  Reduced diameter masts are often the first choice for wave and hardcore sailors. Their narrow diameter and thicker walled configuration makes them inherently stronger than an equivalent standard diameter mast.
The RD Wave is 96% carbon fibre with the full ‘ProTec’ coating to top and bottom halves accounting for the other 4%. All top and bottom halves are guaranteed interchangeable with the new precision joint system.
The narrower diameter of the lower part of the mast has a significant effect on how it will match the sail’s luff curve. We’ve made a corresponding adjustment to the mast’s bend curve, in order to achieve a perfect fit with conventionally cut sails.
From pounding mast-high surf to flatwater freestyle, the responsive RD Wave lightens the rig, assisting any kind of manoeuvre-based sailing, while still offering good "blasting" performance for high-wind freeriders.
 Suitability The RD Wave is recommended for hard use in all non-racing disciplines, especially:
- Wave
- Crossover
- Freestyle
Other masts to consider:
For budget-concious wave and all-round sailors the RD 60 is a good alternative.
Riders with a bias towards blasting / high-wind freeride should look towards the Carbon 75
