Directly derived from the RS:RACING development program, the V8 offers true race sail performance without the downsides.
Extreme early planning, soft rotation, wide wind range, great upwind and top end control, the V8 has the extra power and drive needed to accelerate and go fast on high performance boards.
The Twin cams and deep profile will help you keep your planing through the lulls and maintain top-end speed.
The sail configuration makes it considerably lighter in maneuvers and less physical than pure race sails. Slalom for everyone / non stop planing.
Design Details
_race like feel performance
Race inspired luff sleeve and deep, powerful profile combined with airflow battens layout and integracams.
_easy handling of a freeride sail
Easy rigging - requires less downhaul tension than a pure race sail and only 2 cams which also make jibing rotation extremely soft and effortless.
_foil compatibility
It actually became our sail of choice when learning, testing and developing our Windfoil program thanks to early planning and profile stability when on the foil.
