I tried a few more forwards and then went for a high end-over-end attempt, but caught the mast tip in the water and snappped the mast, ripping the sail with it.... Oh well, the mast still has 15 months warranty on it, so you never know.

Nice one Al, was that a RDM mast or normal. Just that I changed over to RDM's a couple of years ago because I kept breaking normal wave masts.

Just a normal 75% carbon mast. Maybe time to get RDM's myself!

It snapped just below the ferrule on the bottom half of the mast. Luckily this time I wasn't too far out and could walk back to shore. Last time I snapped one I was miles out and ended up having to ditch everything except my board and swim back.
