Your legs will have the strength to counter the lever of such a small mast. However, you will not be able to actually fly with it. It is therefore to be reserved at the first hour of practice.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn surf foil\u003c\/em\u003e: This allows you to take your first waves with peace of mind, because a short mast is more stable, the balance being easier because your center of gravity is also lower. But quickly, as soon as the first stable flights are mastered, it’s preferable to switch to a longer mast which will offer more tolerance and limit errors. This is very clearly a short-term investment, but it will allow you to start without being afraid, and you could keep it to initiate skeptical mates and all those who will inevitably ask you to test your foil.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe 65 cm mast\u003c\/strong\u003e, suitable for surfing and SUP foiling, as well as for beginners in kite foil and wing foil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn a kite foil\u003c\/em\u003e: It will allow you to start without being afraid and to carry out your first hours of flight.

It can also be used by experienced people in particular configurations: spots with very little depth for example. But like in a kite foil, as soon as you master the flight, you will move towards a longer mast. The 65cm mast is a real advantage only in the first 5 sessions.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn surf foil and SUP foil\u003c\/em\u003e: The 65 cm mast is the reference size in surf and SUP foil.

No more touchdowns that unbalance you. This is the size we recommend for performance with an aluminum mast. It will also give you the necessary headroom in the waves to manage the steepness of the waves. Just like in light wind because by flying high in the gust you gain a margin for the windholes where you can maintain speed with a slight nose dive of the board.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarning: it is only compatible with parts of the Foil Allvator V1.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot compatible with the new parts of the Foil Allvator V2.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScrews not included, your needs are :\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePLATE SCREW : \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.gong-galaxy.com\/en\/product\/gong-foil-screw-countersunk-head-torx-m6\/?attribute_pa_l\"\u003e3X (M6X30MM)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eFUSELAGE SCREW : \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.gong-galaxy.com\/en\/product\/gong-foil-screw-countersunk-head-torx-m6\/?attribute_pa_l\"\u003e3X (M6X30MM)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GONG","offers":[{"title":"45 cm","offer_id":48031027298623,"sku":"GON1FOILALLMAST45","price":67.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"65 cm","offer_id":48031027331391,"sku":"GON1FOILALLMAST65","price":82.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"80 cm","offer_id":48031027364159,"sku":"GON1FOILALLMAST80","price":97.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"90 cm","offer_id":48031027396927,"sku":"GON1FOILALLMAST90","price":97.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0791\/5975\/5071\/files\/gong-foil-allvator-aluminium-mast-v1_IMG_1_b060dd7c-3ae7-4102-ab50-ec8fc55738dc.png?v=1721903572","url":"https:\/\/www.gong-galaxy.com\/en-ca\/products\/gong-foil-allvator-aluminium-mast-v1","provider":"GONG Galaxy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
