TWIN CAM FREERIDE
-
Our original, best-selling power freeride sail
-
Twin cams for stability; narrower wind range compared to racing sails for easy handling
-
Equally comfortable on a fin and Foil
-
7-batten layout
Race-sail performance without the limitations of a pure slalom sail. Two cams and a narrow windward range make the V8 easier to rig, jibe, and water-start than a pure race sail. But don’t let the easy handling fool you: The V8 also holds its own on the race course and offers faster early planing than many advanced slalom sails.
For 2026, the foot and clew panels have been reinforced with Ultra PE X-Ply, which increases durability while reducing weight.
