How to attach the mast to the windsurfer board?

Windsurfing help Needed?

• I need an average price list for these items 1) Board, preferably high volume to allow you to uphaul without sinking. 2) Mast (usually fibreglass). 3) Boom, the bit you hold onto (preferably adjustable). 4) Uphaul (the bit of rope attached to you boom allowing you to pull the sail up). 5) Sail(s). The more sails you have the more likely you are to get out. 6) Mast foot/deckplate, this attaches the mast to the board. 7) Fins, on the bottom of the board (it should come with a fin). 8) Dagger board, the big fin in the centre of the board (again it should come with this). 9) Wetsuit & boots. 10) Harness & lines (the lines attach to your boom and your harness hooks onto them). and if you could let me know where I can go windsurfing in SA :D
