I surfed 2-3' waves on my Manta today where everyone else was on a log, to give you an idea of the wave. I had a blast. It can't "beat" longboards but it can surf the same waves no problem.

It's pretty amazing how my quiver has changed multiple times over the years but my OG Manta remains. I need a new one SOON! My buddy and I are planning a trip down to see Mr. Mattison soon!honestly I could surf my manta 90% of the time around here and probably should...forget the 14 other boards
Fairly certain the Manta quad fin placement is a bit further up than standard but I may be mistaken. As far as twin fins go I'm really liking the Britt Merrick twin fin. Nice blend of upright and keel. I could see that working in a Manta if you wanted to go that route. I'm LOVING the Album Fascination quad set and nub in my manta. Made an amazing board even better IMO.I love twin fin mini simmons boards and the erbb hype has me wanting a manta.can you run twins in the boxes where they are placed on stock boards? Was thinking something in between up rights and keels.
Boxes are too far forward to run as a strictly twin fin. Would be loose AF, imo.I love twin fin mini simmons boards and the erbb hype has me wanting a manta.can you run twins in the boxes where they are placed on stock boards? Was thinking something in between up rights and keels.
I actually put one under my arm and had a look over it at a shop today. Then I put it down and walked away.watch out manta
Looks like single tabmy new pointy nosed manta came with a new fin setup. Quad - big fronts with custom tabbed rears so they are way forward than normal. goes insane. Have ridden it with the regular manta quad setup from my other board and it goes well but the new setup feels way closer to a twin imo...View attachment 126236
My new 5150 has this set up can't wait to try Stretch said Dylan Graves and Miky Picon helped develope this when they wanted to ride 5150 as twin. I am not sure yet exact fin placement "has not arrived" but Dylan and Stretch told me front fins 10" with back up from normal quad set up. I plan on using FU 2win twin set front and FU S#1 rearsmy new pointy nosed manta came with a new fin setup.
