Armstrong Performance X Carbon Mast

Precision built for max glide and minimal drag

The Armstrong Performance-X Carbon Mast is the most efficient mast in the range, designed to push the limits of glide, speed and turning freedom. Developed over three years of testing and refinement, it features an ultra-thin profile and advanced construction to deliver maximum efficiency without sacrificing control.

Built for riders who prioritize glide and performance feel over maximum stiffness, this mast delivers a fast, reactive and highly efficient ride across multiple foiling disciplines.

Ultra-Thin, High Efficiency Profile

• Ultra-thin 12 mm profile for minimal drag
• Significant efficiency gains over thicker mast sections
• Improved glide and higher top speeds

Optimized for Turning

• 106 mm chord for reduced turning resistance
• Improved roll rate and agility
• Looser, more responsive feel in turns

Ultra-High Modulus Carbon Construction

• Built with ultra-high modulus carbon
• Refined layup for strength and control
• 10% increase in torsional stiffness
• 10% increase in bending stiffness
• No increase in overall weight

Refined Structural Design

• Updated mast top and fuselage interfaces
• Material removed where not required
• Reinforced high-load areas
• Improved load transfer and hydrodynamic efficiency

Tuned Rake Angles

Each mast length features a refined rake angle to balance lift, glide and control, improving pumping efficiency and ensuring smooth transitions through manoeuvres.

Pure Efficiency

Every element of the Performance-X Carbon Mast is focused on reducing drag and maximizing glide. Riders can maintain speed more easily, travel further with less effort and stay on foil longer, making it ideal for efficiency-driven riding.

Thin, Fast, Free

The reduced thickness and optimized chord create a lighter, more agile feel on the water. Turns are smoother and more reactive, encouraging fluid movement and clean, efficient lines.

Efficiency First

This mast excels in cleaner conditions where glide and speed are key. It offers smoother transitions, improved acceleration and easier speed generation, making it ideal for riders focused on performance and technique refinement.
