Description
The 2023 Neil Pryde Combat PRO Windsurfing Sail is the epitome of wave sail development. Power when you need it, neutral on the wave and built to withstand everything Mother Nature can throw at you. Pro HD construction combines the Pro features of the Combat Pro with an X-Ply centre window for an even more bullet-proof sail. This results in a lighter sail and a slightly softer feeling than the Pro construction.
HD construction is our most affordable construction. Featuring regular X-Ply and Radial HD 2.0 in key load areas of the sail which emulates the dynamic load distribution of Powerfuse but with a simpler, stitched construction in order to reduce construction cost.
Specifications: (4.7)
• Luff (Cm) : 397
• Boom (Cm) : 163
• Base (Cm) : 28
• Sail Weight (Kg) : 3.2
• Ideal Mast (RDM) : 370
Features:
Drive & Acceleration
A tight leech provides power for early planning and upwind performance.
Wide Wind Range
A large tuning range that allows the rider to trim the sail for all conditions, thanks to the combination of a pronounced luff curve in the boom area and a high outhaul tension that stabilizes the profile.
Stability
Wide batten layout spacing on the lower area that allows a softer and forgiving handling under powered up conditions. Tight batten layout spacing through the upper area that provides greater stability and a lighter feeling.
Light Weight
Powerfuse clew and tack are our “signature” fully laminated radial overlapping internal panels used in PRO and PRO-HD constructions.
The 2023 version is redesigned to be lighter in weight compared to previous Powerfuse generations.
The unique feature of Powerfuse construction (also shared with Radial HD panels) is how the internal panels are cut and placed in a radial overlapping pattern creating a very strong, multiple layer laminate at high load points (tack and clew) and then gradually reducing the number of overlapping layers to distribute the loads progressively into the main sail body.

• Laminated Powerfuse Tack and Clew
• Technora panels in leech and head of sail
