NEILPRYDE 2022 SPX 50 SDM Windsurf Mast - 430

Sizes: 430 / 460 / 490

Diameter: SDM

A very durable mast at a great price. The lower carbon content makes it a little heavier than higher-end models, but it is incredibly durable.

The NeilPryde mast range has been designed according to the Progressive Flex concept and therefore, when used with a NeilPryde sail, they have the proper shape, twist and ability to maintain stability in changing conditions.

All NeilPryde mast models of the same length will have the same bend curve. This means you are not limited to a specific mast model to match your sail. The curve will only differ for different mast lengths, regardless of model (TPX100, SPX90-95, SPX65). Our shorter masts are close to a "flex-top curve", while the longer ones are closer to a "constant curve" - that is why we call them Progressive Flex.

The distance from the bottom of the mast to the boom is relatively constant across all mast lengths. On short masts, the boom head is connected at a higher point than on longer masts. To compensate for the shorter "bending length" above the boom, short masts will have a softer upper section compared to long ones, because there is much more sail area above the boom that needs to be supported by the mast.

Since sails are designed around specific mast bend curves, we recommend using a NeilPryde mast with a NeilPryde sail, which will allow you to achieve maximum performance from your setup.
