Simmer Style SX8 RDM
80% Pre-Preg Carbon RDM Mast for Windsurfing
The Simmer Style SX8 RDM is a high-performance windsurfing mast, designed to offer an effective balance of responsiveness, reliability, and durability. The 80% Pre-Preg carbon construction reduces the rig's weight and ensures a rapid response while sailing.
It shares the construction and flex curve of the SX10, offering a high-performance and robust solution for those seeking an RDM mast suitable for wave, bump & jump, and challenging conditions.
Main Features
- Pre-Preg carbon construction with 80% carbon content
- RDM diameter: compact, durable profile suitable for wave use
- Progressive Constant Curve
- Quick elastic response for a lighter, more reactive rig
- Internal 45° carbon layers to control twist and reflection
- External 90° oriented carbon layer to increase structural strength
- Curve compatibility with Simmer Style SX8 and SX10 SDM/RDM masts
- Recommended for Simmer Style wave sails
Pre-Preg Carbon: Control and Durability
The SX8 uses high-quality Pre-Preg carbon. This technology allows for precise control of the resin quantity and distribution within the laminate, contributing to a more consistent flex and a reliable structure.
The lamination combines 45°-oriented fibers, useful for managing twist and improving response speed, with a 90° external layer designed to maximize the mast's strength.
Progressive Constant Curve
The Progressive Constant Curve maintains progressive flex, with the base being stiffer than the top part of the mast. This configuration helps the sail develop power in the lower section and release it quickly in the upper part when wind pressure increases.
The result is a balanced rig, with good stability, immediate response, and smoother handling of gusts.
Why choose an RDM?
The reduced RDM diameter makes the mast particularly robust and suitable for wave conditions, where falls, shorebreak, and stresses can be frequent. It is a suitable choice for riders looking for reliability without sacrificing dynamic sail response.

Frequently Asked Questions
What percentage of carbon does the Simmer Style SX8 RDM have?
The SX8 RDM is made with 80% Pre-Preg carbon, a construction designed to combine lightness, quick response, and reliability.
What does RDM mean?
RDM stands for Reduced Diameter Mast. Compared to an SDM, an RDM is generally more compact and impact-resistant, a characteristic particularly valued in wave windsurfing.
What is the flex curve of the SX8 RDM?
The mast adopts a Progressive Constant Curve: the base is stiffer while the top works more elastically, favoring power, control, and release in gusts.
Is the SX8 RDM suitable for wave riding?
Yes. The RDM diameter, robust carbon construction, and flex curve developed for Simmer Style wave sails make it a particularly suitable choice for wave riding.
Can I use the SX8 RDM with non-Simmer Style sails?
It is always advisable to check the length, IMCS, required diameter, and mast curve indicated by the sail manufacturer. The SX8 RDM offers maximum synergy with sails designed around the Simmer Style curve.
Which length should I choose?
The length should be chosen based on the sail's specifications. Always check the mast size recommended by your sail manufacturer before selecting the 340, 370, 400, 430, or 460 cm variant.
