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.
