Mast selection 2008

Everyone would probably agree that the most important part of any sailor’s equipment is a light, responsive and dependable mast.  Such a mast makes windsurfing easier and the sailor has naturally more fun. Technofiber’s masts belong to the least expensive light masts in the world. Our masts are around 30% lighter than our competition’s  – at the same price, or around 30% less expensive at the same weight.  This is the main factor that separates our products from those of our competition and this applies across the entire palette of products.

We continue our 2008 program with our well-tried four mast categories – Free, Wave, Race and Kidy.  In most cases we offer 2 different masts for each category – one for sailors who wish to own a solid, high-quality product at a very reasonable price.  The second type of mast is for customers who wish to sail with the best they can get – i.e. high-end products.  The dividing line between the two categories is the carbon contents, extra performance of the mast, low weight and of course the price.

 All of our masts are of high quality with excellent performance – since all of our masts are made with identical technology and with the same care – regardless of the price.  The mast collection for 2008 is based on many years of experience and the masts have been modified and optimised in accordance with the wishes of our customers.  We have also incorporated into the Technofiber line many improvements we have gathered designing and manufacturing products for our OEM customers, who have special wishes as regards their masts. Some of the mast parameters have been modified so that our masts now work better with new sails, while keeping the outstanding properties of the past mast models.  New inexpensive kidy masts which we introduced last year have become very popular and have been incorporated into programs of several kidy-set distributors world-wide.

EXTREME RDM - Reduced Diameter Mast  

This is the new generation of the well-tried RDM mast tested in the most adverse conditions.  Changes we have made have made the mast stronger and the curve we have designed allows these masts to be used with any sail on the market.  Excellent ratio of performance to price makes this light and tough mast the flagship of our production.

Tsunami Wave  

Large waves break the toughest masts.  We have designed here a very tough mast which, thanks to its 5 layers of triaxial braid offers greater than usual resistance to breakage in waves.  Thanks to technological changes we’ve made during 2007, our 2008 models are tougher yet and we can still proudly guarantee that if you break this mast, we will replace it within 3 years of purchase.  Despite the quality-improvements for this coming season’s design, the mast remains light and it is great fun to sail – at a very attractive price-performance ratio!

Fusion

This mast represents the best that can be found in this mast category.  Tougher than the Race and lighter than the Tsunami Wave, this mast for freeride sailing is also made with a triaxial – braid manufacturing method.  The mast is a 55% carbon and it remains a standard against which all similar masts are to be measured – look at the weight, toughness and price ratio! This is our workhorse and a sales hit since the inception of Technofiber!

Laser

Our new model of the “second” mast in the freeride category is again called “Laser” for 2008. It is based on the last year’s model FREE 35 and thanks to some OEM customers we have made some changes to the mast that improve its performance yet further.

Laser is ideal for an advanced beginner because it is a light, yet tough mast and such a “tool” tends to improve the rider’s enjoyment more than anything else.  Our mast is lighter than most masts in this price category.  This is one of our best sellers of all times!

C-20

This is a basic, least expensive mast Technofiber manufactures – a mast with an unbeatable performance-price ratio.  C-20s production technology is identical with technologies used in manufacturing our high-end products and this has enabled us to achieve a high-quality and toughness even in this lowest price category of carbon masts.  Even though this is not a typical Technofiber high-end mast, you as a customer will get an excellent value for your money.
