Quality, advanced technology and innovation means everything to us.
We put all our efforts into the development of boards that are built to last, but still lightweight and performance oriented. Finding this balance is a constant challenge, but these nuances make the difference between a good board and a great board.
Each Tabou board features exactly the right mix of different design traits and technologies for its application area to provide every surfer with the right board for his demands.
Manta technical FEATURES :
1 – OPTIMIZED CUT-OUTS
Big cut-outs in the tail reduce the wetted surface, which results in impressive top speed and lift. The cut-outs of each Manta size are specifically designed to meet the particular requirements to the board.
2 – EXTRA TAIL V
An extra tail V on the Manta boards boosts acceleration and top speed to new heights.
3 – BALANCED SHAPE CONCEPT
Each Manta’s shape concept is designed to meet the specific requirements to the respective size on the slalom or speed course. Maximized speed and control on the small boards transition to enhanced lift and planing performance on the bigger boards.
4 – SUPER DEEP FRONT V
The deep V in the front section let the Manta sizes between 61 and 71 fly over chop smoothly and provide outstanding control, which keeps you in control and at top speed easily.

The Manta’s construction is a dedication to racing excellence. Highest grade carbon is incorporated into an elaborately composed strong and stiff but super light construction.
