Mast Essentials SDM C50 Constant FL Curve 490cm Unifiber UF006020490

Description:

The Unifiber Essentials C50 SDM Constant FL Curve 490 cm mast is an entry-level, high-value windsurfing mast designed for recreational sailors and weekend warriors. Built using pre-preg manufacturing techniques and a C50 carbon/fiberglass blend (lower carbon-to-fiberglass ratio), it delivers a durable, forgiving structure that stands up to frequent use. The Constant FL bend profile provides a modern flex-top feel with a little extra flex in the centre for smoother sail shaping and easier depowering — ideal for learning and progression. As a Standard Diameter Mast (SDM), it is compatible with a wide range of booms and sails used in recreational rigs. The result is a balanced, versatile mast that combines predictable handling, resilience, and cost-effectiveness for beginner to intermediate windsurfers. For best rig matching, use Unifiber’s Mast Selector tool or consult sailmaker recommendations.
