Watch Ben Veitch bodyboarding with Pride Bodyboards new Family Tree template The Mantis around his home of Western Australia. 

According to the Pride crew, The Mantis is designed for the taller guys looking for a performance-oriented board that is long but not necessarily thick or wide. Equipped with a PP core, two carbon fiber stringers, mesh and a single to double concave, the board generates maximum speed even in the smaller surf, yet maintains the essential responsiveness. 

Just watch the Ben class.
