Vintage Manta Australia “Eppo” 42″ Bodyboard Lent: 3ft 6inch Width: 2ft

Own a piece of authentic Australian wave-riding history with the Manta Australia “Eppo” Bodyboard. Formulated during the golden era of high-performance bodyboarding and named after Michael “Eppo” Eppelstun—the revolutionary rider who invented modern aerial maneuvers like the ARS (Air Roll Spin)—this board blends authentic Aussie craftsmanship with a timeless high-volume shape.

Pro-Grade Dimensions & Stability

• Length: 3 feet 6 inches (42 inches) – The ultimate sweet-spot sizing for adult and teenage riders looking for maximum versatility.

• Width: 2 feet (24 inches) – A wide-point forward template that creates an ultra-stable platform. This generous width provides exceptional flotation and a massive planing surface area, letting you coast through fat sections of the wave and maintain speed effortlessly.

Dual-Tone Hydrodynamic Construction

• Front (Grey Deck): The top grey skin is built for rider ergonomics and secure chest traction. It features the signature stylized Manta Eppo bat-wing branding along with “Air” and “Volatile” design markers indicating strategically balanced core flex zones.

• Back (White Slick): The high-density white slick bottom is built for pure velocity. It features a precision-molded Channel System near the tail that channels water flow tightly underneath the hull, drastically cutting down on drag while giving you a razor-sharp hold on steep, heavy wave faces.

Premium Features & Authenticity

• Made in Australia: Crafted locally in Australia with premium core materials built to withstand heavy ocean forces and resist premature creasing.

• Pre-Plugged & Decaled: Comes ready to go with a pre-installed heavy-duty central leash plug. The white slick features authentic, period-correct action sports stickers (including the iconic “No Fear” logo), adding an unmistakable vintage aesthetic whether you take it out to the lineup or display it as a collector’s piece.
