AC-3 | Racing 026

Take all the weapons from a full-blooded competition slalom sail, strip the bulk, and sharpen the edge: welcome to the AC-3.

This machine carries the DNA of the AC-1 LTD but with a leaner mast sleeve and a refined profile that makes raw speed brutally easy. A medium luff pocket, savage low-end power, and a razor-smooth 3-cam rotation deliver instant planing and effortless acceleration.

The AC-3 is ridiculously light in the hands, locking your board into a steady hover above the water for maximum control and relentless speed. It flatters the nervous, empowers the hungry, and humiliates anything else in its class.

From early planing in nothing to charging fully overpowered, the AC-3 makes going fast feel almost unfair. It slices through the air, eats distance without effort, and points higher than you’d ever expect from a freerace sail.

AC-3: All the race, none of the drag. The easiest way to taste pure slalom dominance.

• Pure AC-1 LTD DNA – a real race sail, stripped and refined for every level.
• Nothing but speed – built to launch you ahead of the pack.
• Dangerously addictive – once you taste it, you’ll never look back.
• 20% slimmer mast sleeve – leaner, meaner, lighter and faster through the air.
• Brutal low-end power – planes earlier than anything else on the water having a lighter profile.
• 3-cam race rotation – smooth, precise, zero resistance.
• High-speed powerhouse – savage top-end with effortless handling.
• Ridiculously light in your hands – all drive, no drag.
• Explosively fast and razor sharp – easy to control, proved by _Taty Frans in PWA Slalom X.
• Light over board and water – feels invisible in the hands, delivers unstoppable speed.

The AC-3 doesn’t freerace: it dominates racing. From the moment you shut the gap, it unleashes raw acceleration, speed, and brutal control. No arm-pulling, no fighting, just pure balanced power driving through both hands as the sail keeps accelerating like it has no limits.

Relax your arms, lock in, and let your weight sink into its perfectly tuned profile. The AC-3 does the work, you just get dragged into faster, longer, meaner sessions. Jibes? Surgical. The light rotation snaps through so clean you’ll exit with more speed than you entered.

As the wind builds, the AC-3 doesn’t demand you rig down t0 a smaller size: it gets lighter, sharper, hungrier. Low, locked center of effort feeding straight into your stance, keeping the board floating high and controlled.

Balanced, ruthless, effortless. The AC-3 turns every run into drag racingand makes going stupid fast feel way too easy.

WHAT'S NEW:

Each size has been independently developed for 2026—no shortcuts, just precision. Introducing this year also a new 7.3 and 8.2 using both 460 masts. Making the 7.3 a powerful sail for light wind and the 8.3 a bigger sail but extremly light feeling.

RIG SETTINGS:

The AC-3  demands precision in its rigging. Start by inserting the mast on top of the cams. After pulling the downhaul to 15cm of the final setting, you have two options: either pop the cams on first, then adjust the downhaul and place the boom, or apply full downhaul first, pop the cams in, and finish by putting on the boom. You’ll find detailed instructions and videos in the support section on our website for more guidance.

Adjust the outhaul to either boost power or dial in more control. Tighten the lower two battens and the top batten, but for the rest, just remove wrinkles without overtightening.

Once you flip the sail, the 3-cam system delivers an effortlessly smooth and light rotation—perfect for quick transitions without losing that explosive power.
