X Pro Construction: X-Ply window, Scrim panels. New black yarn for the X-Ply window to improve visibility as the common white ones have a sort of reflective effect ending up to worsen visibility).
Extra control and range in wide ranging conditions, the all new Banzai Max Pro is the 5 batten wave sail. 5 Battens bring increased stability overall and higher top end speeds.
Handling characteristic: The lift is positioned slightly higher up and centered compared to the Banzai 11 Pro and Banzai Surf Pro 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.
Construction and materials:
- Main window panel – 6 mil X-Ply Film features a black Ultra-PE fiber that provides high modulus stretch resistance and high tensile tear strength. The fiber configuration allows for maximum fiber performance while also blending into the background. Black yarns are ultra low reflection, meaning they absorb all the light and move towards vanishing in appearance as you look through the sail, offering the best possible, undistracted view through the window of the sail. This window style virtually eliminates ghosting impressions while 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 – 5 mil Dimension-Polyant polyester X-PLY® styles are designed for reduced stretch and increased tear resistance
- Double stitching – Around the main window.
- Dacron Leech edge reinforcement.
- Folded rear/cut edge on mast sleeve to prevent fraying.
