Construction

Pro Scrim & X-Ply

Scrim Body Panels. The colored Scrim material used in the main panels offers super strong durability, super light weight and a supple and alive feel throughout the sail.

X-Ply Window Panels. X-Ply offers the same weight and feel of a clear window construction. The difference is increased durability through improved tear resistance. X-Ply film reinforced with yarns is incredibly tear resistant, the perfect body panel material for people looking for maximum durability. Featured on Banzai X, Guru, Scion.

Hybrid dacron/scrim luff panels, Carbon Stretch Control, Poly Clew Titanium Clew Rings, Rip Stop Sleeve and a Molded Tack Fairing round off the peak quality package. Sleeve cut treatments as well as tack and foot reinforcements are now folded to increase durability and prevent edge fraying. A wider scalloped upper leech reinforcement prevents breakdown of the leech from fluttering in strong wind conditions such as Omaezaki, the Gorge and Pozo.

I have banzai for many years. And they still perform incredibly well. Would like to have seen the yellow and blue more for sale.

Our season is almost over now and we have had lots of great sailing all summer at Margaret River.
I am truly loving the Banzai X 5.7.
It is without a doubt the best sail I have ever used.
So good in fact I haven't even tried the brand new 5.7 Fringe I got at the same time yet.
Well done crew.

Sailed again yesterday in pretty solid wind with the 5.7 Banzai X (90kg kiters were out with 7m2 kites, no other windsurfers).

I really liked the stability at the top end of the and it was probably a real solid 22 knots which is quite a bit for a 5.7.

I am yet to see how it performs in the super-light wind but I'm sure it gunna be great given the performance of the previous ones.

And its truly good to see less pink in the sail mate.

I think adding the X-ply to the window is the one smart move.

Another one of the greatest things with the banzai is changing the clews while sailing.

This allows you go out through the current with the sail really full and then depower to ride or simply adjust the sail to changes in the wind.

Just like reefing down the sail of a yacht.

One thing that seems apparent on using the sails twice is that the X-ply window seem less likely to crease when rigging and un-rigging which will definitely help extend the life of the window and the sail.
