Ezzy masts
Hookipa 91% and Legacy XT 60% carbon.
The first RDM mast, since 1999
Way back in 1999, we were the first sail company to develop and sell RDM masts. Today, the Ezzy mast is the industry standard for performance and durability.
We have two mast lines: the Hookipa at 91% carbon, which is all about top performance, and the more economical Legacy XT at 60% carbon. Both masts have the same bend curve and are interchangeable with each other, so you can combine a Legacy top with a Hookipa bottom, or vice versa.
We developed the “mix and match” system that allows you to combine different length tops and bottoms. This means fewer masts in your quiver and better performance. Every one of our tops and bottoms is interchangeable with each other and backwards compatible with every year mast we have ever made.
Our masts bend in a standard constant curve, which fits every Ezzy sail as well as sails from most other brands. Over the years, windsurfers have learned to trust the Ezzy mast for both its strength and its performance. That’s why our masts are found at the most demanding beaches all around the world.

Hookipa vs. Legacy XT
Both masts have the same bend curve and stiffness, and they are fully interchangeable. The difference is the carbon content, and that shows on the scale.
| Length | Hookipa 91% | Legacy XT 60% |
|---|---|---|
| 340 | 1.46 kg | 1.60 kg |
| 370 | 1.60 kg | 1.76 kg |
| 400 | 1.71 kg | 1.91 kg |
| 430 | 1.98 kg | 2.12 kg |
| 460 | 2.12 kg | 2.43 kg |
| 490 | 2.32 kg | – |
Full specs, including MCS and IMCS, are on the Hookipa and Legacy XT pages.
“The 60% feels pretty good. I only notice the difference when I go back on the 91%, which still feels better to me because it is lighter.”

Bend curve
Ezzy masts are constant curve, with these values: ¼ point 62%, ¾ point 77%. This is not carbon content. It is the percentage bend relative to the midpoint bend.
Ezzy sails work great with the Ezzy mast system, but also work with a variety of other brand masts, RDM and regular diameter. For a non-Ezzy mast to work well with Ezzy sails, its bend should be: ¼ point 61 to 64%, ¾ point 75 to 79%.
Mix and match
- First, pick the top and bottom that fits the sail you use the most.
- Second, use a longer top for your bigger sail.
- Third, use a shorter bottom for your smaller sail.
