S2 Maui Banshee 2025 Sail - Performance RAF FreeRide/FreeRace/FreeFoil
S2Maui’s popular, high performance, ultralight RAF (cam-less) Freeride/Freerace/ FreeFoil sail, the 2025 Banshee borrows elements from our latest Venom race sail development and provides amazing speed, power and lightweight handling that puts many cambered sails to shame. The 2025 Banshee model incorporates new Hyper Blue Light-Film™, X-ply and Technora™ Spacelight™ for superlight weight and progressive leech twist giving energetic early planing and instant acceleration. The center of effort is perfectly balanced low and close to the rider for maximum control and Race-derived Focus-Point™ shaping locks a clean and stable profile. The Banshee’s powerful shaping and stability makes it versatile and well-suited to performance minded sailors who like to enjoy both Freeride and Wind-foil with the same sail. The Banshee’s exceptional power to size ratio and incredible light weight allow for perfectly balanced foil flight even in the lightest of winds. The Banshee offers exceptional speed, performance and versatility from Freeride to Foil, all with the ease of a cam less sail.

Team Rider Micah Buzianis:
“The perfect one sail does it all is how I would describe the Banshee!! It has great range for going fast in a straight line or around a course. It also has great stability for foiling fun or fun racing!! And with its light weight and maneuverability it could even serve as a light wind bump ‘n’ jump sail.”

Sail Designer Artur Szpunar:
“For the 2025 Banshee we used shaping elements learned from our Venom race development to increase leading edge stability and create an improved, progressive leech twist, expanding overall wind range. New materials and improved load orientation complement the shaping evolution.”

Construction – Sail Cloth in detail:

2025 Freeride sails Banshee and Hornet benefit from the Gradient Concept. It is applied through a combination of multiple thickness Bi-Ply colored films, which progressively get lighter as you move from lower to upper sail body. Technora™ SpaceLight™ is maintained in the leech for its outstanding combination of light weight and durability.

S2MAUI’S SPACELIGHT ™ SAILCLOTH ADVANTAGE STILL AHEAD OF THE COMPETITION: Not all sail materials are created equal. In addition to warp carbon and x-ply, S2Maui’s original HyperBlue Carbon SpaceLight™ adds a bi-directional scrim base giving it superior stability and durability. Also, Technora SpaceLight™ has actual Technora™ warp yarns which have three times the tensile strength and 4 time the stretch resistance of “similar looking” styles that only use cheap black polyester warp fibers.
• STRONGER MATERIAL: Carbon warp fibers have eight times the tensile strength and Technora™ fibers used in warp and bias directions have three times the tensile strength of standard polyester fibers.
• LIGHTER MATERIAL: Technora™ and scrim matrix combined with double-pass laminated, light weight films reduces weight by 50% compared to standard 5 mil sail material. Technora™ SpaceLight™ is preferred in upper sail body because the thinner, low stretch Technora warp yarns allow for lower sail cloth weights compared to Polyester or even Carbon.
• LESS STRETCH: Carbon warp fibers used in highest load areas have 10 times less stretch than Polyester. Technora™ fibers also have 4 times less stretch than Polyester. This is necessary for specific load-oriented panel configurations. In Carbon+Tech construction, S2MAUI’S exclusive WARP-PATH™ engineered panel layout load-orients new HyperBlue Carbon Spacelight™ and Ultralight Technora™Spacelight™ material in its optimum location and direction to distribute forces throughout the sail body.
• MORE DURABLE: The scrim base and extremely strong Carbon and Technora™ yarns develop incredible tear resistance. Double-pass lamination ensures a perfect bond with adhesive on both sides of the fibers and helps prevent delamination.
