Well, Erik already got his mast apart, but here's one more for the
file - as seen on rec.windsurfing, along with a recommendation NOT
to simply twist things apart, suggesting that is likely to cause
more joint damage.

  Support the mast on two beach chairs, benches, whatever, with the
  joint in the middle. Flex the mast where the joint is; you should
  hear the sand crunch in the joint. Rotate the mast a bit and repeat
  the flex in a new direction. A few repetitions should enable you
  to pull the halves apart.
