We present the NeilPryde Combat HD 2024.
Core Wave - Responsive & Lightweight
The sail of choice for our World Cup team. The Neilpryde Combat Pro Fuse has been completely redesigned and is our most advanced wave sail ever. A higher aspect ratio (luff to boom length ratio), with a slightly longer mast, slightly more surface area in the top and a shorter boom, significantly improves the high-end control of the latest version of our best-selling wave sail . The use of Q-Bond panels and Ultra Scrim reduces the weight by up to 25%.
Minimum weight - maximum strength
The Neilpryde Combat Pro HD construction combines the lightweight Ultra Scrim sail panels of our Pro Fuse sails with an X - Ply window to create a virtually indestructible sail. The Powerfuse technology in the foot and clew area offers a professional strength to weight ratio at a lower price than the Pro Fuse construction.
Core Wave- reliable Heavy Duty
The Neilpryde Combat HD construction is our most affordable construction that still delivers what it promises. The Ultra PEX-Ply sail panels with an X-Ply window create an extremely durable sail that is still very light in the hand. The use of our exclusive Powerfuse technology in the foot and clew is a significant upgrade to previous HD models and offers a pro-level strength-to-weight ratio at a lower price than Pro-Fuse technology.

Sail properties
| Drive and acceleration |
A new, higher aspect ratio for 2024 with a slightly longer luff, narrower boom and larger head gives the Combat excellent propulsion and acceleration, whether in the wave or when starting off in marginal conditions. |
| Wide wind range | Thanks to the redesigned outline, updated luff curve and new, larger panel layout, the 2024 Combat is the most versatile version of this sail. Rig it full when the wind is light or you want to use a smaller sail for extra maneuverability, or tighten a little more downhaul tension when you're getting ready for overpowered conditions. |
| Stability |
Our latest luff curve and sail shaping have stiffened the sail very slightly compared to 2023, and the result is a stability that will remain stable even in strong winds. |
| Light weight |
Our new panel layout has drastically reduced the number of seams required for the sail. This, combined with carefully planned material choices, has allowed us to reduce the weight of the sails by around 25% compared to last year. |
