Just back from the AWSI at Hood River both units were there . Saw a few people demo but not actually up
and riding . The boards were pretty big and far from ideal . Everything looked well put together but still very bulky and close to double the weight of the FD , really shocked when I picked it up , it's advertised weight with a motor is way off . I snapped these pics of the units .I added a couple of shots of the FD travel batteries just released for size comparison.
Manta are predominantly an Efoil company so battery size and endurance is important, where as Foildrive is designed for and by surfers so weight was paramount. Even Manta's promotion states biggest battery in class, but should probably say, heaviest in class.
This just popped up on my Progression Project feed . Not a great review. I screen shot first page but click on the link to read full review . forum.progressionproject.com/t/manta-foils-flow-buyer-beware/7078
Hi guys just thought I'd share a bit of update 1 year on . Things have changed and the first units that had these minor bugs , customers received updated parts to repair, 4 screws replacements, a new set of bearings , a seal and firmware to download to update . Also manta have released new v2 pod for quicker set ups . They have also released a v2 prop and 3 blade on its way . Manta like all manufacturers get reports from customers and listen , rectify a Sollution. Manta pride themselves on tiers in Mantafoils business being a fantastic product that is designed for endurance and travel backed up by support team and local dealers like myself who are trained for repairs and maintenance, support of our customers is our most important priority . Manta's also working with designers like Konrad boards who produce trench board for customers needs in any size , these boards a super light and strong with perfect signal strength.

Hi ?? Hilly yes speak to Mark he will look after you on the west coast 0487042694
New INRUNNER motor just released
Basically a sealed unit, so no more dismantling after each session, just rinse off externally. More torque and greater efficiency and combined with the new V2 pod with a choice of assist and efoil plugin cables (short and long) to make installation and swapping between efoil and assist modes quick and easy. These are great upgrades.
