ALL ROUND PERFORMANCE AND DURABILITY.

As NeilPryde’s all-round wave sail, the COMBAT is equally at home in all types of wave sailing conditions, from huge onshore white water to perfect side–offshore winds and peeling waves. This, in combination with the COMBAT’s “bomb proof” reinforced X-ply construction results in a sail that, no matter how much trouble you get yourself into, will see you on the other side.

• 100% X-ply construction, without the use of mono-film, to ensure durability.
• Relative to the Zone, the COMBAT has a similar aspect ratio, increased luff curve and more shaping delivering more power to the rider.
• The rotated sail body allows for instant de-powering during wave riding and manoeuvres.
• Moderate sail body shaping minimises the ‘sailing weight’, provides for softer rotation, and gives a more “neutral” feeling.
• Relatively more leech tension than the Zone. This improves upwind performance & early planing.
  
  For 2008:
• The COMBAT features less surface tension due to a reduction in luff curve.
• Reduced luff curve in the top section provides balance between power release (for side-shore action) while maintaining drive and upwind ability (for onshore conditions).
• A ‘hollow’ leech improves the twist in the upper part of the sail and prevents the mid-leech from loading up and “blowing out”, improving the stability and control.

Rider Quotes:

"When you’re traveling the globe searching for the best waves in the most unique locations you need a sail that can handle the conditions. This is why I choose the COMBAT. The sail works in any conditions and the best thing is, no matter how much of a mess you get yourself into, the COMBAT will survive so you can keep going."
