COMBAT HD

CORE WAVE – CLASSIC HEAVY DUTY

Completely redesigned for 2024.

A higher aspect design featuring a slightly longer mast, wider head and narrower boom greatly increases high end control in this year’s edition of our best-selling wave sail.

HD construction is our most economical construction but don’t let the price tag fool you. An Ultra-PE X-Ply sail body with an X-Ply centre window form an extremely durable sail which is still light in the hands. The addition of Powerfuse in the tack and clew of our 2024 HD construction marks a significant upgrade to previous HD models and offers pro-level strength to weight ratio at a more affordable price than Pro-Fuse.

Designed and tested at our NeilPryde Maui Design Center by Robert Stroj, then further developed through our team riders' feedback from across the world. No stone is left uncovered in our relentless drive to be the best at what we do.

For 2024, we re-invented our wave sail range from the bottom up. We started at the 3D design level, creating new panel layouts and using new materials to eliminate stitches, reduce weight and increase responsiveness.

The result is our best wave sail line up in the company's history.

SAIL FEATURES

> Drive & Acceleration - A new, higher aspect design for 2024 with a slightly longer luff, narrower boom and bigger head gives the Combat excellent drive and acceleration whether on the wave or getting going in marginal conditions.

> Wide Wind Range - Thanks to the re-designed outline, updated luff curve and new, larger panel layout, the 2024 Combat is the most versatile version of this sail yet. Rig it full when the wind is light or you want to use a small sail for extra maneuverability, or pull on a little extra outhaul when rigging for over-powered conditions.

> Stability - Our latest luff curve and sail shaping have stiffened up the sail very slightly compared to 2023 and the result is a stain which will remain stable even in high winds.

> Light Weight - Our new panel layout has drastically reduced the amount of stitches needed in the sail. This combined with carefully planned material selections has allowed us to cut around 25% off the weight of the sails compared to last year.

> ROBBY SWIFT - As a wave sailor who has been involved in the R&D for the Combat since 2004, I can honestly say that this year’s edition of the Combat is the biggest single-year advancement we have ever made. The Pro Fuse version is the epitome of all of our design knowledge and it is an amazing step forward.

> We have eliminated many seams from the sail: the leading edge luff sleeve seam, the seam that used to go around the entire head of the sail where Ultra Scrim was replaced by Technora and all of the seams from the tack and clew.

> The Pro Fuse material itself is also significantly lighter than Powerfuse due to its construction and this has allowed us to make the sails a massive 25% lighter. When you first pick up a sail in your hands before rigging, you can immediately feel the weight difference and on the water, the light handling is instantly noticeable.

We also massively improved the high-wind performance of the sails this year through a combination of a new luff curve, new shaping and new sail outline, together with the introduction of the new materials and the result is definitely our best all-round high-performance wave sail ever.
