A WORD FROM THE MAKER THE MANTRA
THIS BOARD SUITS PADDLERS LOOKING FOR MORE 1ST STABILITY. IT HAS A COMPLETE DIFFERENT SHAPE CONCEPT AND OFFERS COMPARABLE SPEED POTENTIAL IN VARIOUS CONDITIONS.
THE BOTTOM CONTOUR IS ROUND WITH ACCENTUATED V IN THE FRONT. IT IS SLICING THROUGH CHOP AND WAVES, STILL ABLE TO BE STEERED WITH EASE. THE CENTER BOTTOM HAS A SUPER SUBTLE CONCAVE WITH EDGES GRADUALLY RUNNING FROM ROUND TO SHARP. THIS CREATS MORE 1ST STABILITY WITHOUT SACRIFICING WETTED SURFACE WHICH CREATES DRAG. THE TAIL RUNS INTO FLAT WITH HARD EDGES.
THE ROCKERLINE IS A NEW DEVELOPMENT AND FEATURES A FLAT LINE IN THE CENTER AND STRAIGHT LOW ROCKER IN THE LAST 1/3RD WHICH MAKES THE BOARD A WASH RIDING GIANT EVEN IN THE 2ND AND 3RD WAVE AND WILL SAVE ENERGY WHEN NEEDED. USUALLY THESE SHAPES SUFFER AGAINST WAVES AND CHOP BUT WITH THE ALL NEW V ROUND FRONT BOTTOM AND A BALANCED TAIL DIMENSION THIS BOARD IS RUNNING FAST AND FREE IN HEADWIND AND CHOPPY CONDITIONS. THE DUGOUT IS HIGHER THAN ANYTHING WE KNOW TO PREVENT WATER ENTRY IN ROUGHER CONDITIONS . THE DUGOUT WALLS ARE SUPER SLIM MORE KIND OF A FORMULA ONE LIKE DESIGN NOT FOLLOWING COMFORT JUST GOING FOR PERFORMANCE( DON´T WORRY THEY ARE RIGID AN STABLE ). THE 22.2” MANTRA HAS MORE STANDING WIDTH THAN THE SIGNATURE 2.0 in 24.75 !
FINBOX POSITION IS ALSO DIRECTED TO THE FRONT AND EASY TO TURN. WE TESTED THE BOARD IN MULTIPLE CONDITIONS AND THEY OFFER A LARGER RIDER WEIGHT VARIETY THAN THE SIGNATURE DUE TO THE BETTER 1ST STABILITY. I WOULD RECOMMEND THE 22.2” FOR PADDLERS UP TO 83KG AND ABOVE THE 23.2”. I TESTED MYSELF THE 22.2” IN A 10K TIME TRIAL AND IT HAS BEEN FAST ALTHOUGH I HAVe BEEN TO HEAVY. THE FIRST SERIAL 23.2 ARRIVES NEXT WEEK. SO FRIENDS EVEN IN THE LOCK DOWN TIMES WE CAN START DOING DEMO WITH ALL MODELS ONE ON ONE END OF NEXT WEEK.

LIGHT MANTRA 23.2
ChrisDivers individual Time Trial has been such a good motivation to test myself and the equipment in race zone. Couple of you asked to see some more pics of our alternative solution to the well known and race winning SIGNATURE model. It is called the MANTRA. I received last week the first 23.2 version which fits my weight around 90kg very well and I did the 5k and 10k trial on the 23.2 and the 22.2. The 23.2 has been working better for me and as expected it should be the choice for paddlers 83kg+ . It has a slight different rocker line than the 22.2 so that the tail sits exactly at the waterline for heavy paddlers and wash riding/draft will get much more difficult for my competitors. The benefit is a free and loose feeling.
I feel comfortable on the 23.2 with 90kg and stability is key to bring the power to the blade. So I could catch my personal best time in our 10k training run up and down the river. Excited to test in real races hopefully soon...
Here my time trial 10k and Peter Weidert on virtual paddle race 5k
