There really are several boards that you'll be happy with. Legendary surfboard shaper Pat Rawson has developed this board for riders who want the freedom and style of a twin tip that's free from the hassle and confinement of bindings. This means doing more tricks during your session instead of reaching. Numbing back and forth grinding is a thing of the past with this board in light wind. It's narrow outline improves edging capabilities.
Compression molding insures a quality composite structure while retaining a consistent shape.
Last season, the twin tips were tough for beginners because of minimal floatation. This season, the rules have changed. The right choice for learning and ripping in light air. Over the last two weeks I've been riding the Manta quite a bit. A tapered core puts the volume under your feet where its needed and away from the tips to decrease swing weight for arial maneuvers.
