Windsurf Masts
Naish Firestick 100 RDM
The Naish Firestick 100 is a skinny reduced-diameter wave mast, with 100% carbon content.
All Naish masts are measured at the factory to insure proper bend characteristics for optimum performance. Bases and tips are manufactured separately, enabling Naish to combine a light, responsive mast tip with a tough, resilient base. This results in better performance, lower center of gravity, and improved durability.
Filament wound technology
Naish’s state-of-the-art precision computer-controlled technology guarantees the precise placement of carbon fiber and e-glass in side-by-side helix on all its filament-wound masts.
Prepreg technology
Pre impregnation represents the cutting edge of composite manufacturing - a specially formulated resin system is introduced to the carbon, glass and aramid fiber matrix under controlled laboratory conditions and then thermoset to insure 100% curing. That means no excess resin, and the strongest possible final matrix. The resulting layup is lightweight, durable, and extremely consistent from mast to mast.
May we recommend a mast extension or a mast base to go with this mast?

How to choose a windsurf mast:
In shopping for a new windsurfing mast, we recommend you first decide on a price range that fits your budget, then look for the highest carbon content mast within that price range. The higher carbon masts will generally be lighter and more responsive, improving the "liveliness" and overall performance of your rig.
If you are surf sailing, or are particularly hard on your gear, you should be looking for a durable surf mast or a wave mast. These masts will not necessarily be the lightest, but are built to withstand the harshest conditions. They are guaranteed in the surf, whereas most other masts are not.
Reduced-diameter masts (RDM masts, skinny masts, etc.) are a great option as well, primarily due to their resistance to breakage in surf or extreme conditions. They generally have a thicker wall than other masts resulting in superior strength. They require special base extensions, and often a shim for the boom connection.
We carry five excellent brands of carbon masts, assuring you the widest selection anywhere. All of our manufacturers guarantee their masts for one year against failure from "normal" use. Call Big Winds at 888-509-4210. We're your mast experts!
