Introducing the NeilPryde V8 2026.
TWIN CAM FREERIDE
-
Our original, best-selling power freeride sail
-
Twin cams for stability, narrow windward area compared to racing sails for easy handling
-
Equally comfortable on fin and foil
-
7-batten layout
Race sail performance without the limitations of a pure slalom sail. 2 cams and a narrow windward area make the V8 easier to rig, jibe, and waterstart than a pure race sail. But don't be fooled by its easy handling: the V8 also performs well 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.
