03S Mantis Wing
The Mantis wing is the one that has contributed most to the development and definition of the sport.
The wing that established the standard for stability and rigidity is now in its third generation and has undergone additional refinement to fully realize the potential of wing foiling.
The Mantis V3 is the cleanest and most effective wing to date thanks to the redesigned Convex Strut and greater convex dihedral, which has helped the wing's range by increasing its power to stability ratio. The essential portion of the kite's air foil section has been improved, which has increased the Mantis' low end power and broadened its application.

CONVEX DIHEDRAL
The increased Convex Dihedral has helped expand the range of the Mantis by providing an increased power to stability ratio.
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.
REFINED FRAME
Refinements to the Frame of the Mantis V3 have allowed for a reduced weight, but increased reactive performance.
RIGID STRUT
The Convex strut on the Mantis V3 provides a stiffer and more reactive connection between the rider and wing.
HD LARGE DIAMETER CLOSING SEAM
A larger stiffer diameter LE requires an updated closing seam contribution to withstand the unique forces that winging provides.
PURE IMPULSE FRONT HANDLE
Infused with the technology of the Widespan Handles, the Pure Impulse front handle provides a direct location for carrying, maneuvering and also for controlling the wing.
