The Manta Surf Foil (SF2) 6’0″ x 28.5″
The Manta, while primarily a surf foil board, is a lot of fun on shorter downwind runs. This board however, is designed to catch waves and swells that are not ideal for traditional surfing.
In Hawaii they have a lot of trade winds which can make for messy wave conditions, but with the Manta foil board, you don’t have to miss a day on the water. This board pops up on foil, glides on low energy swell and can carve up a storm of its own. Call the Manta your ‘daily driver.’
This board is stable and has enough length, volume and glide to lift you up out to foil in the big blue, yet has a low enough swing weight that you can also drop in, kick out, and pump your board back out to the lineup for another ride.
Features
- SUPER FLY 2 (Carbon-Kevlar PVC Sandwich)
- Double slotted Futures fin box tracks (9cm spacing) for plate mount system
Super Fly 2 (SF2) Technology
Full PVC Sandwich with Co-Woven Kevlar/Carbon – SIC’s highest end foil construction with a full PVC sandwich wrapping the EPS core (top, bottom, 360 degree rails) for a light, stiff and very durable construction.
The board is wrapped in co-woven kevlar/carbon weave as foiling introduces new challenges in terms of taking load from the foil and the impact from the paddle.
This construction address weight, strength and durability like few if any other boards on the market.
These boards are molded to ensure great lamination strength and that every board is precisely like the master shaped by Mark Raaphorst.

SIC has stepped into the foil market with a tight collection of thoroughly tested shapes, high performance construction and beautiful graphic execution. Mark Raaphorst has been one of the leading designers of foil boards developing refining his foil designs for the last 3 years.
As with all SIC products these boards have been tested in the waters on Maui as well as put to the test by team riders like Eric Terrien who has also been a pioneer and top competitor in windsurfing, SUP and now foiling. Terrien won a number or races in 2019 on the prototypes which have led to the 2020 production designs. Terrien turned heads in April of ‘19 at the Kelt Ocean Race in France where he finished 1st in the foil division and set a French first when he also finished ahead of all of the SUP racers in this prestigious downwind event.
