NP Combat Pro 2023

Our World Cup Team Riders‘ sail of choice.

Combat Pro 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. Trusted by our team from Peahi to Pozo, Combat feels light in your hands yet provides power when you need it and will always perform, no matter the conditions.

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.

** 2.9 Only available in Pro Construction. **

INNOVATION

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.

Features:

POWERFUSE 2.0

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.

LIGHTWEIGHT SCRIM

Centre upper panels use 2mil LIGHTWEIGHT SCRIM laminate to minimize weight while providing outstanding rip-resist- ance due to the high yarn density of this material.

Lightweight 3mil laminate with unidirectional TECHNORA fibres strategically placed in the leech panels to control stretch and stabilize the shape of the sail.

TAFFETA LUFF PANEL

Rip-stop Taffeta X-Ply laminate luff panel combines excellent stitch holding properties with responsive elasticity which makes the sail softer and more forgiving than regular X-Ply but lighter and more responsive compared to Dacron.

Team Interview:

Morgan Noireaux

The sail that I took with me all year to win the 2022 IWT Tour. Controlled power for jumping in Pistol River, light in my hands and strong enough to handle the power of Cloudbreak. Light and super maneuverable in Peru and Maui. Definitely my go-to sail in all conditions!

Robby Swift

This has been my sail of choice since we first re-introduced it in 2004. All the power I need to get going in tricky, onshore conditions. Stability and easy handling when extremely overpowered for jumping and light in my hands for down-the line riding. One sail that I can feel confident to take with me anywhere in the world.

Sail Features

Drive & Acceleration
Tight leech provides power for early planing 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 lighter feeling.
