V8

SKU: 140030

TWIN CAM FREERIDE

Race sail performance without the encumberments of a pure slalom sail. 2 cams and a narrower luff sleeve make the V8 easier to rig, gybe and waterstart than a pure race sail. Don’t let the ease of use fool you though, V8 can hold its own around a race course and boasts even better early planning than even the most advanced slalom sails. Perfectly suited for foil or fin.

Design Driven

INNOVATION

Designed and tested at our NeilPryde Maui Design Center by Robert Stroj, then further developed through our team riders' feedback from across the world. No stone is left uncovered in our relentless drive to be the best at what we do.

TECH HIGHLIGHTS

V8

AIRFLOW TUBULAR BATTENS

Directly derived from our slalom R&D, our airflow batten layout reduces drag and increases speed. Tubular battens offer light weight and optimum stability.

INTERNALLY PRINTED

Internally printed, laminated panels. Lightweight and durable.

Ultra clear window

Light weight and extra clear.

DOUBLE LUFF PANEL

Consisting of an overlaid monofilm panel and an X-Ply panel provide excellent stitch holding properties, for added strength in this extremely high-load area of the sail, and the responsive load distribution performance that using a single panel with no cross-stitching allows.

Sail Features

Our Fastest Freeride Sail

Borrowing concepts from the RS:Racing sail line, V8 is the fastest sail you will find that is not a fully race-tuned machine.

Ease of Use

Light-weight, stable profile and easier to rig than a full on race sail. Top speed and acceleration will be close to that of the RS:Racing but rigging, gybing and water starting will be easier due to the twin cam setup, slightly reduced downhaul tension and the narrower luff sleeve.

Fin or Foil

Equally at home on foil or fin, V8 will allow you to get the most out of every session, no matter where you are.

7 Batten Layout

Ultimate control and stability are provided by the 7 batten layout.

Twin Cam

2 mini cams offer the easiest possible rigging of a cambered sail while still providing the benefits of a locked front profile.
