All About Windsurfing Masts & Booms

The mast holds the sail on it and the type of mast you should buy is determined by the type of sail you buy. Masts can be complicated things, as they are categorized in terms of length and bend type, with numbers on them such as 450-20. The first number simply represents the length of the mast in centimeters and the second number is the bend stiffness or flexibility prescribed by the sail maker. The main thing to remember when buying a mast is that lightweight carbon masts are the best type to buy. You can also buy a bag to store and carry your mast in. A boom is what you hold onto while surfing and you should get one that has a clamp on it so it's easy to attach to your mast.
