MASTS
Solid Core Carbon
Choose a Solid Core Carbon mast if you want:
- The stiffest and thinnest mast
- Stability and control at speed is a priority
C400 or C600?
- C400 uses high modulus HM carbon fibre (tensile modulus in the range of 400 GPa)
- C600 uses ultra high modulus UHM carbon fibre (tensile modulus from 600 GPa and higher)
Important note: by design convention, all our top plate masts have the fuselage angle set parallel to the board and all our Deep Tuttle masts have the fuselage angle set to 1.5° open.

C400 vs C600
CHOOSING THE RIGHT MAST SIZE
Pros:
Feels more direct and stable, flies lower which can be less scary, easier to control, easier to take off.
Cons:
Flying low makes foiling out (this when the wings come out of the water) easier. Wing tips also breach the water surface more easily.
Ideal for:
- Progressing foilers
- Downwind foilers who like to keep the wings flying close to the water surface
Pros:
A great all-round and versatile size. Masts in this size group still feel direct and stable while the higher flight compared to the 72-75cm size masts gives more flying room .
Cons:
Some riders prefer shorter masts and others will find it not long enough!
Ideal for:
- All-round foilers
- Freeride foilers
- Freestyle foilers
Pros:
A longer mast gives you more leverage, increasing the foil's speed. The wings can fly deeper underwater, minimizing wing-tip breach when carving hard or heeling to windward.
Cons:
Added weight, more technical to ride and control, flying higher can be scary for beginners!
Ideal for:
- Racers
- Advanced foilers
