Delta's Take - While the mast base is often overlooked, this key piece to a windsurfer was finally given some love when Duotone's engineers put together the perfect version. Lowest and lightest were their starting point, and to most people those are the things that matter. But upgrading to a longer lasting tendon material, and then hiding a security rope inside, are the long overdue things that make it our favorite. The iBase 2.0 even gives you the option of a second way to separate the rig and board, or being a fixed 1 piece unit with the addition of a small set screw.

Duotone's Take - iBase 2.0 - Lowest design, extreme durability

One for all – just one base for all conditions. We are 100% convinced that absolutely no-one in any conditions and for any discipline needs more than one base. The high flexibility and ease of installation and removal makes the need for multiple bases and different systems simply obsolete. This is why we only offer the iBASE 2.0. All these additional features do not lead to any additional weight – something other bases in the market cannot claim to achieve!

Although these designs are normally built relatively high, our engineers have found a solution for making the iBASE 2.0 the lowest base of its kind. Because there is nothing in the way, the risk of injury to feet and toes is kept to a minimum. In contrast to conventional mastfoot bases made of Zytel plastic, the iBASE 2.0 is the only one produced using a much stiffer material known as POM, thus improving the durability.

The iBASE 2.0 has been designed to include a central screw so it can be installed or removed without the need for tools.

Release options:
We have always been annoyed having to unscrew the base from the board after the surf session with tired hands, just so the board fits into the board bag. For this problem in particular the iBASE 2.0 features a useful release option for removing the connection joint by simply pulling the sand-resistant, stainless-steel U-pin.

For safety nuts, the release button can now be fixed with a screw (PERMA LOCK OPTION), thus inhibiting the release function. Should the iBASE 2.0 ever become stuck to the board after long storage times, two holes now allow you to use a screwdriver as a lever to release the base with ease.
