The new 35.5″ Manta Ray is suited to the “surf dads” or taller surfers over 6ft (183cm) that have a wider surf stance. We’ve made a board that has excellent drive and hold through the deepest bottom turns and tightest top top turns. It has a contour deck shape: more width on the tail so you can push down hard through the turn. The front foot area is also wider again for pushing hard for carving driveways or small skatebowls.

The Manta Ray has new white SmoothStar Starfish wheels which are 2mm wider and 4 mm thicker than SmoothStar Stingray wheels. More rubber connected to the asphalt means the bigger guys have more hold through the turns.

Introducing the new 35.5″ Manta Ray. We designed this model specifically for the ‘surf dads’ or taller surfers over 6ft. Its comes with new white wheels that are 2mm extra wide because the bigger guys can hold their bottom and top turns without sliding out too much. Our teamrider in the video @harls._ loves this board because it has the wheel base that perfectly matched his surf stance. The Manta Ray is available now in Australia and some other regions will be able to pre-purchase within the next 24hours. #smoothstar #mantaray #surfdads
