THE NEXT LEVEL OF JUMP AND WAVE CONTROL — CLASSIC HEAVY DUTY

 - Power Wave – HD version, yet ultra-light and exceptionally maneuverable.

 - Extra power, while still offering great agility.
 - 4 battens (3.6–5.1) | 5 battens (5.5–6.3)

Discover the all-new Apex — a new generation wave sail that redefines performance. Our Apex in a 4–5 batten setup complements the legendary Combat, focusing on explosive jumps, a wide wind range, and full control even when overpowered. Built for riders who demand power, stability, and control without sacrificing lightness or maneuverability, Apex combines the DNA of the award-winning Combat with extra low-end power and unwavering balance. The result is a true wave sail with a silky, effortless feel that elevates your riding in gusty or extreme conditions. Chosen by Marino for extreme jumps and by Robby and Morgan for the toughest Maui winds — Apex gives you the confidence to jump higher and ride harder.

Apex HD uses Power HD technology in the tack and clew, with Ultra-PE fibers precisely laid along the load paths, delivering quick response, maximum durability, and crisp control. The HD version features an X-Ply window panel for extra strength and even lower weight.

INNOVATION

Designed and tested at the NeilPryde Maui Design Center by Robert Stroj, then refined through feedback from our team riders around the world. No detail was overlooked in our ongoing pursuit of being the best at what we do.

In 2026, we proudly present Apex — a new generation wave sail redefining performance.

Built for riders who demand power, stability, and control without giving up lightness and maneuverability, Apex combines the DNA of the award-winning Combat with extra low-end ability and steady balance. The result is a true wave sail with a silky, effortless feel that improves your riding in gusty or extreme conditions.

Offering the widest range of use of any of our sails and feeling surprisingly light in the hands, Apex delivers plenty of low-end power, direct feel on the wave and in the air, and great top-end control. Our team riders loved this sail — we’re sure you will too!

Sail features:

Drive and acceleration
Apex develops the DNA of the award-winning Combat, taking low-end power, drive, and acceleration to a new level. Ideal for conditions from onshore to side-off — Apex will let you jump higher and catch waves faster than ever before.

Wide wind range
Taller and slightly wider than Combat, Apex was designed to react faster in the low end and handle more wind in the upper range thanks to a narrower head and higher aspect ratio.

Stability
A newly designed luff curve and 3D sail shaping have created a stable sail that doesn’t feel stiff in the hands. Effortless pumping, early planing, high speeds, and comfortable stability even in the strongest winds.

4 / 5 batten layout
To meet the demands of high-performance windsurfing across the entire wind range, Apex has 4 battens in the smaller sizes (3.6–5.1) and 5 battens in the larger sizes (5.5–6.3). This allows us to offer maximum performance for each size with the optimal stability-to-weight ratio across the range.

Increased size spacing
Thanks to Apex’s expanded wind range, we were able to increase the spacing between sizes, allowing a wider range of conditions to be covered with fewer sails — making storage and travel easier.

Replacing Atlas
Compared with Atlas, Apex is significantly more maneuverable and easier to handle. With its new outline and 4-batten configuration from 5.1 down, it feels more like a Combat on steroids than an Atlas. Instant power to get going and jump as high as possible, while maintaining extreme agility on the wave.
