ION Mast Base Protector

FAQ

What is the ION Mastbase Protector for?

The ION Mastbase Protector is a protective cover that you slide over the mast base of your windsurf rig. It protects the board, mast, and especially your foot from hard impacts when setting up and taking down or changing the mast.

Which masts is the Mastbase Protector compatible with?

The protector is cut to fit over most common mast bases. When purchasing, make sure that your mast base is not wider than the protector.

Is the Mastbase Protector easy to attach?

Yes, it simply slides over the mast base. Thanks to the slit on the top, it can be easily slipped on and off without having to disassemble the mast.

Does the protector also protect against bruised toes?

That is exactly what it is designed for. The padding absorbs impacts if you accidentally hit your toes while handling the rig, thus reducing pressure points and bruises.

Can I leave the ION Mastbase Protector on while surfing?

The protector is primarily intended for transport and setting up and taking down on the beach. It can be removed at any time when you go into the water.

What material is the ION Mastbase Protector made of?

The protector is made of a robust, lightweight foam that reliably absorbs impacts while remaining flexible enough to be easily slid over the mast base.

Who is the Mastbase Protector worth it for?

The protector is useful for any windsurfer who regularly sets up and takes down on the beach – from beginners to ambitious riders. Especially at busy spots and on hard surfaces such as asphalt or gravel, it protects the board, mast, and feet.

How do I care for the Mastbase Protector?

Occasionally rinse the protector with clean fresh water after a day of surfing and let it air dry. This keeps the material and padding functional for a long time.
