The flex is barely noticeable at beginner and intermediate speeds; the cost saving (versus carbon) is significant; and aluminium handles impact better. Carbon makes a real difference at advanced speeds and pumping cadence, not before.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhat is the mast length and material?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003e80 cm length, 6061 aluminium with a hardened anodised finish. Length is the most common wing-foil and kite-foil starting point. Compatible with every wing and fuselage in the FoilHive range, you don't need to rethink the mast when you swap a wing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eIs the mast included in a complete subscription?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost riders subscribe to a full kit (mast + fuselage + front wing + tail wing) and the mast is one of the four components billed monthly.

Stainless is non-negotiable around saltwater. Lost or corroded bolts are covered under FoilCare and replaced when the mast cycles back through Tarifa for inspection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"FoilHive","offers":[{"title":"80cm","offer_id":52934120833366,"sku":"SS25-ONFL-019","price":224.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/7894\/1526\/files\/mast_new.png?v=1776414402","url":"https:\/\/foilhive.com\/products\/foilhive-aluminium-mast","provider":"FoilHive","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
