Tribal MK3 SLALOM

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


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 riders choose Rapid

The "Lockwood" Feel

Designed by Chris Lockwood, the master of efficient speed. Low drag. Maximum glide.

Real World Tuned

Tested in real conditions on speed strips in France, Luderitz and the Netherlands.

The Ecosystem

Developed alongside our ASY and SYM speed fins. Board and fin speak the same language.

Premium Carbon Construction

Full Biax Carbon sandwich construction. Built for seasons, not headlines.

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)
