There are a million new ways to fly. And the all new Mantis from Cabrinha is our most versatile way to take flight.
The Mantis is a streamlined, light weight but extremely rigid hand held wing that will power up any foilboard, surfboard, skate or snowboard. It has a simple inflated frame and single strut to keep things light and tight.
The Mantis is ideal for surfing. While fully depowered it will fly perfectly wherever you place it, or you can steer it through your turns with our unique front handle.
It’s stiffness allows you to power right through the gusts or take to the air.
Any way you want to fly it, the Mantis will deliver performance and predictability in an incredibly simple to use wing.

Mantis Wing Designer's Notes:
The Difference Between Cabrinha Mantis & Crosswing
The main difference is in the construction of the struts. The Crosswing X2 and X3 have 2 struts and the Mantis has only one. The top strut on the X2 creates a curve that increases the surface area vs the length from nose to tail
Mantis's strut is straight and doesn't create the "curve." - less surface/length ratio. This geometry gives the Crosswing more low end power which gives it an advantage in water starts and light wind conditions.
For beginners, it translates into doing less pumping on the start and in low-wind conditions compared to the Mantis.
The advantage of the Mantis over the X2 is slightly lighter weight because of the simpler strut construction.
