Cabrinha Mantis (v4) and Vision (v2) WING REVIEW

oh man what a fun few weeks! Cabrinha lent me these two wings and it's been fun to ride them and getting to know them. you may have noticed I have been riding a v3 Mantis lately, and really digging it. so I was eager to try the v4, and guess what?!? got me stoked. this is a mostly full review of these two wings in the same video, riding each for multiple sessions, two sessions with both wings back-to-back. I hope you dig it.

gear ridden in this video:
v4 Cabrinha Mantis 5m
v2 Cabrinha Vision 5m

75L Armstring v1 FG board
various Armstrong foils, mostly HA880
795 performance mast
140 and 180 tails
60 fuse
Kaohi double coil grip leash & padded belt

Hi Jeremy, thank you so much for all the content! I absolutely love what you’re doing. I’m in need of a new wing! I had. v1 swing which was AMAZING. I just demo’d an Armstrong xps and really enjoyed it except for the swing side to side when it was drifting. If you were buying a new wing for what you do. What would it be? Thanks!

Great video.
I have a V1 Mantis 6m and a V2 Mantis 5m.
The 6m is great, sometimes a bit wild if your way out of the wing range (~35kt+)
The V2 5m can be a bit squirrely and seems to like to flip over when you crash.
I put both through rough conditions (winter winging on ice/snow) and heavy winds/ concrete/ plowing through trees getting to the lake and no issues with build so far.
That double connection hose looks nice for inflating quicker but personally would love to see two separate bladders and inflation valves one for the strut and leading edge.
*I agree those bags are great I shove both wings in a single bag.

Great review! I've been the biggest Mantis fanboy. Owned V1, V2, and V3 but after multiple cracked inflation valves I'll never buy another. Almost everyone in PCB rode Cabrinha, we've all had valve issues, almost everyone has switched brands now.

Jeremy, thanks for the new review. I use a V3 Mantis in four sizes. It's my favorite. I had a Vision V1 (7m) and sold it because I really missed the stiffness and did not like the dehydral. Therefore, I changed to a Mantis 6m as my biggest wing. I am missing my wings .. as traveling

Hi, thanks for this review and all your work. How do you compare those wings to f-one? Is mantis closer to srike, swing or maybe orgin? And viaion? Does your old cabrinha wing baggs as f-one or is it better? Thx 🤙

Love it! 🙌 hope to share a session soon!

The 2 valves also helps locate the inner strut so it wont twist inside and pop when you pump it up.

There are two tubes for quicker deflate they say, btw
