I just cracked my mast and so I'm looking to buy a 400cm or 430cm SDM mast for windsurfing.

What sail are you using it with and how about a RDM, it would be stronger.

RDM is preferred. They're more durable. Small sails are always spec'd for RDMs. SDM masts tend to be used for big race sails.
At the spit, you'll prefer a 400 cm to use with the typical 4.5 to 5.0 sails that you would use. 430 cm would be way too stiff. I'm guessing your reddish-brown North sail prefers a 400.

More details... powerex super wave, 70% carbon, 19 imcs, excellent condition, barely used. $100 obo. Lighter than a skinny but not as strong jammed in a reef, nor as easy to grip.
