Cabrinha Mantis 2001 version..late to the party

[Caribsurf]

I took advantage of 15% off on 2021 Cabrinha Mantis (with windows) and bought the 5 and 4m from Green hat Kiteboarding.  They are making room for the 2022 model
Used the 5m for first time today and LOVED it.  So light , so powerful and SO efficient compared to my older Duotones.
Pumping this wing it was so responsive and got me up on foil in an instant...   The mini booms work really well and felt comfortable in no time.  Easy transitions on jibes and hand passes. I felt so dialed in right away on this wing and can see what so many people use them.  I don't know what they did to improve it for 2022 aside from major price increase, but I am very happy with the 2021 model and loved the price.

I even managed to get the wing back in the bag first try!!  . But that would be my #1 complaint..the bag sucks.
Also wish it had a dump valve on the strut..

Ha, you enjoy a bargain as well. I just purchased a 5,4 and 3.1 either new or ex demo for a little over a new large Duotone Unit with pretty much the same handles. The handles are brilliant and the smaller sizes are a blast. Although the 5 is good, for me as a short arse it is a bit tricky to pump in very light wind but powered up it shots up wind and is very well behaved. A hidden gem. I'm going to add a powerful 6m to complete the quiver.

Looks like a nice new quiver for you as well!  Enjoying the Mantis..I am LOVING mine...
