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 please to announce that they are now sponsoring Will Ward, best know as the Witchcraft rider featuring in the extreme wave sailing videos from the North Shore of Fuerteventura. Will’s choice of masts is a testament to the strength and reliability of MaverX masts. When your life can depend on your mast it is no time to be using a mast just because you got a good deal on it.

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
