Pure Performance. Direct Control
Designed as the core performance mast in the range, the Performance Mk II Carbon Mast delivers a clear step forward in stiffness and control.
It provides sharp, direct feedback underfoot, allowing riders to stay fully connected to the foil in both powered and technical conditions. Whether pushing progression or refining technique, it offers a predictable and confident ride across all disciplines.
Control at Speed
A high stiffness profile translates rider input instantly into foil response. Turns feel sharper, lines feel cleaner, and stability improves as speed increases.
In variable conditions such as chop, wind swell, or current, the added rigidity delivers a more composed and controlled experience, helping riders stay balanced and in control.
Faster, Cleaner Ride
The refined 13.8 mm profile reduces drag, improving glide and acceleration across the entire speed range.
Structural optimization removes unnecessary material while reinforcing key load areas, creating a mast that feels both faster and more efficient without compromising strength.
Engineered for Performance
Built using a refined carbon layup with high and ultra-high modulus fibres, the mast achieves increased stiffness without excess weight.
The result is a precise, durable, and high-performance mast designed to deliver consistent performance session after session.
Fully compatible with the Armstrong A+ System, it integrates seamlessly into existing setups.
Positioning
Sitting at the center of the mast lineup, the Performance Mk II Carbon Mast is the go-to option for riders seeking a direct, responsive feel across a wide range of conditions.
Balanced, efficient, and predictable, it is designed to perform at the highest level without compromise.
