Tabou Manta Foil 2026
Built to win foil races: early takeoffs, precise control, and top-end speed across slalom, speed, and upwind-focused courses.
The Tabou Manta Foil 2026 is a purpose-built windsurf foil racing board designed for riders who want full-gas acceleration, stable flight, and confident jibes at race pace. The 76 and 86 are tuned for slalom and speed courses with a compact outline and narrower tail that stays light and neutral when fully lit. The Manta Foil 100 adds extra lift and upwind efficiency for lighter wind racing—making it a strong choice when the course demands height and glide.
- Sizes: 76 / 86 / 100
- Super Compact Outline
- Big Tail Cut-Outs
- Lowered Mast Track
- Race-Tuned Stance (76/86)

Why You’ll Love the Manta Foil
Early Release & Lift
Tail cut-outs reduce wetted surface for earlier planing and efficient lift—so you’re flying sooner and accelerating harder off the line.
Control at High Speed
A compact race outline helps the board feel lighter and more neutral in flight, keeping you composed when the wind and course get demanding.
Slalom/Speed Focus (76 & 86)
The 76 and 86 are shaped and set up to stay locked-in through powered reaches, fast transitions, and smooth, confident jibes.
Light-Wind Racing Edge (100)
The 100 is tuned to provide added lift and strong upwind performance when the wind drops—perfect for racing in marginal conditions.
Manta Foil Technical Features
Super Compact Design
Compact outline for a lighter, more neutral feel with outstanding control while flying at high speed.
Big Cut-Outs
Large tail cut-outs reduce drag for early planing, quick acceleration, efficient take-offs, and less drag on touchdowns.
Specialized Stance (76 & 86)
Footstrap positions on the 76 and 86 are placed more forward to increase control when you’re pushing top speed.
Lowered Mast Track
A lowered mast track improves overall control and stability throughout racing situations—especially when fully powered.
Advanced Aerodynamics
Redesigned front V, extremely tucked-in nose rails, and a neutral board profile reduce drag to improve stability in the air and maximize top speed.
Race-Ready Control Layout
Hull shape, cut-outs, and stance/mast track placement work together to keep the ride precise and predictable—so you can stay fast through every phase of the race.
