Sometimes one can very easily obtain, sometimes free, carbon fibre windsurf masts with broken bases.
Simple to saw off the base (using proper dust/particle masks of course).

They don't react well to metal fastenings but wooden collars at the mount points can be easily fashioned and then the whole rig clamped as a steel mast would be, taking into consideration that the OD on these masts are approx 2 to 2.125 inches...... maybe less prone to lightning strikes??
