Yeah I did notice the Armstrong mast had some flex be interesting to see how it goes with the new big wings . The MFC was the same but the new model mast is very stiff but team riders did say they liked the flex but I think that's more from the prone crew than the Sup crew.

Hey Robert yes I would agree with you in theory re wider mast harder to turn but in practice it's just not the case. Pretty good example here of Keahi on the NP carbon mast which is still very close to the Alu mast in width , strength and flex and much wider than other mast on the market. He's got this thing turning on a dime. Not saying you can't do this on other foils just pointing out a wider mast doesn't stop you from doing it. I'm an Armstrong fan BTW and think it's build quality is second to none.

Yeah still not case Hilly there's a bunch of us riding them here constantly clocking over 30kph and throwing them hard around . We all swap try all the different brands on the water and no one has ever said it's harder to turn. Very fortunate here on the Gold Coast we have access to pretty well every Foil

When do you get yours ? You must be frothing.

That video of Keahi is awesome ab he sure does make it turn tight. I agree that for most uses a wider mast is great because it reduces torsional flex and has little downside.
We have noticed the difference mostly when tow in surfing in bigger waves at high speeds with small wings, where the width of the mast does make a noticeable difference in my opinion.

Awesome foil. So different to the Axis foils. Feels more 'surfy' if that is a word. More back foot orientated, short fuse helps with that. Love it and 'no fizz bro'
Wings feel smaller than equivalent Axis wing so tempted by the 2400 wing for tiny stuff. Just seriously exxxy

It might not be lower weight making you less stable hilly. Mast flex is the enemy of stability for SUP surfers.

Not a wobble which I got if the axis was loose just a less planted feel. The axis mast full of water has some weight. Wish they could seal them properly.
