Tabou Manta is competitive performance slalom board. It has been designed to achieve outstanding top end speed and radical acceleration. This board is used by many top pro riders from PWA. Incredible  acceleration and jibing characteristics, better high end control and stability.
The 2016 Manta is a true demon on all points of the race course. Good choice for intermediate to pro riders who want to be the fastest on the spot and for heavy sailors with lighter winds. It is designed to achieve maximum speed. Also the Manta has light yet stiff construction. You can race on it with very high speed even on big sails, thanks to wide nose and short outline. It as well jibes amazingly fast and tight, without losing speed. Flat rocker ensures you early planing.

Manta provides full control and stability even in overpowered conditions. It simply features everything you might expect from top shelf slalom board. The set does not include fin.

Maciek Rutkowski says:

Today’s slalom is not only about speed. Of course it is very important factor but with higher and more even competitive level of PWA pro riders, features such as acceleration, ease to get in and out of jibes with full speed and comfort also became crucial. That’s why modern racing gear is also easy to use for an average windsurfers. Times of heavy sails, flying boards and front leg falling out of strap have passed. Now I can give my spare equipment to my friends, who are “weekend” windsurfers and they are able to train with me!

Set includes:

• Tabou board
• Footstraps
