Tribal MK3 SLALOM

Ultimate speed with absolute control in chop, gusts and heavy water

Select your Size →

FASTER. SMOOTHER. MORE CONTROLLED.

The Slalom MK3 represents the sharpest edge of Tribal design. With a wider tip, smarter flex, a new v3 Slalom profile and development in Pre-Preg Carbon with zero twist lay-up, it delivers extreme grip and lift for wide boards while remaining smoother, calmer and easier to push than ever.

MK1 brought raw speed. MK2 added forgiveness. Now MK3 takes both to the next level. Championship winning DNA refined for more precision, balance and lift. It accelerates harder, holds the trim longer and stays planted when conditions get brutal. From rough chop to glassy speed strips, MK3 turns power into pure control so you can keep pushing your limits.

Why Apache-F differs from Race sails

Traditional Race sails can feel unstable or over-pressured on foil. Foil sailing creates lower water resistance, higher apparent wind, longer sustained pressure and a different load distribution.

Apache-F is engineered to work with the sail, not against it:

Lift without overpowering
Stable flight at high board speed
Progressive power release
Efficient drag reduction

What Makes APACHE-F Special

Efficient vertical Lift

Soft Cam Twist Technology

WHY WE BUILT MK3

As boards got wider and sails bigger, riders needed a fin with more grip and stability without losing speed. MK3 was created to give that control: more lift, more planted trim, more confidence in rough water. It’s the no-compromise solution for pushing harder, faster and longer on modern Slalom gear.

Smooth, controlled acceleration
Locked-in stability at higher speeds
Reliable grip in chop and gusty winds
Performs across a wide wind range (light to overpowered)

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Apache-F just Apache-R adapted for Foil?

No. It’s purpose-built for foil dynamics and higher wind conditions.

Is it suitable for Freeride Foil?

It can be used by advanced riders, but it has been designed primarily for competition.

Does it feel heavy?

No. Despite full Race construction, it feels balanced and efficient in the hands.

How does it compare to Race sails?

Foil sails generate lift differently. Apache-F optimises vertical lift and apparent wind efficiency instead of pure horizontal drag reduction.

What’s the difference between APACHE-F and APACHE-R?

Apache-R
• Designed for fin slalom
• Horizontal drag optimization
• Aggressive Race drive

Apache-F
• Designed for Foil dynamics
• Vertical lift optimization
• Apparent wind efficiency
• Long-heat endurance

Choose Apache-R for fin racing. Choose Apache-F for foil authority.
