Duotone Black.50 Series 2024

Maintaining your windsurf mast

Always rinse the mast with fresh water after use in salt water to prevent salt and sand particles from settling in the joint and between the two sections. Let the mast dry completely before rolling it up or putting it away.

Cleaning: Wipe the mast with a soft, damp cloth – avoid harsh cleaning products, solvents, and brushes, as they can damage the carbon surface.

Drying: Let the mast air-dry in the shade. Do not expose it to prolonged direct sunlight or strong heat, as this can degrade the resin and carbon material over time.

Storage: Store the mast in two separate sections, preferably in a padded mast bag or storage case. Avoid placing heavy objects on top of the mast, and store it somewhere dry, cool, and flat – never bent or in a hot car in strong sunlight.

General care: Regularly check the joints and surface for cracks, dents, or wear, especially after sailing in rough conditions. If you notice any damage, have the mast checked before using it again – this will significantly extend its lifespan.
