Mast Overview
"The Ezzy Skinny Mast makes ANY sail work better...not just ours!"

THE EZZY HOOKIPA SKINNY MAST IS THE STRONGEST MAST IN THE WORLD.


Details:

  • Our skinny masts contain 90% pre-preg carbon fiber. Pre-preg is the key to achieving
    a superior weight-to-strength ratio.
  • The fibers are pre-saturated to an exact resin-to-fiber ratio, then hand-wrapped
    around a mandrel, and then thermally cured.
  • The Ezzy Skinny Mast gets its superior strength from the 50% extra thickness of
    its walls.
  • The small diameter makes the Ezzy Skinny a dream to sail. You’ll notice the improved
    handling right away in your jibes.
  • Each mast comes with a mast shim that fits a standard boom.
  • Ezzy tops and bottoms are interchangeable and sold individually. You can buy the
    perfect combination for your sail quiver. That means fewer masts. The general
    rule when mixing tops and bottoms is: choose a shorter bottom with a longer top.
  • Talk to your local dealer about a skinny dedicated mast extension, or conversion
    parts to convert your existing mast extension to work with skinny masts.
  • The Ezzy Sails are widely tested on standard and reduced diameter masts, and work
    perfectly well, but if you are looking for the perfect blend of performance and
    durability for Wave, Bump and Jump or even Slalom conditions, the RDM mast system
    is is the way to go. The Ezzy Skinny masts work FANTASTIC on the Infinity
    Series
    !

Note on Masts:
Ezzy Sails work great with the Ezzy Mast system, but also work with a variety of other brand masts (RDM and regular diameter).  You could contact your mast maker and see if the bend of your non-Ezzy mast is compliant.

Ezzy mast bend curves are tip: 75% to 79% and base: 62% to 65%

Note: this is not carbon content. This is percentage bend relative to the midpoint bend.

How To Choose The Perfect Mast Combination For Your Quiver:

  1. First, pick the top and bottom that fits the sail you use the most.
  2. Second, use a longer top for your bigger sail.
  3. Third, use a shorter bottom for your smaller sail.

    I just bought a brand new 490 Hookipa rdm. I'm a little worried about the specs on the mast : 1"/mcs=25/imcs=25. Did I get a soft 490? Is it not supposed to have an IMCS around 30? I have a 8.0 freeride 2008 which seems to be fine on it, but I'm thinking of buying a 9.5 infinity and I'm afraid my 490 is too soft. Could it be a mast from previous years and the technology was not there a couple years ago?

    thanks for the message. The 490 is 26mcs/29imcs. There was a small number of 490's that received incorrect labeling last year accidentally marked 25/25. The rest of the mast is perfect, but the company that prints the labels made a mistake. The 490 Ezzy RDM is perfect for your Ezzy 8.0 and 9.5.

    Regards,

    If i get one 430 and one 370, can I mix the 430 bottom with the 370 top to form a 400 mast, what is the difference to a genuine 400 mast? Would there be a problem?
  • ezzysails
    Great question Anton!
    You can mix the 430/370 parts. The key is that you can use only the 430 TIP and the 370 BOTTOM together. The basic rule with bend curve is that the tip should be the same length or longer than the bottom with our mix and match system.

    Structurally you are ok.
    The 430 tip and 370 bottom yields a bend curve that is acceptable with Ezzy's.

    thanks!
