Macro, this is very off topic (may need a new thread), but have you considered getting rid of that bulky pole that destroys the noses of so many boards, and something that is integrated into the sail itself so that mast/sail is one piece ? (less equipment = less confusion).
That's simple enough. Get rid of the pole, and pump up the sleeve like the kiters do. No more nose damage from catapults, or mast snaps in the breakers. A few guys wires (some of those trained spiders will take care of this) along the length of the sleeve down to your harness should reduce the necessary air pressure to keep it stiff.
