Slingshot Phantasm Aluminum Wide Mast V1 – Durable, Stiff, and Performance-Ready Foil Mast

The Slingshot Phantasm Aluminum Wide Mast V1 is a high-performance yet accessible mast designed for riders looking to step confidently into advanced hydrofoil surf wing, wing foiling, foil surfing, and wind foiling. Built with durability, stiffness, and modular compatibility in mind, this mast delivers a stable and efficient connection between board and foil, ensuring optimal control across a wide range of riding styles.

Engineered as part of the Phantasm foil ecosystem, this wide mast version is specifically optimized for enhanced stiffness and power transfer, making it particularly effective in high-load disciplines like wind foiling and powered wing sessions.

Designed for Strength, Stability, and Performance

At the core of the Phantasm Aluminum Wide Mast V1 is its robust construction using 7075 aircraft-grade aluminum, a material known for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. This ensures the mast remains rigid under pressure while maintaining a relatively lightweight feel.

Compared to older mast designs, this model is:

• Approximately 15% lighter
• Around 12% stronger and stiffer than previous Hover Glide masts

This increased stiffness translates into better energy transfer, improved control, and reduced flex when carving, pumping, or riding at speed.

Wide Mast Profile for Maximum Efficiency

The “Wide” designation refers to the mast’s increased chord width, which enhances structural rigidity and hydrodynamic efficiency.

Benefits of the wide mast design:

• Increased torsional stiffness for precise control
• Improved power transfer during acceleration
• Enhanced stability under heavy loads
• Better performance for larger boards and sails

This makes it particularly well-suited for wind foiling, where higher forces are applied, but it also performs exceptionally in wing foil setups for riders seeking added stability.

Optimized for Wind Foiling and Wing Foiling

While versatile across disciplines, the Wide Mast V1 is especially targeted at wind-driven foiling applications.

Ideal disciplines:

• Wind foiling in powered conditions
• Wing foiling progression and freeride
• Hydrofoil surf wing setups requiring stiffness
• Foil surfing with larger boards

Its stiffness and speed-oriented profile allow riders to maintain control even at higher speeds, making it a reliable choice for both intermediate and advanced users.

Modular Compatibility with Phantasm System

One of the biggest advantages of the Phantasm Aluminum Wide Mast V1 is its full compatibility with the modular Phantasm foil system.

Compatibility features:

• Works with all Phantasm fuselages
• Compatible with Hover Glide components via adapters
• Includes pedestal mount for standard track systems
• Supports multiple mast lengths and configurations

This modular design allows riders to customize their setup without needing to replace the entire foil system, making it a cost-effective upgrade path.

Built for Durability and Everyday Use

Unlike carbon masts that prioritize lightweight performance at a higher cost, this aluminum mast is designed for durability and accessibility.

Durability highlights:

• Resistant to impacts and heavy loads
• Ideal for learning, progression, and advanced riding
• Maintains structural integrity during jumps and crashes

The mast is engineered to handle demanding conditions, whether you are pushing limits in freestyle or cruising in rough water.

Smooth Hydrodynamics for Speed and Glide

The refined foil profile of the mast minimizes drag while maintaining structural strength. This allows for smoother water flow and improved glide efficiency.

Performance advantages:

• Reduced drag for higher speeds
• Stable ride in choppy conditions
• Efficient lift transfer from foil to board

These characteristics make it an excellent addition to any foil surfing or hydrofoil surf wing setup where efficiency and speed are key.
