It is lighter, stronger and more ergonomic than its predecessor, with a cleaner design that flows seamlessly from the deck of the board into the base of the mast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut this is far more than a cosmetic refresh. Goya has spent over a year pushing the new base to its limits, sailing in all conditions and testing it extensively to ensure that the critical connection between board and rig delivers uncompromising strength and safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a base that combines a remarkably slim profile with a simpler, more efficient construction. Fewer components mean less weight, fewer potential failure points and a design that stays out of the way while working consistently from every angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesigned Around What Matters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGoya's design philosophy is simple: include only what is truly needed, then make every component lighter, stronger and more efficient. That approach is evident throughout the Slim Base Pro, from its 316 stainless steel hardware to its integrated safety system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new base is designed to deliver dependable performance across the full range of windsurfing disciplines, from wave and freestyle sailing to freeride, race and foil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInternal Dyneema Safety Rope\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most important features of the new Slim Base Pro is its internal double-loop Dyneema safety rope. Should the tendon fail, the rope is designed to keep the board and rig connected, allowing you to sail back to shore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor us, this is a particularly important feature. The mast base is a critical connection, and Goya has clearly prioritised safety alongside weight reduction and performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/roho-media.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/windsurf\/Goya_Slim_Pro_Windsurf_Mast_Base_Exploded.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"60%\" height=\"auto\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNew Tendon Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe black TPU tendon is designed for durability and improved UV resistance. Its unique shape allows it to flex from the middle, rather than concentrating the force around the connection bolts. This helps distribute the load more effectively and makes it easier to identify wear or degradation during inspection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with any tendon system, regular inspection is essential. Goya recommends checking the tendon flex, connection points and screws, particularly as humid conditions, warm climates and intensive use can influence tendon lifespan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFlow Drain Disc\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Flow Drain Disc is an absorber disc made from Nylon, featuring precision-cut holes that allow water to drain away and help prevent pooling in the mast track. The holes also provide a useful visual reference for positioning the base correctly on the mast track.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen it is time to remove the base, the holes also provide a practical quick-release solution. A Goya Windsurfing batten tensioner key can be inserted into the holes to provide extra leverage, making it easier to unscrew the base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eClean, Refined Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Slim Base Pro uses fewer pieces to reduce weight and potential failure points. Every component has been designed to be slim, aligned and functional, creating a base that is visually refined without compromising its purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll metal components are made from 316 stainless steel, while the plastic base plate is constructed from Nylon. The absorber disc features a pressed EVA grip surface, and the internal safety rope uses Dyneema with a double loop and triple knots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight - 230g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWave, Freewave, Freestyle, Freecarve, Freeride, Freerace, Race, Foil, Youth and Trainer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur Verdict:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Goya Slim Base Pro is a serious step forward in mast base design. Its lighter, stronger construction, integrated safety rope and refined ergonomics make it an easy choice for anyone looking to upgrade their rig connection. We are particularly impressed by the attention to detail and the emphasis on safety, which is why it is our staff pick.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Goya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55217233461575,"sku":"GOSLIMBASE","price":79.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/5970\/0295\/files\/goya_slim_pro_windsurf_mast_base_6922df11-d1d1-4b90-b692-68d775926f82.jpg?v=1790935481","url":"https:\/\/roho.co.uk\/products\/goya-slim-base-pro-windsurf-mast-base","provider":"Robin Hood Watersports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
