ARMSTRONG FOIL DRIVE Foil Assist Integrated Carbon Mast

Seamless power assist meets signature Armstrong feel.
Fully Integrated, freakishly smooth.

The Armstrong Foil Drive Integrated Foil Assist Carbon Mast redefines what’s possible with powered foiling. Unlike standard integrated systems, this setup is purpose-built to reduce drag and unlock a smoother ride from takeoff to touchdown.

For beginners, that means easier lift and no more sudden stalls when the motor pod hits the water. For advanced riders, it’s seamless wave performance, which can glide through without experiencing drag or stopping abruptly, unlike with standard designs, where hitting the motor pod can cause you to bog.

Whether you’re chasing bumps on windless days or just starting out, it turns small waves into endless sessions with unmatched performance.

Please note: Foil Drive Motor and Battery are not included with the mast. To complete the Armstrong Foil Drive Kit, check out the bundle here.

SPECIFICATIONS:

Length: 795mm
Pod Height: 185mm

KEY FEATURES:

Pod Height - The Sweet Spot
The 185mm motor pod position hits the sweet spot for most foil-assist disciplines, low drag,
well-balanced, and basically invisible once you’re on foil. While some advanced riders prefer
to mount it closer to the board, and beginners stretch it out to 220mm for extra margin,
185mm remains the goldilocks zone for everyday versatility.

Full integrated for efficiency - Smoother Lift, Lower Drag
The motor pod is positioned further forward than typical integrations, reducing drag at the
front end and enhancing lift from the prop. The result? Seamless acceleration and a
noticeably smoother ride when powering up.

Design - Industry-leading Performance
This mast uses the same layup and design DNA as our industry-leading Performance Carbon
Mast meaning you get high stiffness, low flex, and ultra-precise feedback whether you’re
pumping through bumps or carving through sections.

Construction - Built the Armstrong Way
Manufactured with Toray high modulus carbon fiber and finished to the same spec as our
Performance Masts, this mast is built to handle real-world torsional loads without flinching.
Premium construction meets plug-and-play practicality for Foil Drive riders.

A+System - The ultimate modular foil assembly system.
The A+ System is our proprietary foil assembly designs that join the mast, fuselage, front foil,
and stabilizer with a hexagonal tapered fit into the front foil. This design is incredibly strong,
torsionally rigid, and durable when combined with our material selection. Paired with our
premium titanium and stainless steel hardware, corrosion is minimized and the whole
package has an industry-leading fit and finish.
