvers. Cabrinha has thought of everything, all the way down to the bag design that allows you to pack away the wing with the boom attached, saving valuable time before and after sessions.
Whether you're ripping down the line, throwing handle passes, or riding at top speeds, the Mantis has the performance and reliability you can count on to get you dialed every session.
What Cabrinha has to say:
Now in its 6th generation, the Mantis has become the benchmark for riders who demand stability, power, and versatility on the water. From smooth wave riding to cruising, its ability to stay balanced when flagged out and deliver low-end drive when needed has made it one of the most trusted wings in the sport.
For 2026, the Mantis continues to raise the bar. Built with precision craftsmanship, the upgraded Airframe inflation system, and a construction process refined for consistency, it delivers smoother handling, greater durability, and the most dependable feel yet.
Every detail has been considered, including the new Handlebar boom, now standard on every Mantis, and a redesigned bag that makes packing simple with no need to remove it.
From effortless down-the-line surfing to powered-up freeride sessions, the Mantis gives you the stability to flow, the power to fly, and the reliability to progress session after session.
