655 mm. Shortest length — surf foiling specialists, learners, smaller riders, or anyone wanting tight manoeuvrability in shallow water.
725 mm. The compact all-rounder — surf focus with enough length for wing.
795 mm. The wing-foil sweet spot. Most common all-round choice for wing foilers.
865 mm. Longer length — downwind, heavier riders, bigger swell.

Honest advice from us
The Mk II Carbon is the mast we'd recommend for most riders stepping up from the Alloy range — it's the carbon entry point with proper Armstrong build quality. Where it fits in the trilogy:
- Mk II Carbon Mast (£809–£959) — this mast. Entry-tier carbon. 15.8 mm section.
- Performance Mk II Carbon Mast (£1,499–£1,639) — all-rounder. 13.8 mm, +30% bending / +20% torsional stiffness over Mk I. The do-it-all premium mast.
- Performance-X Carbon Mast (£2,139–£2,269) — specialist UHM 11.8 mm. Trades stiffness for efficiency — downwind / speed only.
Which length? 795 mm for wing foilers (the sweet spot). 655 or 725 for prone surf and compact setups. 865 for downwind or bigger riders.
Maximum lengths. Note: the Mk II Carbon only goes up to 865 mm — if you need 935 mm for max-length downwind, you need the Performance Mk II or Performance-X.
