X Pro.
Generation 1.
Generation 1.
Five Batten maximum range, high end control wave sail.
Available in 3.7, 4.0, 4.2, 4.5, 4.7, 5.0, 5.3, 5.5, 5.7, 6.0, 6.3 square meters.
IWT and PWA World Cup Approved.
X Pro Construction, X-Ply window, Scrim panels.
Available in Red with Fluo Yellow logos.
The Banzai Max has a stable and controlled feel with the lift up and centered.
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.
Upper window panels: 5 mil Dimension-Polyant polyester X-PLY® styles are designed for reduced stretch and increased tear resistance
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.
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.
Extra control and range in wide ranging conditions, the all new Banzai Max is our 5 batten wave sail. 5 Battens bring increased stability overall and higher top end speeds.
Its handling characteristic puts the lift slightly higher up and centered compared to the Banzai 11 and Banzai Surf 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.
Banzai Max is a moderate aspect outline with a medium length boom, like Banzai 11, compared to Banzai Surf.
The Banzai Max receives a fifth batten for increased stability, yet lives up to the liveliness of the original Banzai concept.
Warp Carbon Stretch Control
Massively increases the stability and range of our sails by keeping the low section full, the mid section stable and the top section properly twisting. Resulting in a super light handling sail with a highly comfortable feeling. All new Warp Carbon tendons ensure minimum stretch and crimp, while allowing for lightest and most efficient patching.
EPOXY CNC Battens
Lightweight, CAD shaped, CNC machined, ultra-durable, custom thickness, and tailored taper battens.
Double Stitching
Around the main window, providing torsional strength, increased durability by reinforcing key load zones and blended transitions between different panel materials.
Rip Stop Sleeve
The sleeve material on all our sails is a special weave preventing tears from traveling and holes from widening. Making your sail look and perform better for longer.
Folded Sleeve Edge
Along the rear edges of the mast sleeve, preventing fraying and premature wear and tear.
Tack Fairing
Molded and stitched, this ultra durable tack fairing offers protection for your board and feet, aerodynamics around your extension and a place to store your downhaul rope. Made from abrasion resistant textile, it even protects itself.
Offering you a sail with no single panel unprotected, period. As much as we invest into our Bi-Ply wave window technology and as much as we trust our Monofilm freeride window quality, there’s nothing quite as dependable as X-Ply, especially when you’re treading far away from civilization and the conditions are firing.
Scrim body panels. Scrim is one third lighter than X-Ply and effectively stops tears from traveling. Its feeling is direct yet supple and gives sails an organic, smooth and alive touch. With scrim, the energy transfer from wind to membrane to stretch control to boom and into the rider’s hands is instant and electrifying.
Aramid foot panels. Found in our reinforced foot material, an additional blend of Aramid fibers provide increased protection against any deformations happening in the first place and against punctures from traveling, full stop.
Extended Window. For augmented visibility down the line and at the lip while bottom turning in wave sailing, as well as facilitated overview at the sailors around you in freeriding.
Black Window Frame. For best optics through the sail, ultra low reflection, ultra low distraction. The black frame has been a conscious as well as a unifying choice and provides total vision of your surroundings.
Black Window Yarns. Ultra Low Reflection. Black X-Ply yarns 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.

Hi Team Quatro! I recently bought a 94l power as my bump and jump lowend weapon to be used in sub average conditions in North West Germany (side-on, onshore small waves; sometimes flat-water with messy chop). Right now my biggest sail is a Banzai Pro 5.3, which gets me going at around 19 knots.
I would like to get a bigger size Banzai Max soon. Do you really think, I can ride the board with a 6.0m Banzai Max or should I go for the 5.7m sail? I appreciate your feedback!
So far the board has been really impressive. Agile but stable at the same time. Thanks! Philip
Response: Aloha Philip,
Thank you for reaching out and for your trust, and stoked on our products. Let me cc my colleague Tom, whom you might know here or might have sailed together.
Your weight will be the only factor that determines whether you can plug a 6.0.
Something else to consider is the mast you combine it with and how light and fast it is. One of the nice features of our masts is their interconnectability across sizes. So on the 5.7, you can plug in the 430 base with a 400 top, making your masts even lighter.
Looking forward to hearing back from you,
Francisco
Dear
I tried the Banzai Max two days ago in Wissant France. The 5.7 size. That was really confortable, not too big; Really happy about the sail for my first try. Just wondering wich mast you reco, the 100% or the 80%.
Thanks
Denis
Response: Hello Denis,
For this size of sail, Banzai max 5,7, I will go with the 100% mast to get better response in the light wind range, unless you have a strong shorebreak/surf where you might need the 80%.
Cheers
Bonne Glisse.
