Banzai Max Pro.
Maximum Range Wave.
Extra control and range in wide ranging conditions, the all new Banzai Max is our 5 batten wave sail. 5 Battens bring increased stability overall and higher top end speeds.
Its handling characteristic puts the lift slightly higher up and centered compared to the Banzai 11 and Banzai Surf which promotes a more upright but neutral feel. This gives a great drive and low end power but also great control in the high end.
Feeling.
The Banzai Max has a stable and controlled feel with the lift up and 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. The UV inhibitors in the adhesive significantly increases the life of the product in comparison to traditional Monofilm.
Upper window panels: 4 mil high quality Monofilm from Dimension Polyant.
Upper body color panels: 2.5 mil Scrim from Dimension-Polyant is a polyester scrim plus X-PLY ® which are designed for reduced weight while still offering 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 Max is a moderate aspect outline with a medium length boom, like Banzai 11, compared to Banzai Surf.
Agility.
The Banzai Max receives a fifth batten for increased stability, yet lives up to the liveliness of the original Banzai concept.
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.
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.
Scrim Body Panels.
Scrim is one third lighter than X-Ply and effectively stops tears from traveling. Its feeling is direct yet supple and gives sails an organic, smooth and alive touch. With scrim, the energy transfer from wind to membrane to stretch control to boom and into the rider’s hands is instant and electrifying.
Additional Aramid Foot Panels. Found in our reinforced foot material, an additional blend of Aramid fibers provide increased protection against any deformations happening in the first place and against punctures from traveling, full stop.
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.
