YOU (STILL) WANT TO GIVE THE FASTEST GUYS AT YOUR SPOT A RUN FOR THEIR MONEY BUT DON’T WANT THE RIGGING HASSLE AND HEAVY HANDLING OF A CAM SAIL WHEN IT’S FILLED WITH WATER (ANYMORE). AND YOU WANT TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO EVEN USE THE RDM MASTS FROM YOUR WAVE SAILS WITHOUT ANY PERFORMANCE SACRIFICE. THEN THE X_PACE WILL BE YOUR WEAPON OF CHOICE!

The X_PACE project was born out of a personal demand from some of the o-50 guys in our department. Having been dedicated cam sail racers back in the days the wheel of time took its toll. Lifting a cam-sail being filled with water has simply become a dealbreaker. But these guys still have the speed-skills of being the fastest at their local spot.The biggest hurdle was to generate a similar pre-shaping including a “hump” in the luff panel even without cambers. After 2 years of development we have achieved this with a completely unique shaping concept which induces a similar (pre)shaping into the luff panel like seen on cambered racing sails. This heavy pre-shaping has also led to another decisive advantage as it allows to use either SDM or RDM masts. Usually RDM masts do not work on sails bigger than 6.5 as they are simply too soft. But the pre-shaping of the sail compensates for this to such an extent that there is no loss of performance compared to SDM masts.

The X_PACE generates power, acceleration, speed and a locked-in feel that rivals any cambered sail. The forward pull pushes you into a committed stance, allowing to let your board fly on the fin.And all of that combined with a super narrow mast sleeve. Combined with being one of the lightest freerace sails out there makes you lift the sail out of the water similar to a bigger wave sail. Last but not least the absence of cams makes the X_PACE rig as easy and fast as a wave sail. Here are some of the highlights of the brand-new X_PACE:7-batten design >> Directly derived from our World Cup cam racing sail WARP_FIN for ultimate control and stabilityIncreased pre-shaping >> Instant dragster-like acceleration similar to a race cam sail including the typical locked-in forward pullIncreased pre-shaping >> Board and sail feel more connected and gives the rider more board controlLots of luff curve >> Results in a high sail foil tension >> maximum high-end control and thus V-maxTriple XPly luff panel >> Allows to carry a high downhaul tension and greatly reduces stretch in the luff panel for maximum performance and stabilityMultiple tube battens >> Maximum stability and lower weightCARBON X_PLY in the in the high load luff area (top and foot) >> Maximum wind range (sail keeps the stability in stronger winds) Higher clew eyelet position >> Faster response for maximum performanceShorter Boom with increased Cutaway Clew >> Easy handling, better sail rotation through less swing weightLIGHT DONE RIGHT >> One of the lightest 7-batten Freerace sails out there but without sacrificing longterm durability proven by our unrivaled 5 YEAR WARRANTY

Sails Duotone X_Pace 2026

STRIPPED TO THE MAX: As light as a membrane construction, without its enormous disadvantages in terms of durability and “sponginess” profile stability

INTELLIGENT CARBON XPLY CONSTRUCTION D/LAB: CARBON XPLY in the high load top, foot and clew area and especially at the batten pockets guarantees unsurpassed low stretch and power transmission. However, the slightly more (re)flexing regular XPLY in the body avoids the power from becoming uncontrollable

ONE PIECE SLEEVE: No more seam at the leading edge >> 80 g lower weight and no hard spot through overlapping panels

SUPER-LIGHT BUMPER: The lightest protector on the market, with integrated downhaul trim indicator slot

VTS DOWNHAUL 2.0: Optional QUICK RIGGING PATCH allows "to the spot" downhaul trimming without even looking to the top (patent pending)

iROCKET 2.0: Factory calibrated individual batten tensions using a torque wrench
