New SuperWave mast will Do It All

Fiberspar has combined the legendary Tidal Wave and the freestyle benchmark, the Reflex Wave, into one standard diameter mast that does it all. If you want a wave mast that gives you excellent freeride and bump & jump performance and can take your crash and burn, the Super Wave is the ultimate choice in standard diameter. If you’re now a RDM guy, check out the Radius or Tidal Wave RDM.

Tidal Wave RDM

Now that the Radius masts have established a new standard, and RDMs in general are clearly the wave of the future, Fiberspar is pleased to offer the first RDM in the mid-range price. The new Tidal Wave RDM weighs less than the standard diameter Tidal Wave and is similarly priced. The bend and stiffness matches the Radius RDM, and is a perfect choice for most wave, freestyle, and free-move sails. Tidal Wave RDM prototypes were used successfully with Gaastra Sails at the Surf Magazine test in South Africa. Combine with the Posi-Lock RDM mast extension and there is nothing standing between you and a responsive Fiberspar RDM rig.

Jonas Ceballos and other wave rippers have been putting the Tidal Wave RDM thru the pounding conditions of Pozo and Hookipa with stellar results.

Fiberspar further reinforces the Posi Lock cleats

After five years of abuse, we’ve seen what can make the ultimate mast extensions even better. So we’ve updated the Posi Locks accordingly. With tremendous leverage from the sail, we saw that the 40cm Posi Lock RDM extensions, over time, could cause the plastic cleat assembly to bend where the carbon tube exits. So we increased the plastic walls of the cleats and added more beef in the corners to stiffen things up.

We also saw that under big poundings you could get the steel axel that holds the pulley shives to finally bend. So we beefed up that pin as well just in case.

We also know with 12 meter race sails, mind boggling downhaul loads, and 40+cm mast extension it was possible to break the carbon tube on the Posi Lock 46cm or Reflex 46cm mast extensions. So we beefed up the laminate on those long, standard diameter extensions.

Most of you never had any problems with your Fiberspar mast extensions, but it’s amazing the stress windsurfing gear goes thru compared to five years ago. Fiberspar is ready to adapt. Is your body?

It is great to see all the new young guns storming the PWA pro leader boards and it is no longer uncommon to see half of the top ten younger than 21. Fiberspar is leading the way in providing strong, innovative gear that is taking freestyle to a whole new dimension. We led the way with the 170-208cm Posi Grip boom, RDM masts, and then the Posi-Lock easy-to-use mast extensions. Now we have introduced the Tidal Wave RDM to bring RDM durability and handling to a more affordable price and the new generation of rippers.

Leading the youth brigade are Tonky, Taty, and Choco Frans as well as Kiri Thode from Bonaire, Jonas Ceballos from the Canary Islands, Remko de Weerd from Holland, Jace Panebianco from U.S.A. and many other new faces. Tonky Frans is famous for his infectious smile and winning the PWA Freestyle Finals- The King of the Caribbean. Taty Frans has won the King of the Cape twice and is always a top five finisher in the big PWA events. Reemko wins the Costa Brava World Cup in Spain, and Jonas Ceballos famously defeated World Champion Bjorn Dunkerbeck on his home turf to place second at the PWA wave championships in Pozo, Gran Canaria. Look for fifteen year old Kiri Thode to challenge all these guys for the Freestyle podium. And check out his incredible Gekko Flaka. These guys are proving every day what you can do with a young heart and Fiberspar gear. Check out Jonas putting the Tidal Wave RDM, Fiberspar booms and Posi-Lock extensions to the test.

Fiberspar Builds 17 Meter Grass for Children

Fiberspar produced abstract grass sculpture for the entrance of the new Exploris Children's Museum in Raleigh, North Carolina. When the designers, Clearscapes Inc., went looking for the right combination of strength, bend characteristics, and artistic effect they looked at the amazing strength of America's Cup battens built by Fiberspar. Standing over 17 meters tall (52 feet), Wind Reeds has with stood 100-MPH hurricane force winds. If you’re passing through Raleigh, N.C. on the way back from your Florida or your Hatteras windsurfing vacation, stop by Exploris and see this amazing Fiberspar structure swaying in the breeze.
