Ultra-Thin Mast for Maximum Efficiency and Glide.
“Right off the bat… cleaner, faster, bigger range, tighter turns. Everything about it felt insane.” — Billy Bosch, Good Breeze
“Holy, what am I riding?” — Aiden Nichols’ first impression on Performance X
“Less drag… so slick and clean. I can ride it deep, shallow — incredible.” — Laitham Kellum
“Quicker turning left to right… a lot more surfy. Love that.” — Gordon Harrison
Precision built for max glide and minimal drag.
The new Performance-X Carbon Mast 11.8mm is a deliberate choice for riders for prioritize glide, speed, and refined turning feel over maximum stiffness. Ideal for downwind, fast winging, and clean carving lines.
The Performance-X’s section is all about minimal resistance, maximum flow. With a 106.8mm chord and just 11.8mm of thickness, it delivers a lighter, looser feel in the water especially noticeable when laying into turns. The Performance-X has been engineered to thrive at these dimensions, letting you work with the forces of the foil, not against them. The result? A freer, more agile ride that rewards finesse.
Mast Top & Bottom: Refined Connections
The mast top and fuselage sleeve have undergone topological shape optimization, beefing up strength exactly where it’s needed and trimming weight and drag where it’s not. These connection points aren’t just stiffer, they’re smarter, delivering clean hydrodynamics and serious durability without bulk. Sleek, strong, and made to disappear underfoot.
Outline Design: Optimized Angles and Taper
Each size in the Performance-X range is tuned with specific angles fine-tuning the sweet spot of control across the speed range. the 725 and 795 have a 0.5 degree angle and the 865 and 935 have a 1 degree angle. Combined that with a refined taper, the mast balances all-around control and low drag efficiency, making it feel smooth and intuitive.
All Masts Include:
Light Wind Specialist: “8-9 knots? The Performance X turns marginal days into high-performance sessions.”
Turn & Carve Machine: “Shorter cord + thinner profile = faster, looser turns with more drift control.”
Built for Progression: “MKII Carbon gives you reliable stiffness at an accessible price — perfect step up.”
Premium Engineering: “20% thinner yet stiffer — an engineering feat that you feel immediately.”
Complete Setup: “Pair with X-Wing Performance wings and Mid-Length MKII boards for the ultimate Armstrong quiver.”
