We are busy testing the new 2012 wave sails on the masts. So far the results have been good. Here ia a picture os the new North Hero sail which performed very well on a X1000 ltd mast.
We will be spending 5 weeks in Tenerife testing as many of the 2012 wave sails as possible. We then decide if any of the bend curves or responce speeds need tweaking to get the absolute best out of the sails. Last year they were altered slightly to take into account the shorter luff lengths of the new sails. It is this sort of attention to detail that sets MaverX masts above all others.

MaverX Daytona – First impression
We have just received the first Daytona mast in the UK. Billed as a out and out race/slalom mast it has a hard job with cambered performance sails often being sensitive not only to mast bend but diameter too. No point going into bend curves etc, lets see how it rigs a Neil Pryde RS Raceing EvoII which is as technical a sail as you can get.

There was no difference to the way the sail set compared to the recommended Neil Pryde X9 mast I didn't even need to alter the batten/cam tension. The next test was to take it on the water and race it against a identical sail but using a X9 mast. We did this and if anything the Daytona improved the sail in nearly every respect including cam rotation. In truth the differences were small but at that level of equipment you couldn’t realistically expect more.
Since then I have used the mast on a Simmer SCS and it worked very well indeed.
Why is it such a good mast and often a performance boost over other masts? It is down to the quality/specification of the carbon. There is carbon and then there is MaverX carbon.

While the South Coast of England has been windless Colin from Surfdock in Ireland has been testing his new Stilo 300. He managed to find some great conditions near Sligo.
"Myself and my friend Thibault had made a last minute decision on a slightly dubious forecast and headed up to Sligo in Irelands north west. When we arrived that morning there were some pretty solid sets coming through around the logo to mast high mark. Wind was super offshore and pretty light on the inside. As the tide dropped the waves got super hollow and really fun. I took off on a medium sized one. Surfed down the line and then just ran out of wave. With no power left in the sail I was left bogging way too deep on the reef and the next wave in the set came through and drilled me. When I came up my sail was in two pieces but my mast was fine!!
Top marks MaverX!!"
29 March 2011
Maverx mast are now available in Ireland through our newest dealer - Surfdock in Dublin. Colin and his team travel all over Ireland in search of wind and waves and will test the masts to the full.
The sailrepair guys are just back from testing the X1000 masts in Fuerteventura, mast high waves, rock launches and we are pleased to say the masts survived, just a shame about the boards.

Spot On Water are now stocking MaverX masts. The shop is in a great position being only 300 meters from Avon Beach or the flat water of Christchurch Harbour. You can check out the masts and have a great sail all at the same time.

We are half way through the Fuerteventura Wave Classic which has had some very big conditions, nearly double mast high.
More news is that Thomas Traversa has been testing out masts for the past year along with other brands and he has decided to use MaverX Stilo 300 this year for all his PWA and Wave Classic events. We are really please to have Thomas on board as it is hard to sign up PWA sailors as they are normally tied into contracts with their sail sponsor. The fact that Thomas tested and then chose MaverX above his sail sponsors masts says a lot for how compatible MaverX masts are with most sail ranges.

Interview with Claudio Cazzara MaverX brand manager. FWC = Fuerteventura Wave Classic organisers.
FWC: Hello Claudio, how did you hear about the FWC
Well, being a windsurfer myself , I knew about the FWC from the beginning, three years ago. It was just the community tam-tam.
FWC: What is your favorite aspect of the FWC
It is about the same spirit on which the FWC it based itself. The “insider” judgment method makes the whole think less passive from a rider point of view yet not less competitive. The other great factor is about the place where it is hosted, a pure paradise for windsurfing and great venue for a manufacturer to prove their quality.
FWC: How long have you been making masts?
It is more than 20 years now!! It might not have been that known that Reglass has been the first company in the world to produce the first CARBON mast in prepreg. We have been the manufacturer for almost all the biggest sailmakers when we decided to create our own brand MaverX that is on the market since early 2000. We proved our technology in 2004 when we helped Finnian Maynard to set the new world speed record with a standard production RDM mast!
FWC: Do you focus only in wave masts ?
Oh no, we do not! We have a full range of masts from hardcore wave to freeride and slalom/race both RDM and SDM although only in high carbon content ( 65 % to 100%).
FWC: we have a good forecast for big waves, why are your mast so good?
It is a blend of few ingredients: :Innovation, technology, experience, team work, passion for details and for the this sport. Our chemical guys look always for the newest material available on the market to have the best possible mechanical response (reflex) and resistance of course. Then we send our masts to our testers which ride different conditions and different sails to be sure we match with the adequate curve almost all type of sails. We hear their feedback, we mix the all things together with passion and voila. The whole process which is here 2 lines is about a window of time of around 18 months…every time, every model and for all sizes. To set up our newest top performing wave rdm , X1000 Limited edition, we have started to working to the project in 2009.
FWC: well thanks very much for your support to the FWC project.
Thanks to FWC for being real! Ciao a todos, have fun!!!!

MaverX are proud to announce that they will be sponcoring the 2011 Fuerteventura Wave Classic . Fuerte is renowned as the European Hawaii and if good wind conditions bless the waiting period ( 8-18 feb) together with a swell we can have great conditions to test the masts and most important to see some great sailors in action. Canaries have always been our main test center where we keep on testing existing and new products
The competition is by invitation only and the riders will judge themselves to ensure sportsmanship and fairness there will be an independent head judge to oversee the event.
In the hope to be blessed by wind and waves, follow us on our web site and on www.fuertewaveclassic.com/
Stay tuned
MaverX Masts Compatibility

MaverX have worked hard to ensure their masts not only rig the vast majority of modern sails well but often enhance the sails performance compared to even the sail brands own masts. Remember masts are our business and we make the best masts possible. In some ways buying a mast is similar to buying a fin. Do you just buy the board brand’s stock fin, or do you buy a performance fin from a specialist fin manufacturer?

MaverX new 2011 Price List
MaverX Masts 2011
STILO 165 HEAVY DUTY - RDM 65% carbon prepreg. With this mast, MaverX has set new standards in terms of performance and reliability at an affordable price yet using prepreg technology and being a fully made in Italy product. This year, after extensive testing on the newest freestyle and wave sails, we’ve come up with the new evolution of the mast, the Stilo 165 Heavy Duty. The curves on all models have been modified according to length to match the specific use of different sail sizes. The boom area has been reinforced with a high resistance material . These modifications have enhanced both the reflex and the manoeuvrability of the mast smoothening out the ride and making the whole rig more stable, especially when overpowered. The new Stilo 165 HD is the perfect choice for hardcore on-shore conditions we usually have here in Europe. Available sizes: 370 to 460pecially when overpowered. The new Stilo 165 HD is the perfect choice for hardcore on-shore conditions we usually have here in Europe. Available sizes: 370 to 460 
STILO 2OO - RDM 85% carbon prepreg. The Stilo 2OO is a Wave-Freestyle mast, made in prepreg technology with an 85% Carbon percentage, which ensures extremely high performance and a reflex (response) that can greatly widen the wind range in which the sail is used. It’s an excellent mast for wave riding but it really shines in side-offshore conditions where our athletes and testers have fine-tuned its characteristics. This result was achieved by optimizing the design process and by using top quality carbon fibres. The mast is extremely easy to control, making reliability, responsiveness and dynamic reflex its key features. Compared to last year’s model, the boom area has been reinforced with a high resistance material as well as the very top of the mast, which is often left exposed when used on sails having a vario top as many 2011 models have. The bottom has been also coated with a protective transparent foil to help protecting the mast against scratch and dents plus saving graphics against wear and UV rays. After continuous use the masts keep looking good. We believe that for such a high performance mast this is an appreciated added value. eve that for such a high performance mast this is an appreciated added value. 
STILO 3OO - RDM 100% carbon prepreg. The Stilo 3OO is our absolute “top performer”, a competition mast, one of the lightest and most performance oriented masts ever produced by MaverX. Built entirely in prepreg technology, with a 100% carbon percentage, it was designed specifically to obtain a curve that not only fits best all the new generation sails, but also enhances their performance on the water. The lightness and dynamic response of the Stilo 3OO are perceived by any given rider, who can actually feel the wind powering up the sail. This translates in an active behaviour which helps getting on the plane, especially in light or gusty wind conditions. These characteristics allow the rider to use smaller sails. Compared to the 2010 model, we have slightly modified the curves to enhance their reactivity on 2011 sails, that tend to use the same mast for different sizes. It’s an excellent freestyle mast, a discipline in which acceleration is vital, as well as in on-shore wave conditions, where you need to get out the impact zone as fast as possible. These are the main reasons that made the Stilo 3OO the weapon of choice by the best athletes, who use it to compete at the highest level. Furthermore, compared to the previous year model the boom area has been reinforced with a high resistance material as well as the very top of the mast, which is often left exposed when used on sails having a vario top as many 2011 models have. The bottom has been also coated with a protective transparent foil to help protecting the mast against scratch and dents plus saving graphics against wear and UV rays. After continuous use the masts keep looking good These are the main reasons why the Stilo 3OO is the perfect mast that MaverX offers to all riders that want to get the best for winning competitions or just enjoying the conditions. Whatever, whenever. 
For Wave Sailors Only 1OOO Limited edition. Hardcore wave - RDM 100% carbon prepreg This brand new, tailor-made mast was created for the toughest wave riders, those that sail in difficult and heavy conditions. We have closely monitored the feedback of the wave riders and have launched this new pure wave mast on the market, to give them the best possible mast to enhance the whole rig performance. The main goal was to create a mast as reactive as a Stilo 300 but having the responsiveness and the smoothness in landings jumps of the Stilo 200. A mast that could withstand huge backloops, where torsion and stress of the carbon fibres are extremely high. A mast that, could allow the rider to sail in very heavy conditions in full control, where you need to be absolutely sure that the mechanical qualities are fail-proof. The only solution, which had already been used by other brands, was to place another layer of fibres at an angle of 45° over the existing vertical and horizontal ones but the results and weights had not been very satisfactory. Our Team worked really hard, for over a year on the design and testing on the water, we have been able to use a new type of carbon fibre that ensures great torsional resistance other than the typical mechanical characteristic of sheer and compression of carbon. MaverX is the first one to benefit this technology. The testing went on for various months in some of the hardest wave spots around the globe, like Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Sylt, Tarifa and Sardinia. The final result of all this work is the new 1OOO Limited Edition, a RDM 100% carbon mast born and developed especially for being used in the waves, with strong and gusty winds, where safety and reactivity are the key factors, when flying ten meter high into the sky or ripping the lip in the critical section of the wave. We have tested these masts on power wave sails, where it really works best ( Combat, Alpha, Atlas, Iron, Ezzy, K.Onda, ,Ego, Force, Session,Lipwave….) The boom area and the top of the mast have been reinforced with a high resistance material about 50cm long. The bottom has been also coated by a protective transparent foil to help protecting the mast against scratch and dents plus saving graphics against wear and UV rays. After continuous use the masts keep looking good We are sure that our products will be a benchmark for wave masts for many years to come. For us this is just what R&D is all about. Being a tailor-made product, this mast will only be available in a limited amount, with a dedicated graphic to all the spots that we have been sailing during the various months of testing. 
Crossover 65% carbon prepreg. Made in Italy The Crossover mast by MaverX was developed for a very wide spectrum of use among all different disciplines from Freestyle to Freeride to Slalom with an optimal price/quality ratio yet guaranteeing the technology, the reliability and the high performance, typical of all MaverX products. Designed to wuality that is the trademark of every MaverX product. Sizes from 370-490 
DAYTONAPRO slalom race mast 100% carbon prepreg. Made in Italy This is the highest performance mast ever built by MaverX, thanks to the use of more technologically advanced carbon fibres ( with extremely high mechanical characteristics) which have been specifically preimpregnated to achieve exactly the characteristics we wanted to excel in this extremely technical discipline. The curves have been studied thoroughly, taking into account the precious feedback given by out test riders on the water. Every detail has been checked because in this discipline the slightest difference in the rig can mean the difference between winning or losing. The all new Daytona Pro 430 and 460 and feather-weight masts feature an extremely high dynamic response. The 490 modes have been revised to better adapt the modern slalom sails with new curves. The Daytona Pro 550 was made for both Race and Formula sails, that need extremely light and performing masts in order to translate every single gust into immediate speed and acceleration, through the rig to the board. The construction concept and results focus on the use of an extremely high tech material l, which is then fully impregnated by our chemical department, in order to achieve the perfect curve and which ensures the maximum power and profile in the lower section of the sail.
