Using a refined design to achieve higher finesse, the Phantom foils glide faster and for longer. Connecting waves while surfing or downwinding thereby becomes much easier and more fun. Yet, connecting waves isn’t much fun if you can’t turn and this is why carving is also part of the DNA of the Phantom foils. By working on the lift distribution, arch shape and other details we achieved a high-aspect, performance foil that can carve smooth curves on the waves and swells.
Manera presents Born Pacific. A film by Nate Laverty featuring Pete Devries with cinematography by Marcus Paladino. At only 7 years old, a few household chores allowed young Pete to ditch his bodyboard and buy his first surfboard. Back in the day, wetsuits didn't do a great job, so he could only surf in the summer. Then this little guy from Tofino, Vancouver grew up and evolved at an international level. Watch him unveil his best surfing in dreamy, cold Canadian waves.
