There have been a few posts about this problem on the windsurf general forums. A recent one was titled "a trap for young players" if you do a search for stuck mast you will find heaps of ideas.

Choosing between a frappe or a skinny soy chai tea latte at the rainbow expo?

Did you try lubing the pole up and tugging really hard?

Hopefully this is seen as a serious reply.

Try hot water on the outside section and super cold on the inside near connection.
Or just soak in hot water for a fair bit hoping water gets into join and dislove salt and soften dirt.

Good luck as it will require persistence.

I'll let you find the one of a 100 different ways to get it apart, but I'll offer you this.
Wrap a little electrical tape around the joint from now on before you go sailing, it will never happen again.
