WINDSURF TRAVEL HACKS: SARAH QUITA OFFRINGA!WINDSURF TRAVEL HACKS: SARAH QUITA OFFRINGA!Sarah Quita Offringa is the next to load the trolleys in our Windsurf Trave Hacks series! We hear her top tips on how to outwit those pesky check in agents and Sarahs packing tips and travel essentials!SARAH QUITA OFFRINGA!TOP FIVE TRAVEL HACKS!SQ: I think Ive made all the mistakes possible while travelling.So, the main travel hacks for me when travelling with gear. I make sure I arrive at the airport on time! I think thats my main travel hack! I try to book flights with the same airline, so your baggage gets checked through to the final destination. Its not fun to pick-up, re-check and pay for excess baggage 3 times on your way to BrazilAnd I always read the airlines sports baggage policy before booking my ticket!BOOKING TIPS? SQ: Im always late booking tickets and regret I waited so long when I usually look them up really early. Its like I cant pull the trigger on buying a ticket until its quite close to the date. So, book early. For baggage its usually better to pre-book. But if you can handle the stress with some companies you end up not paying if you havent booked the gear. On the other hand, they can also deny your baggage completely! So maybe better safe than sorry!TOP PACKING TIPS!SQ: If Im travelling with a whole set in one bag then I go sails first, then board, then wetsuit, towel or even yoga mat before I put the boom and mast. I always try to wrap some soft material around my boom head and clew so it doesnt puncture the board.Travel with your harness hook in your luggage. And finally if you have roof rack straps, I sometimes tie that around the bag so that the gear doesnt move on the inside.TRAVEL ESSENTIALSSQ: My diary in case of some creative bursts on the flight, I also have a Kindle and definitely decent quality noise cancelling headphones. And some comfy sweatpants!WINDOW OR AISLE?SQ: I dont really care about booking seats to be honest. But Im always disappointed when I end up in the middle!When I can choose though I prefer aisle seats to be able to move around more and go to the toilet. Its better sleeping in a window seat, but Id rather have the freedom of moving around!CHECK IN TIPS!SQ: I usually try to rock up in a happy mood. But mostly try to keep talking and asking questions ha ha!The post WINDSURF TRAVEL HACKS: SARAH QUITA OFFRINGA! appeared first on Windsurf Magazine Online.

Goya explain whats new across the line-up, while sail designer Jason Diffin explains the thinking behind the designs and the key improvements in the accompanying video.GOYA: The time has arrived and the new line up of Banzai sails is here with a performance-driven evolution.The new Banzai group consists of three wave sails sharing a common DNA of reflex, balance, durability, and long-term control, each tuned to deliver a distinct wave-riding experience.For this release, we focused on improving control and neutrality while preserving the power, drive, and response the Banzai range is known for.Maintaining the core features and focus of the Banzai range DNA, Precision, speed, efficiency, and performance focus Banzai 12 Maximum range and control across all conditions Banzai Max 2 Maximum neutrality and surf-oriented freedom Banzai Surf 2They all share some key updates: New foot outlines lower the draft and lock the load. Cleaner, tighter rotation through manoeuvres and transitions. Slightly lower clew for a more compact, settled feel. Refined twist profile for added neutrality without reducing drive.-The new X-Ply body panels increase stability, precision, quickness, and long-term durability throughout the entire Banzai range.Each Banzai model features 3 build ways,Pro is our standard construction. Offering a high-end performance with excellent durability and reduced weight.X Pro is built identically to the Pro version, but replaces the main window panel with full X-Ply construction.Pro Carbon build is the premium performance build way. Ultra-high-grade carbon laminates minimize elongation and maximize reflex response.BANZAI 12Banzai 12/ World Cup Performance Wave.Available in 3 constructions: Pro / X Pro and Pro Carbon.The Banzai 12 is a 4 batten sail Power when driven. Invisible when released.Fast, reactive, precision-focused. A high-performance wave sail designed for speed, aerial control,and technical riding.Banzai 12 is the core flagship model and delivers the most reactive and performance-oriented feel in the Banzai range.Compared to previous generations, Banzai 12 evolves toward greater control, cleaner release, and increased neutrality while maintaining its signature reactive feel.Marcilio Browne on the Banzai 12:I love the evolution of the Banzai 12. Weve been aiming to make the sail as efficient as possible, while keeping that softness, low-end power, and forward-driven feel. For me, jumping and wave riding complement each other perfectly. The sail has an improved the draft that makes my jumping better, and at the same time, that same pull drives my board on the wave. This sail lets me stop thinking and just ride, whether its my daily sessions at Hookipa or any spot in the world.Goya Windsurfing Sails WaveBANZAI SURF 2Banzai Max 2/ Maximum Range Wave.Available in 3 constructions: Pro / X Pro and Pro Carbon.The Banzai Surf 2 is a 4 batten sail Draw your own lines.A maneuver-oriented wave sail focused on neutrality and release.A shorter boom, lower clew, and lower centered lift keep the sail anchored close to the rider for maximum control and maneuverability.Compared to the Banzai 12 and Max 2, the Surf 2 carries a slightly higher aspect ratio and more compact handling character, creating lighter rotational feel and tighter surf-style arcs.Levi Siver on the Banzai Surf 2 :Weve been working on this type of sail throughout our entire windsurfing life, and the Surf 2 hits all the marks. Im getting the set waves, nailing the best position on the wave, with remarkable low-end acceleration, depowering the sail effortlessly on my wave rides, and connecting with the rails of the board. On top of that, the Surf 2 proves to be a great sail for back loops and beyond.THE BANZAI MAX 2Banzai Max 2 / Maximum Range Wave.Available in 3 constructions: Pro / X Pro and Pro Carbon.The Banzai Max 2 is a 5 batten sail Power when needed. Control when it matters.A wide-rangingstablewave sail, versatile and ready to handle all conditionsThe 5-batten layout increases overall stability while refined twist, lowered draft positioning, and a lower clew improve balance and top-end composure.Compared to the Banzai 12 and Surf 2, the Max 2 carries its lift slightly higher and more centered, promoting an upright, neutral stance with strong drive and controlled power delivery.Tyson Poor on the Banzai Max 2 :With the Max 2, Im looking for sail with the same DNA and liveliness of a wave sail. With the added stability and control of a 5-batten sail. Especially in the Gorge, It helps me to stay focused on my line. Instead of having to sheet the sail in and really trim it.The post THE NEW GOYA BANZAI GENERATION! appeared first on Windsurf Magazine Online.
