Armstrong A+ Performance Foil Mast

Armstrong A+ Performance Foil Mast

As the sport develops, riders push themselves and the equipment to the limits. After listening to feedback, we wanted to develop a new, innovative, ultra-high-performance mast that minimizes drag and ventilation while also being stiffer and even more responsive. – Armie Armstrong

Experience the next level of foiling with Armstrong’sstate-of-the-art Performance Mast range. Designed to enhance your riding experience, these masts incorporate cutting-edge technologies and top-of-the-line materials to deliver unparalleled performance on the water.

Crafted with a meticulous combination of high modulus (HM) and intermediate modulus (IM) carbon fibers, thePerformance Mast range achieves optimal load distribution across various sections of the mast. The high modulus carbon fibers minimize flex in the central strut area, ensuring maximum stiffness, while the intermediate modulus fibers provide exceptional tensile strength, catering to the complex shapes of the top plate and fuselage connection.

Armstrongincorporated proprietary titanium M7 mast top hardware, ensuring a strong, lightweight, and drag-reducing connection to your board. This meticulous attention to detail not only enhances the overall performance but also guarantees a seamless and effortless riding experience.

The Performance Mast range also introduces a mast rake angle, a groundbreaking feature that fine-tunes the board angle relative to the foil, offering a more comfortable and forgiving ride. It’s important to note that the mast rake angle does not alter the lifting force or balance of the foil itself, nor does it impact the foil’s “foot pressure” bias from front to back. Instead, it focuses on optimizing the board’s underwater performance.

The 1 degree of rake carefully integrated into the top of the Performance Mast shape delivers three key benefits:

1. Reduced Drag: By bringing the foil closer to 0 degrees when the board is in the water, drag is significantly reduced, making takeoffs smoother and more effortless.

2. Forgiving Landings: Touching down at speed or landing a jump becomes more forgiving, minimizing the risk of crashing headfirst over the board. The Performance Mast ensures a controlled and stable landing experience.

3. Enhanced Speed: Lifted slightly at the nose, the mast rake makes it easier to ride at higher speeds without the risk of catching the nose, even at steep riding angles. Enjoy the thrill of speed and precision without compromising stability.
