North Platinum Series Mast 2012

Top of the range

PLATINUM SDM - Standard Diameter 48 mm

The PLATINUM series was developed for World Cup pros and gearheads. It represents our most individual and dynamic line, with lengths from 370 to 430cm focusing on Wave and Freestyle, those with 460cm and above on Race. Of course, this series is manufactured using the aerospace prepreg autoclave process, the most precise and sophisticated technology currently available. Pressures of up to 10 tons result in an extremely homogeneous carbon-resin mixture, and reduce the resin content to a minimum. This is what delivers the sheer unbelievable reflex and durability properties of this series. The new white coating made of 100% abrasion-resistant polyamide protects the carbon surface against mechanical impact, and increases fracture resistance by approx. 20%! Naturally, the PLATINUM models are also sealed with a white surface that prevents heat from reaching critical areas, and avoids thermal overstress.

Available in: 370, 400, 430, 460, 490, 520 and 550cm.


PLATINUM RDM - Standard Diameter 32 mm

The ultimate needle mast. Thanks to its geometry with a larger top diameter, the PLATINUM RDM is even more dynamic than its predecessor. As a result, the rig benefits not only from the aerodynamic advantages of the smaller diameter but also from the greater flexing power of the needle shape. Of course, this top model also features both the polyamide base coating and the “cooler” white surface.

Available in: 370, 400 and 430.

The 2012 Platinum Series comes as shown in the main picture above. Please note the Platinum comes with a bag. Additionally the RDM version comes with an adapter. The mast program in 2012 comes up with new detail and quality improvements, particularly regarding the refined bend curves and increased breakage strength. This is only possible through the implementation of an electronically-controlled mast test device which supplies more precise measurements than previous analog equipment.
