NEILPRYDE 2022 TPX 100 SDM Windsurf Mast - 430

Sizes: 430 / 460 / 490 / 520 / 550

Diameter: SDM

Neilpryde top-of-the-line mast. The fastest, most flexible mast in the range. The 100% carbon construction uses Torq-Preg. This unique prepreg material is characterized by +/- 45 degree fiber orientation. This helps control twisting, especially in the boom area. Thanks to its construction, the mast is extremely light, while also having a very fast response time.

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" - which 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 attached at a higher point than on longer masts. To compensate for the shorter "bend 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.
