Skinny Mast Information and Warranty
Thank you for choosing a Nolimitz Skinny.
Every single Nolimitz Skinny is proudly hand made 100% in the U.S.A.
with great attention to detail bringing you the best performing and
most bomber mast on the market today.
It is also the only Skinny produced in the U.S.A.. We greatly appreciate
your business and hope to support your windsurfing needs for a lifetime
of sailing happiness! We pride ourselves on having the best
product and customer service in the industry.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have regarding your new Nolimitz Skinny.
Nolimitz Research and Development has spent over 15 years developing the ideal blend of
performance and durability for our Skinny Mast line (twice as long as most companies
have been producing a Skinny diameter mast). By combining the best Prepreg
(pre-impregnated) materials with the best manufacturing methods we are able to
bring you a mast that will last you for many years to come
(unfortunate for our sales team, but great for you, our customer!)
Every layer of composite material is specifically located, oriented, and applied
for the greatest durability and sailing performance.
We know you will love the sailing performance and durability of our Skinnies.
Compatibility: We have team riders on almost every brand of sail for good reason.
Our goal is to provide a mast that will perform well on any sail brand. We know
this is a tough order, but there is nothing more frustrating than having to
switch masts every time you buy a new sail. Do you have a question about a
particular brand of sail? Give us a call or drop an email and we’ll get back
to you with the information you need. With team riders hitting the water every
day on over 12 different brands of sails we are constantly tweaking our design
to provide you with the best all around mast in the world! Several sail companies
design specifically from our Nolimitz bend curves and recommend Nolimitz Skinnies
as their OEM choice. Not sure what sail brand you prefer? No problem, create
a mixed quiver of sails and try them all on a Nolimitz Skinny today.
Sailor Ability: We supply some of the top sailors all over the world
with Nolimitz Skinny masts. We know how intimidating it can be riding
a double mast high wave. We know how scary it can be riding 5 miles off shore.
We know how expensive your gear is. That’s why we spend countless ours
testing our Skinnies to ensure that your mast
will exceed your sailing and durability expectations.
Our team lives and sails in the Gorge, Santa Cruz, Baja, Pistol River, South America,
Europe, Australia, Fiji, Maui, Bermuda, Costa Rica, Brazil, and other
radical locations all over the world. We also sell our Skinnies to an
increasing number of novice sailors every year when they see how easy they are to handle.
Our masts are designed for every ability level throughout your sailing career.
Our Nolimitz Skinny masts will never hold you back and our entire skinny line is
appropriate for all ability levels.
-Warranty-
Our masts are extremely durable!
In fact, we rarely receive a warranty claim. Most things you can think of doing while sailing your
Nolimitz Skinny on the water is covered by your warranty for a year after the original purchase
date from an authorized Nolimitz dealer.
If, against all odds you did have a problem with your mast and believe it qualifies
for warranty, please return the bottom 12” off each broken section along with a
copy of your sales receipt to your dealer. Don’t forget to fill out the
warranty card below within 30 days of your purchase so we can be of
service to you.
Warnings:
- Windsurfing can be dangerous and there is risk of injury or
fatality when participating in the sport.
- We recommend wearing a helmet and a PFD.
- Never sail in lightening, don’t sail alone, and watch
out for power lines. Masts with as much carbon in
them as a Nolimitz Skinny conduct electricity!!
- Beware of your surroundings and check with locals regarding
the conditions and potential hazards before you go out and sail.
LIMITED WARRANTY
This warranty is subject to the conditions and limitations set forth.
Innovative Composite Engineering, Inc. (herein referred to as ICE)
warrants to the original owner of a new Nolimitz windsurf mast
purchased from an authorized dealer to be free from defects in
materials and workmanship for a period of one year from the
original date of purchase. ICE will repair or replace at no charge
and at its sole discretion any mast covered by the above warranty which
is found to be defective. In order to obtain warranty service, the mast or
defective portions of the mast (bottom 12” of each broken section), a complete
description of how it was broken and a copy of the original bill of sale
must be returned to ICE for evaluation.
The following actions will void your warranty:
- Using your mast in conditions beyond the intended use of the mast.
Not having a properly shimmed mast base.
- Using an accessory that damages your mast.
- Leaving your sails rigged for months on end while on vacation!
That will bend your mast. Do not leave rigged for longer than
a normal sailing session (yes 12 hour sailing sessions are okay!)
- Not fully inserting the two mast halves together.
- Inserting less than 6” of a mast base extension or extending the mast base extension to more than 12”.
- Cutting your mast.
- Excessive wear from camber inducers where no abrasion protection was used (use mylar tape)
- Not using your Nolimitz Skinny Boom Shim
- Impacting your mast on sharp objects such as rocks or reefs
-
Allowing gouges to be worn into your mast.
These gouges create week spots so keep an eye on battens poking
through your mast sleeve and don’t throw your mast on the
rocks even though Nolimitz Skinnies are incredibly durable.
Thank you again for purchasing a Nolimitz Skinny.
We know you will enjoy it for years to come!
