The Starboard Aluminium Mast V8 is the hydrofoil mast by Starboard in aluminum—the vertical piece that joins your board with the fuselage and wings of your foil. It's the central component of any foil setup: the front wing, fuselage and stabilizer mount on it, and its stiffness and length determine the behavior of the whole system.

• Aluminum construction: robust, reliable and excellent performance-to-price ratio compared to carbon.
• V8 model, designed for Starboard's foil systems (iQFOiL and beginner/progression foil).
• Connects the board (via deep tuttle or plate) with the fuselage that holds the wings.
• The ideal option for someone starting in foiling or wanting a tough mast for everyday use.

How we recommend it at El Niño Mallorca. Aluminum is the sensible choice for getting into foiling: it handles crashes and learning without breaking the bank. Before you buy, confirm the connection system compatibility (deep tuttle or plate) and the length you need based on your level and discipline. If you're unsure, write to us and we'll advise you.
