Keynote.

Banzai Max 2 Pro Carbon is the pinnacle of performance on the Max platform—built for maximum speed, shape stability, reflex response, and composure under load.

Intro.

Banzai Max 2 Pro Carbon is the ultimate maximum-speed, range, and control wave sail in the Banzai range.

A stable, fast, powerful, and composed sail built for riders demanding the highest top-end speed, drive, and control through gusts, overpowering wind, and changing conditions, the 5-batten platform delivers a calm, centered pull with exceptional stability.

Best for powered sailing, variable/gusting winds, heavier riders, and sailors who want fewer sail changes with greater control across a wider usable wind range. Built for stability, speed, and drive with extended range.

Power when needed. Control when it matters.

Defi Wind, WWT, and PWA World Cup approved.

Sizes: Available 3.7, 4.0, 4.2, 4.5, 4.7, 5.0, 5.3, 5.6, 5.9, 6.2 square meters.

Colors: Available in Fluorescent Yellow with Black logos.

Feeling.

The Banzai Max 2 Pro Carbon delivers the most stable and controlled feel in the Banzai range.

Instant acceleration, centered lift, and exceptional reflex response create calm, neutral handling with powerful drive and outstanding top-end confidence.

The result is maximum range, stability, and speed with exceptional control under pressure.

Speed.

The fastest of the Banzai range due to its unmatched stability, allowing you to reach top speeds with more control. The perfect blend of blasting speed with wave agility. Warp Carbon technology maintains the sail’s shape even in the biggest gusts, delivering more speed and control.

Description.

The Banzai Max 2 Pro Carbon carries its lift slightly higher and more centered, promoting an upright, neutral stance with strong drive and controlled power delivery.

The 5-batten layout increases overall stability while refined twist, lowered draft positioning, and a lower clew improve balance and top-end composure.

A unified twist profile improves load distribution and preserves stability through gusts and changing conditions.

Banzai Max 2 Pro Carbon stays locked in and composed when the wind spikes, while maintaining responsive handling and maneuver-oriented freedom.

Pro Carbon is the pinnacle performance build within the Goya range.

Developed for riders seeking the highest level of responsiveness, shape integrity, reflex response, and control under load.

Premium carbon laminates preserve the designed profile deeper into powered and demanding conditions, delivering faster response, cleaner release, and exceptional composure when performance matters most.

Outline.

The Banzai Max 2 shares the same outline as the Banzai 12, which features a larger foot outline and a lower clew, keeping the sail anchored around the rider for increased control and stability. A reduced head outline lightens the sail in the hands, enhancing its neutral, effortless feel through every turn. The 5-batten layout increases the overall stability of the sail, especially in demanding conditions.

Highlights.

Stretch Control.

Carbon Radial Stretch Control further enhances stability, reflex response, and range by integrating low-stretch carbon tendons into the sail structure. The result is a more connected and precise feel with improved load retention and cleaner energy transfer.

CNC Battens.

Lightweight, CAD-shaped, CNC-machined, ultra-durable, custom-thickness, and tailored-taper battens. Adding structural perfection to the material sophistication of our film panels.

Circular Leech.

The Circular Leech Outline concept delivers additional power, especially in the larger sizes where efficient drive is critical. Increased chord length through the midsection creates more usable power while avoiding excessive boom length, head size, or foot area. The result is a sail that combines strong low-end performance and range with a lighter, smaller feel in the hands during powered sailing and maneuvers.

Agility.

The sail remains balanced and composed when fully powered while preserving fluid response and connected handling through maneuvers.

Aramid Poly Clew System.

The Poly Clew System allows riders to fine-tune power, control, and maneuverability without changing sail size. The aramid attachment point provides exceptional durability with minimal weight.

Details.

The details are not the details. They make the design.

Ripstop Mast Sleeve.

Our proprietary custom mast sleeve material features ultra-strong horizontal ripstop fibers that help prevent tears from spreading in the event of a mast breakage. This helps protect the sail, reduces damage, and increases the likelihood of the sail remaining repairable and usable. The sleeve is double stitched to the sail, creating an exceptionally strong connection and enhancing overall durability.

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.

Folded Sleeve Edge.

Along the rear edges of the mast sleeve, preventing fraying and premature wear and tear.

Sleeve Opener.

At the top of the boom cut out. Makes sliding the mast into the sleeve that much more quick and easy.

Anti-Chafe Batten Ends.

Protecting the batten pocket leech ends of your sail when rigging on rough surfaces.

Tack Stitch Protection.

Safeguarding the tack area of your sail against stitch breaking from rough board textures.

Hanging Loop.

Lets you hang your sail to dry, or tie a rope, or stick a screwdriver to pull the mast when derigging.

Soft Foot Piping.

Protecting your shins during tweaked maneuvers on wave sails, and your sail against the board deck on flatwater sails.

6:1 Stainless Pulley.

Using all three rolls for an optimized power ratio.

USA Made Films.

All films on all Goya Windsurfing sails are made by Dimension-Polyant in the USA to our rigorous quality standards.

Batten Tension.

Before rigging your sail for the first time.

Batten tension is an important tuning detail and should be set before the sail is downhauled. This allows the sail shape to settle correctly and ensures the most accurate representation of the design from the very first session. Taking a few moments to tension the battens yourself establishes the proper foundation for sail shape, stability, rotation, and overall performance. If the sail has already been rigged without first tensioning the battens, completely release the downhaul and outhaul, tension the battens correctly, then re-rig the sail.

How to tension the battens:
• Unroll the sail flat on the ground.
• Insert the Goya Windsurfing batten tensioner (included with every sail) into each batten end.
• Tension the lower battens: Apply enough tension to create a clearly defined shape.
• Tension the upper battens: Apply only enough tension to remove play and hold the batten firmly in place. Do not force additional shape into the sail.
• Avoid overtightening.

A batten may need more tension if:
• Vertical wrinkles appear alongside the batten when the sail is rigged.

A batten may need less tension if:
• It becomes difficult to rotate from side to side.
• It develops an “S” shape.
• It interferes with clean leech release.

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.
