Item # npco457zz-neilpryde-sails
The most versatile of the wave sails, the Neilpryde Combat is equally at home in huge onshore white water or side-offshore winds and peeling waves. This, combined with the Combat's 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.
Key Features of the Neilpryde Combat Windsurfing Sail 4.5m:
Similar aspect ratio to the Zone, but with additional shaping (draft) and luff curve. By retaining a similar aspect ratio to the Zone, it delivers a light, manoeuvrable sail for side shore conditions; while moderate shaping provides the power necessary for onshore conditions.
A medium rotated sail body allows for instant depower during wave riding and manoeuvres.
More leech tension than the Zone. This improves upwind performance and early planing.
Increased luff curve (compared to the Zone) provides smooth power, stability and direct drive.
100% X-ply sail body, no use of mono-film. This greatly enhances durability.
Introduction of a more progressive luff-curve that allows the sail to twist under load – but retains leech tension where needed in the area immediately above the boom.
Less shaping under the battens reduces the "sailing weight" of the COMBAT and provides for softer rotation, and a more “neutral” feeling sail.
