NEXT-LEVEL JUMP & WAVE CONTROL – CLASSIC HEAVY DUTY
Meet the brand-new Apex—designed for riders who demand explosive jump performance and unwavering stability in super-high winds. Inspired by the Combat’s legendary control, the Apex elevates the game with more back-hand power and enhanced stability and handling that never loses composure.
FULL DESCRIPTION
Meet the brand new Apex, a new generation of wave sail that redefines performance. Our 4 to 5-batten Apex complements the legendary Combat, focusing on explosive jumping, a wide wind range, and total control even when overpowered. Developed for riders who demand power, stability, and control without sacrificing lightness or agility, the Apex combines the DNA of the award-winning Combat with extra bottom-end drive 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 boundary-pushing jumps and by Robby and Morgan for the toughest Maui winds, the Apex inspires confidence to go bigger and ride harder.
Apex HD features Power HD Technology in the foot and clew, with Ultra PE yarns aligned precisely along load paths, delivering crisp response, maximum durability, and razor-sharp control. The HD version features an X-Ply window for extra strength and even lighter weight.
INNOVATION
Designed and tested at our NeilPryde Maui Design Center by Robert Stroj, then further developed through our team riders' feedback from across the world. No stone was left unturned in our relentless drive to be the best at what we do.
In 2026 we are proud to introduce the Apex, a new generation of wave sail that redefines performance.
Developed for riders who demand power, stability, and control without sacrificing lightness or agility, the Apex combines the DNA of the award-winning Combat with extra bottom-end drive and unwavering balance. The result is a true wave sail with a silky, effortless feel that elevates your riding in gusty or extreme conditions.
Offering the widest range of use of any sail we have ever created and feeling deceptively light in the hands, the Apex offers plenty of power in the low end, a direct feel on the wave and in the air, and plenty of control in the high end. Our team riders have fallen in love with this sail and we are sure you will too!
KEY FEATURES
DRIVE & ACCELERATION
The Apex builds on the DNA of our award-wining combat but takes low end power, drive and acceleration to a new level. Ideal for all conditions from onshore to side-off, Apex will have you jumping higher and getting out quicker more waves than ever before.
WIDE WIND RANGE
Taller and slightly wider than the Combat, the Apex is designed to get going quicker in the low end and handle more wind in the high end due to the narrower head and higher aspect ratio.
STABILITY
Our newly designed luff curve and 3D-designed sail shaping have allowed us to create a stable sail that doesn't feel stiff in the hands. Effortless pumping, early planing, high top speeds and comfortable stability, even in the highest of high winds.
4 / 5 BATTEN LAYOUT
To cater for the demands of high-performance windsurfing across the entire wind range, the Apex features 5 battens in the larger sizes, from 5.1-6.3 and 4 battens in the smaller sizes from 3.6-4.7. This allows us to offer maximum performance per sail size with the optimum stability to weight ratio across the entire range.
INCREASED SIZE SPACING
Due to the increased wind-range of the Apex, we have been able to increase the gaps between the sizes to in order to cover a wider range of conditions with less sails in order to allow for easier storage and travel.
REPLACING THE ATLAS
Compared to the Atlas, the Apex is far more agile and user friendly. With the new outline and 4 batten configurations from 5.1 and down, it feels less like an Atlas and more like a Combat on steroids. Instant power to get you going and allow you to jump as high as possible but still extremely manoeuvrable on the wave!

from 131 reviewsNice to not have to rinse the charging pins on the woo after every session ;)
great communication and delivered the product when they said. Would definitely use again!
I cannot sing enough praises for H2O Sports! I have over the years made small purchases because they’ve been the most competitive online but recently I bought some new wing foiling kit and there was some slight damage to the alloy mast - well H2O’s aftercare was second to none!! They were instantly chasing down a replacement part and happy for me to be using the old part (albeit a bit bent) whilst waiting for the replacement. So refreshing to experience such great customer service.
Many many Thanks! - will be ordering more and more from this company!!!
Great buying experience. Great prices and delivered quickly. Thanks Guys.
After purchasing this wing earlier this year it has noticeably made tacks so much smoother and overall upgraded my riding. I bought the 3.0 and 5.0 metre and my 3.0m flies very well in both underpowered and overpowered conditions
I purchased the Unit SLS 2025 wing earlier this year and it has made tacks so much smoother and upgraded my riding. I also bought the Duotone Carve 3.0 D/LAB 2025 with the 800 front wing and once again it’s been a game changer, having a great amount of glide which works perfectly for both wingfoiling and kitefoiling!
All thanks to the H2O team that always have loads of knowledge, passion for watersports and go above and beyond!
Preferring not to throw away my (now discontinued) North Red boom which had a broken cuff, I called H2O to see if there was any way to salvage it. I spoke with Matt who was very knowledgeable and helpful but came off the phone somewhat resigned that I might not be able to get the part. However to my surprise a little while later I was blown away (with a force 5) when I got a call to tell me he’d sourced one for me. And here I am now, a week on, with all the bits I need to get back on the water; whoever said people don’t have time to help others! So the moral of this story is have a little faith and try H2O!

Ordered a 1350 Glide 2.0 to progress on to from my 1750 aero free. Being a heavier rider I've found it's now my go to foil wing, initially a bit harder to get on the foil compared to the aero free but once up it feels completely effort less! Thanks to the team for getting me sorted out 🤙
James, Matt and the H20 Team are absolute gurus of the water sports industry, friendly, helpful and knowledgable. They will always give the right advice and come up with superb deals and first class support, thanks guys for always helping me to make the right decisions over the last 20 + years!
My new mast arrived from H20. Sports and it was so worth the wait. You immediately notice how much stiffer it is compared to the v1 carbon version when riding. The foil feels more responsive and direct .It also glides longer in transition s and riding bumps.
Its well worth the upgrade in my opinion.
I bpught this wing to replacr my Unit 5.5 m wing for tje summer breezes as i never liked using big wings. This wing is really powerful in the low end and allows you to pump really efficiently to get on foil with a bit of technique.
You can size down by half a metre with this wing compared to a Unit.
Its still fast and so good iwhen you roll into a tack.
Perfect quiver would be a 3 m , 4m & a 5 m in the Float for all conditions.
Its a great price too as lower than Dlab and SLS wings but with great performance.
As one of the H2O riders I have really enjoyed the variety of kit H2O have available. Including the Duotone sky surf 35Ltr which quickly become my favourite board because of its shorter and thicker shape while being low in litres it still allows me to get it out the water in some lighter winds. However it comes into its own when the wind is strong and the waves are pumping with its incredible manoeuvrability. Paired with the Duotone units (that are light weight and precisely balanced) wave riding is a dream.
I've been one of those riders who thought one board was enough. Turns out a downwind board has opened up so many more days on the water. I cant believe how easy this beast gets going in 6 knots. I use my 8' board with the 1100 and 1595 Duotone Glide. It's like a whole new sport. Whilst I've tried paddling up, I think I'll stick to winging for now (although can't wait to try the Stash Parawing).
Lots of the benefits of the DLAB Unit but without the price tag. Strong, light, and powerful. It's been great in all conditions, handles really well when over powered. I bought the 3.5, 4.5 and 5.5 to cover all eventualities. Personally I prefer the handle option which works really well with my harness. Matt and the team really helpful in deciding on the sizing.
