Refined speed. Extreme control.
Tribal MK2 SLALOM
Maximum performance with more confidence in real world conditions
FAST JUST GOT SMARTER.
The MK2 takes the raw power of MK1 and makes it smarter: faster downwind, more forgiving through gybes and rock solid in chop and gusts. Built with precision with zero twist lay-up, it offers unmatched consistency, control and speed. MK2 is the best choice for racers and GPS sailors.
MK1 proved its speed. But riders wanted more ease, especially in rough water, gybes and gusts. That’s why we developed MK2. With a refined outline, tuned flex and optimised twist, MK2 keeps the locked-in drive of MK1 but adds smoother handling, more forgiveness and better efficiency across a broader wind range.
From choppy lakes to glassy speed strips, MK2 gives you speed you can push longer, harder and with less stress.
WHY WE EVOLVED MK1 INTO MK2
MK1 set the standard for slalom speed in G10, but top riders wanted greater ease in challenging conditions. The Carbon MK2 refined the design to make that speed easier to hold: softer response in gusts, cleaner exits from gybes and steadier trim in chop.
It’s not just evolution! It’s performance made more usable.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does MK2 compare to MK1?
Same top end speed, but smoother through gybes and more forgiving in chop.
How does MK2 compare to MK3?
MK3 has a bit more low-end, ideal to push hard after the gybe. It also allows you to fly your board a bit higher on the water resulting in smoother handling of the chop. Ideal for downwind Slalom competition. MK2 has a higher end-speed and a bit more control in extreme conditions, but can be a bit slippery when pushing hard in low-end.
Do I size MK2 differently than MK1?
No, sizing is consistent. MK2 just gives you more control in stronger wind.
Can intermediate racers use MK2?
Yes, it delivers pro level speed but with forgiveness that makes it easier to handle.
Does MK2 really feel identical across sizes?
Yes, thanks to the precision Pre-Preg carbon lay-up, every size has the same flex and feel.
