Hi all,
Ive purchased some older gear in my efforts to get into Windsurfing and Im keen to seperate the masts.

Any tips or clues?
is there a special price of equipment required?
I’m located in Middleton, South Australia.
thanks for any advice

ok ,
.
Hold the mast height wise, pointy end down. Spear it hard into some grass. It's got to go in a bit. Standing next to the mast, grab it chest high and shake it as hard as you can. Make it wobble as fast and hard as you can. Walk around the mast to wobble at different angles. It works every time for me. If it doesn't, wobble it harder.

Thanks mate that was the trick that enabled me to get free masts from folks who already tried 4 booms etc 😂
