Anyone know where I can get suction cup mast or mast fitting for sup board, so I can windsurf in light wind conditions?

just get a toilet plunger and nail it, or scotch tape it, to your mast base then attach to your SUP - done!

Make sure you post the video of how good it works up here later.

Eric, ther e is a thread about plugging 4 windsurf mast plugs into your carry slot.
One of these has a mastbase nut glued into it and you screw in a standard base.
Should work up to 5 knots or so, after that you better buy a Wally (Windsurfer One Design)

Or I might just screw it into the vent hole... I am not the most industrious in these things..

Might not be a good idea. There might not be much reinforcing and it could rip out.

on the other hand if it did you could repair it with a mast track

I think it will leak if it doesn't rip out. Stick with the toilet plunger but PLEASE post some video of the trial. I heard of a bald guy who used one as a gopro mount on his head.

I wonder if the nails hurt?
