Banzai Surf Iris Carbon.
Control Surf Wave.
A focus on maximum maneuverability and control in surf and surf like conditions. This all new design has a very neutral feel. You are free to draw your own lines on the wave and surf exactly how you want. Effortless drive and lightness allowing you to sail for hours.
Banzai Surf feels a bit higher aspect with a shorter boom compared to Banzai 11 and Banzai Max. This, combined with the lower and more centered positioned lift, gives you a balanced neutral feel for maximum control and maneuverability. This also makes the sail feel super light in your hands, allowing you to sail for longer and be in complete control when wave riding. The power never pulls too much or too little but is always there when you need it.
If you are looking for a size 5.5 or bigger, we highly recommend the Banzai 11. When the wind gets lighter, we want to give you maximum power and early planing, and the Banzai 11 really shines in that range.
Feeling.
The Banzai Surf has a light and neutral feel with the lift centered.
Construction.
Main window panel: 6 mil Bi-PLY from Dimension Polyant features two 3 mil layers of PET film. This creates a softer hand, improved flex and reduced creasing.
Upper window panels: 4 mil high quality Monofilm from Dimension Polyant.
Upper color body panels: 1.5 mil Ultra low stretch linear Warp Carbon fiber laminate yarns arrayed to control load lines in the sail combined with super strong Technora Aramid X-Ply.
Lower body color panels: 2.5 mil Scrim from Dimension-Polyant is a polyester scrim plus X-PLY ® designed for reduced weight while still offering the reduced stretch of a traditional X-PLY ® only product.
Foot/Tack panel: 4 mil Aramid Scrim has an upgraded scrim with larger denier fibers, while still keeping the high tenacity aramid X-PLY ®. It has a much greater tear and puncture resistance at the highest impact of pure wave riding.
Outline.
Banzai Surf is more of a high aspect outline with a shorter length boom, compared to Banzai 11 and Banzai Max.
Agility.
Maximum maneuverability and control. Effortless drive and lightness. Very neutral feel.
Highlights
Warp Carbon Stretch Control
Massively increases the stability and range of our sails by keeping the low section full, the mid section stable and the top section properly twisting. Resulting in a super light handling sail with a highly comfortable feeling. All new Warp Carbon tendons ensure minimum stretch and crimp, while allowing for lightest and most efficient patching.
EPOXY CNC Battens
Lightweight, CAD shaped, CNC machined, ultra-durable, custom thickness and tailored taper battens.
Double Stitching
Around the main window, providing torsional strength, increased durability by reinforcing key load zones and blended transitions between different panel materials.
Rip Stop Sleeve
The sleeve material on all our sails is a special weave preventing tears from traveling and holes from widening. Making your sail look and perform better for longer.
Folded Sleeve Edge
Along the rear edges of the mast sleeve, preventing fraying and premature wear and tear.
Tack Fairing
Molded and stitched, this ultra durable tack fairing offers protection for your board and feet, aerodynamics around your extension and a place to store your downhaul rope. Made from abrasion resistant textile, it even protects itself.
Warp Carbon.
Magically improved handling. Pushes everything we love about our Scrim builds to the next level. More reactive. More nimble. All new Warp Carbon technology provides foundational stability in the profile shape. The material becomes the framework. Reinforced with an Aramid mesh for exceptional resilience. Warp Carbon body panels are 1.5 mil for paramount emphasis on light weight.
Window.
Extended Window. For augmented visibility down the line and at the lip while bottom turning in wave sailing, as well as facilitated overview at the sailors around you in freeriding.
Black Window Frame. For best optics through the sail, ultra low reflection, ultra low distraction. The black frame has been a conscious as well as a unifying choice and provides total vision of your surroundings.
