Slingshot One-Lock Carbon Mast | Stiff Lightweight Carbon Foil Mast

The Slingshot One-Lock Carbon Mast is designed for riders who want maximum stiffness, low weight, and a clean, direct connection between board and foil. Built around Slingshot’s One-Lock system, it delivers precise control and efficient power transfer, whether you’re wingfoiling, downwinding, or pushing speed and glide.

This mast is all about feel. Less flex, faster response, and confidence when you load the foil hard.

Who It’s For

• Disciplines: Wingfoiling, freeride foiling, light wind cruising, downwind

• Conditions: Flat water to open water, small to medium swell

• Rider level: Intermediate to advanced riders looking for performance and precision

Key Features

• Full carbon construction – High stiffness-to-weight ratio for immediate response

• One-Lock system compatibility – Fast, solid connection with Slingshot One-Lock fuselages

• Refined foil section – Reduced drag for better glide and efficiency

• Lightweight feel – Easier pumping, smoother transitions, less fatigue

Real-World Feel

Compared to alloy masts, the One-Lock Carbon Mast feels noticeably more connected and reactive. There’s less delay when pumping onto foil, more control at speed, and better feedback when carving or riding swell.

If you’ve ever felt your foil “wash out” or twist slightly under load, the added stiffness here makes a real difference.
