Haven’t had the opportunity to try the sail yet but it looks great!
Slalom DNA! Tribal Soul!
Tribal RADIX SLALOM V4
Lock in. Accelerate. Leave everyone behind. Speed has never been this easy!
RADIX is back. Shorter. Looser. More alive.
The new Tribal Radix V4 is built for riders who crave the blistering speed of PWA race gear, but without the physical struggle or the fragile construction. We listened to the Tribe and evolved the shape: 2 cm shorter, a deeper deck concave and a narrower tail.
Most Slalom boards are designed for 100kg Pro riders in perfect conditions. The Radix is designed for YOU. It gives you that "free" and loose sensation under your feet, yet bites hard exactly when you need it to. Where full-race boards punish you in the chop, the Radix gives you the confidence to push even harder.

FIELD-PROVEN PERFORMANCE
The Radix isn't a concept; it's a proven weapon. Tested in the Real World. Before release, this shape was subjected to months of rigorous testing in varying conditions, from light wind cruising to overpowered survival mode.
The Verdict: the combination of the shortened outline and deep deck proved to be the "magic formula" for stability. Test riders consistently reported higher 10-second average speeds because they didn't have to "back off" when hitting a gust. The board stays trim, allowing you to trust your gear 100%!

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the board shorter (237cm)?
During our R&D, we found that 237cm is the perfect "sweet spot." It retains the passive stability the Radix is famous for but makes the board more responsive and playful. The reduced swing weight means the board reacts faster to your foot steering.
What is the benefit of the Deeper Deck Concave?
Two main benefits: Stiffness and Control. Deepening the deck shape creates a stiffer platform structure. Additionally, it lowers your stance relative to the water surface, giving you more leverage over the fin and much more control in heavy gusts.
Is the Radix difficult to sail?
No. While the board hits PWA speeds, we smoothed out the "sharp edges" that make pure Slalom boards so nervous. If you are comfortable in footstraps, you can sail the Radix!
Radix is designed by Chris Lockwood, the master of efficient speed. His shapes are legendary for having zero drag and infinite glide.
Which fin works best?
When the board and fin "speak the same language," the performance gain is massive. The Radix is tuned for our Tribal MK3 or PowerMax fins. Due to the new shape (narrower tail), you can often sail a fin 1 to 2 cm smaller than you are used to.
