This is a 46cm carbon extension joint from the now-discontinued FIBERSPAR Fiberspar. There are some scratches, but as anyone who windsurfs knows, these are normal wear and tear from being inserted into the mast, and do not affect its use. Please understand that the markings are faded. The length markings start at 2cm at the bottom, with each groove representing an additional 2cm. The rubber ring that prevented it from falling out at the top is missing, so please purchase a replacement rubber ring from a hardware store's plumbing section. There are no issues with its use, but please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about this. No returns or exchanges, please.
