OK so maybe i misunderstood, i was under the impression that everyone was already limited to alluminum, because of the talk of the carbon fiber being "accepted". So is it more accurate to say that before mast was limmited only by leagnth, and this new rule limits the material as well? Sorry for being mostly ignorant, but sometimes I really have trouble getting past the price tags. To me $1400 is ALOT. But of course I have no sponsors, and by myself i probably never will.
