NeilPryde Combat Windsurf Sail 2019
IN A NUTSHELL...
The legendary NeilPryde Combat windsurf sail stands out as the sail of choice for any wave sailing conditions. No matter which spot, from side-offshore winds and perfect peeling waves to huge onshore white waters, the Combat will never disappoint.
Design details
ALL-ROUND WAVE
SIZES: 3.3 | 3.7 | 4.0 | 4.2 | 4.5 | 4.7 | 5.0 | 5.3 | 5.6
- Strong
- Light
- Wide wind range
- Versatile
- Stable
Designed for dynamic and aggressive sailors, the Combat delivers low end power when you need it, for as long as you want it. Light for jumping, stable for predictability, and strong for endurance – Combat is equipped to deal with whatever, whenever, and whoever.
FEATURES
- Wider batten layout on the lower sail area allows a softer, and forgiving handling under power up conditions.
- Tighter batten layout through the upper sail area provides greater stability.
- Flatten battens depowers the sail easily and results in a lighter feeling.
- Wide wind range: A large tuning range, thanks to a stable profile, allows the rider to trim the sail for all conditions.
- Versatile: Moderate and progressive luff curve for optimum maneuverability, speed and power in both onshore and side-shore conditions.
- Fuse pocket construction for a fully symmetrical batten cavity.
- Construction: Available in both clear and HD window.
- 4 battens configuration on all sizes.
DESIGNER’S COMMENT
We keep the overall shape of the sail and we add a new batten layout making the sail more stable, with less back-hand pressure that maintains drive and upwind performance. The Fuse Pocket construction in the wave and freestyle CORE:Series program, allows us to reduce the seam shaping and retain power with a much lighter feeling in the hands. A large tuning range, thanks to a stable profile, allows the rider to trim the sail for all conditions. In parallel, the Powerfuse allows us to reduce the weight while increasing the strength in critical sections making the Combat stronger than ever.
TECHNOLOGY
POWERFUSE
Powerfuse is a whole new way to reinforce and lighten the sail body by using an innovative material fusion method. Doing away with unnecessary patch reinforcements, seams and stitches, we created fully integrated, laminated panels of variable thickness that support localised loads and strengthen the sail where it needs it most.
FUSE POCKETS
Overlapping body panels create a sleeve for battens, eliminating the need for traditional, separate batten pockets. This saves on unnecessary weight, simplifies construction and creates a fully symmetrical batten cavity, eliminating the tendency of traditional batten pockets to load differently from one tack to another.
ARMOR ULTRA
High-strength rip-stop grid made of high-tenacity ULTRA yarns at +/-40 degrees. This yarn has a similar breaking strength to KevlarTM, but much better UV resistance. Available on The Fly / Combat / Wizard.
CUSTOM PRINTING
NeilPryde's custom printing technology allows them to print the films prior to lamination giving them the flexibility to use multi-coloured, custom graphics. The print is of minimal thickness, reducing weight and producing a higher definition of colour. During lamination the printed side is placed on the inside of the film so there is no need to worry about wear. Your sails will forever remain looking bright and fresh.
TWIN SEAMS
Double stitching is used on all critical seams on all sails allowing them to endure prolonged exposure to high loads and impacts.
