Pro Construction: Bi-Ply window, Scrim panels.
A blend of light weight feel, power, control and range with some extra juice when you need it. A new profile combined with a more unified twist from bottom to top creates a more efficient and lighter feeling sail giving you more range and control especially in down the line conditions.
Handling Characteristic: The lift is slightly higher up and further back compared to Banzai Surf Pro and Banzai Max Pro, which promotes a more upright feel but also gives a touch of back hand pressure for more throttle when you need it. A direct but flexible feel keeps you connected at all times during maneuvers. Banzai 11 Pro is our World Cup performance wave sail designed to win in all wave and maneuver conditions.
Construction and materials:
- 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 UV life of the product in comparison to a traditional monofilm.
- 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.
- 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.
- Carbon stretch control tapes are produced using bundles of pretensioned carbon fiber to ensure low stretch and zero crimp. Upgraded PSA adhesive allows for aggressive tack. The use of these tapes allows for lighter and more efficient patch and sail reinforcement.
- Upper window panels – 4 mil high quality Monfofilm from Dimension Polyant.
- Double stitching – Around the main window.
- Dacron Leech edge reinforcement.
- Folded rear/cut edge on mast sleeve to prevent fraying.
