Poor guy is asking for 1 Solution:

Get the LONG MAST.

It is MORE robust, Stronger, and will give more down the road capability as you learn to turn it apparently doesn't breach as often. Sure you might fly a little higher but you probably will not be able to tell the difference in the beginning. It will all be scary.

Agree 100% here with beasho if no worries with water depth at his spot definately go with longer mast grow into it especially if on a tight bubget,much prefer my 29" mast vs 24" in most all conditions except perhaps a shallow low tide reef issue then throw the 24" on, but for me if I'm gonna have the only option of 1 mast in quiver go for the longer unless bottom conditions locally dictate otherwise.little different ballgame but prefer my 36" mast wave kite foiling generally over my 32" mast unless real smooth conditions less chance of breaching more carving turns
