"The Mantis is loaded with attitude in a smooth flying platform that flyers have come to expect from a Blue Moon kite. Straight lines, sharp corners and flowing curves are all part of the package as are the more advanced tricks that flyers have been incorporating into their flying kit bag over the past few years. Backspins, Jacob’s ladders, yo-yos, and Lazy Susan tricks are packaged in the Mantis right alongside the flat axels, 540s and Slot Machines. Cascades and Flic Flacs are drop dead gorgeous and solid.

The line-up of ultra-light, standard and vented Mantids offers both competition and recreational flyers a total kite package for the full range of wind conditions."
