Description.
The 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.
Larger sizes feature a more circular leech outline to maintain compact handling and lighter rotational feel throughout the range.
Banzai Max 2 stays locked in and composed when the wind spikes, while remaining responsive and maneuverable when the surf lines up.
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.
Stretch Control.
Radial Stretch Control significantly increases sail stability and range by keeping the lower section full and powerful, the mid-section locked and stable, and the upper section free to twist efficiently. The result is a sail that feels exceptionally light in the hands, balanced, and comfortable across a wide wind range. Radial Stretch Control tendons minimize stretch, distribute loads efficiently, and allow for the lightest and most effective reinforcement layout possible.
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.
