Stay high, stay consistent, stay fluid. A stable medium tempo mast ideal for small to mid size waves. If you are riding behind a jets, pontoon boat, waterski boat, unweight wake boat there won't be as much water turning underneath. So a 24" mast is a perfect length for that shallower power zone. If you are using too tall of a mast and have a shallow wave - the wing will be too far below the power zone and the foil won't hook up the way it should with a shorter mast. Speed, lift and travel usually override arguably the most important aspect of your mast – the flow. We have tested a variety of foils in the marketplace. A common theme was feeling the foil setup turning in stages. Each pivot would be good for another “X” degrees until you finally arced through a sectioned turn. We were looking for an effortless turn like you get from ripping powder. A shape manifested with a built-in metronome to keep a consistent, prolonged cadence. The temperament of this mast will see you through the progression of flight all the way to second wave exploration nearly 80 feet from the boat. A fluid session will always have you feeling in control of your ride as you comfortably stand upright in a natural foil position. Don’t let it fool you though -it’s still very much capable of jumping on the gas for a port to starboard wave transfer – just with smooth, linked predictable turns.
