Why is it that since it is sport products the people behind the brands think you can say what ever about the products that sounds cool and everyone will just buy it.

As said befor by JB increased wall thickness=heavier mast (if you do not change materials), there is no magic
No mast has 90% carbon, maybe 90% carbon fibre prepreg is used, but 35-50% are resin
etc….

Maybe time to be a bit more critical when doing he magazine

Woo 33,000,000 psi. They should just start making diamonds, not windsurf masts. That is sweet that their factory makes stuff for Boing®, the Mexican soft drink brand.

A question regarding this mast and the description, 33 million psi is a lot of pressure. I would not think the mast or anything could handle that. What is that explaining?

Secondly what is the weight of their mast? Can not find anything on their home page? Thicker walls would lead to heavier mast since you can not really trick the density of the material. Do not misunderstand me a mast that is indestructible and a few grams heavier is great, would by it any day…

Thanks a lot for a great paper.
