The Hookipa
The trusted and top-shelf RDM mast.
The Hookipa is our 91% carbon skinny mast
Our Hookipa skinny masts contain 91% 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.
Strength and handling
The Ezzy skinny mast gets its superior strength from the 50% extra thickness of its walls. The small diameter makes it a dream to sail. You’ll notice the improved handling right away in your jibes.
Works with the whole Ezzy lineup
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 the way to go. The Ezzy skinny masts work fantastic on the entire Ezzy sail lineup.
“It is a life altering experience the first time you use an Ezzy skinny mast! You have got to try one out!”

Mix and match
Ezzy tops and bottoms are interchangeable and sold individually. You can buy the perfect combination for your sail quiver. That means fewer masts.
- 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.
The general rule when mixing tops and bottoms is: choose a shorter bottom with a longer top. View the mix and match chart.
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 masts work in all sails that require a constant curve bend. Customers using sail brands that require a hard top bend have found success combining our top with a bottom that is two sizes smaller. For example, combining a 460 top and a 400 bottom produces a 430 cm hard top mast.
