Windsurfing masts
In windsurfing, sails are so tormented by all the winds that only really strong hands can hold them. But even a hero will not be able to cope with this task if the windsurfing mast is chosen incorrectly. Buy you also need to be able to buy this equipment in order to feel confident in front of the power of waves and winds.
How windsurfing masts work
An experienced surfer will never allow himself a good board and sail to get a poor mast. After all, from such a neglect of a detail, sports will lose more than half of their potential efficiency. It is not for nothing that manufacturers recommend installing only a mast that meets the sail.
Standard-diameter windsurf masts are classified according to their stiffness and carbon content. By increasing the carbon content of the mast, the durability and performance of the sail are improved and its weight is reduced.
Rigidity is one of the main components that characterize windsurfing mast. The webshop provides customers with mast stiffness information using the IMCS or Indexed Mast Checking System. This is an internationally recognized method for calibrating the curvature and stiffness of windsurfing masts based on a mast that is 460 centimeters long.
By the way, real surfers do not need to explain that with larger sails, experimentation and disdain for expert advice and labeling are generally unacceptable. This limit of real risk starts from 6.5 meters. That is, with a sail of this height and more, amateur performance is already simply disastrous.
aluminum masts are also popular with some surfers, the rigidity of which is somewhat inferior to carbon counterparts. Therefore, more and more athletes are choosing combined options - aluminum and carbon. But such a device looks beautiful only on the shore, but with a strong wind in the sea it can fail.
When you need a solid mast, the price cannot be a decisive factor in its selection. It is best to follow the recommendations of experts and purchase a device with the required marking.
How effective are telescopic masts?
Worthily characterized by athletes and telescopic mast, in which you can adjust length. This happens by lowering part of the tubes of a smaller diameter inside the wider ones, like in a telescope, hence the name.
Changing the height for more efficient sail control is the main advantage that a telescopic mast has. You can buy this device in our TheRide store.
But beginners should not bother with strict adherence to the recommendations, but limit themselves to native components for the sail. A sail is a thing quite durable under our conditions. And if it is better to buy a more expensive sail even at the beginning, then you can take a mast cheaper. After all, first you need to at least get used to holding the sail. But when the "junior" firmly masters the trapezoid, catapults and loops, learns to fill the sail and determine the desired rack, working under different weather conditions, the first mast can be replaced with a more advanced analogue.
Residents of small towns and villages Ukraine can order telescopic masts online in our online store. A large selection, products from leading manufacturers, affordable prices - these are the "pluses" of our trade.
