Precision built. System driven. Rider focused.
After three years of development, real-world testing and pushing gear to its limits,
Armstrong Foils is stoked to introduce the all-new Carbon Mast Range. Built to give
riders a clear choice between maximum efficiency, all-round performance and
progression, this range delivers a whole new level of connection, control and feel on the
water.
Built around the proven A+ System, every mast keeps that trusted, consistent
connection while unlocking a consistent connection for the next era of modern foiling.
Performance-X Carbon Mast
Precision built for maximum glide and efficiency.
Leading the range is the Performance-X Carbon Mast, Armstrong’s fastest and most
efficient mast to date. Featuring an ultra-thin 12 mm profile and reduced chord, it is
engineered to push the limits of glide, speed and turning freedom without sacrificing
control.
Developed over three years of testing, Performance-X delivers a lighter, more reactive
ride, allowing riders to accelerate effortlessly, link sections seamlessly and stay on foil
longer. It feels fast, fluid and alive underfoot, unlocking a new level of efficiency-driven
performance.
Key highlights include:
• Ultra-thin 12 mm profile for maximum efficiency and reduced drag
• Reduced chord for faster, more reactive turning
• Ultra-high modulus carbon construction for strength without added weight
• Refined connections for improved load transfer and hydrodynamic flow
• Tuned rake by size for balanced lift, glide and control
Performance Mk II Carbon Mast
The heart of the range, built for all-round performance
At the core of the range sits the Performance Mk II Carbon Mast, delivering the most
direct and predictable ride feel Armstrong has produced. With significant increases in
torsional and bending stiffness, it offers unmatched control, stability and confidence.
This is the go-to performance mast for riders who want one setup that performs across
everything. No matter the conditions, foil size or discipline, Performance Mk II delivers a
locked-in, responsive feel that keeps riders fully connected to their setup.
Key highlights include:
• 20% increase in torsional stiffness and 30% increase in bending stiffness
• Refined 13.8 mm profile for improved efficiency
• Direct, immediate feedback with a stable, predictable ride feel
• Tuned rake by size for optimal lift and control
Mk II Carbon Mast
Stable and forgiving, built for progression.
Rounding out the range, the Mk II Carbon Mast delivers a confidence-inspiring entry into
carbon performance. Designed for reliability and everyday use, it offers a smooth, stable
and forgiving ride that supports progression from the very first session.
With a slightly thicker profile and neutral rake, it provides a predictable platform that
builds confidence while maintaining the performance and durability expected from
Armstrong.
Key highlights include:
• Stable 15.8 mm profile for control and predictability
• Neutral 0° rake for simple, intuitive setup
• High modulus carbon construction for durability and reliability
• Smooth, forgiving ride feel ideal for progression
Across the entire range, one thing remains constant, the connection. Built on the A+
System, every mast delivers a familiar, trusted feel that evolves with the rider.
A+ System – One System. All Time.
