Im brand new to windsurfing and ive just set up my rig. Just a question about the top end of the mast, and how it fits into the luff.

Is there meant to be a cap or am I missing something. This is a pic of my setup.

Thanks in advance!

Your missing the end cap off the top section of your mast.and maybe the turbin cap then again I could be wrong, your certainly missing something, not the best picture to view on my phone. Good luck with the progression.

Looks like youre missing a turban and endcap.

The turban is a plastic male piece that those ropes hook into. the inside end then slots into the female end cap of the mast (its not uncommon for them to fall out as yours have).

your local windsurf shop maybe able to help you out.

Edit: aqua beat me to it

I would hope they help you out.

don't know what the situation is with the mast (if you bought it off them or not) but selling you a sail without the turban (2nd hand or not) is in my opinion poor form on their behalf, seeing as though its a necessity fo the sail to be functional and all.

hopefully they just missed that it wasnt there, and help you out as best they can straight up...

good luck
