Four options: Aluminium 55 cm (£249) for shallow water and learning at the Marine Lake; Aluminium 75 and 85 cm (£259\/£269) for everyday all-round wingfoiling; Carbon T700 85 cm (£749) for the stiffest, lightest, most direct ride in the Reedin system. Redesigned thickness taper maximises rigidity while staying thin where it matters most. Conical box fuselage connection eliminates all play at the mast-fuselage join.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRiders replacing a Reedin mast, building a component setup, or upgrading from aluminium to carbon. The 55 cm aluminium is specifically for shallow water environments — West Kirby Marine Lake, dock-start practice, sheltered flat-water learning where the bottom comes up quickly. The 75 cm is the standard all-round length for coastal wingfoiling; the 85 cm gives a bit more altitude and is popular for both wingfoiling and downwind sessions. The Carbon T700 85 cm is for riders who want to feel the genuine difference stiffness makes — it transforms how every pump and weight shift translates to the foil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFour variants: Alu 55, Alu 75, Alu 85, Carbon T700 85\u003c\/strong\u003e — match depth, conditions and budget\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRedesigned thickness taper\u003c\/strong\u003e — maximum rigidity at the highest-load sections; minimum thickness at the wing attachment to reduce drag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConical box fuselage connection\u003c\/strong\u003e — clamping force spreads across all four walls of the box; no rattle, no play, no lost motion between feet and foil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eT700 pre-preg carbon (85 cm variant)\u003c\/strong\u003e — significantly stiffer and lighter than aluminium; every input feels more immediate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible with all Reedin fuselages\u003c\/strong\u003e — Standard and FuseLARGE, both FA and ElCapitano components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eReal-World Feel\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMast stiffness is one of the most underestimated variables in a foil setup. A flexy mast stores energy on every pump and releases it a beat late — creating a mushy, disconnected feel that costs efficiency and makes the foil harder to read. The redesigned Reedin aluminium taper improves significantly on previous generations. The Carbon T700 goes further: pumps are direct and immediate, tacks and gybes happen when you initiate them, and sustained foiling at speed feels locked-in and precise. If you want to know what your front wing is truly capable of, the carbon mast is the upgrade to make. The 55 cm aluminium, at the other end, is what makes West Kirby Marine Lake feel deep enough — critical when you're doing dock starts in 40 cm of water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSetup and Fit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll Reedin masts use the same tuttle board connection and the same conical box fuselage connection — no adapters needed when changing lengths or switching aluminium to carbon.

The aluminium range covers every budget and most scenarios; the Carbon T700 is for riders who want to discover what their setup can do when there's no energy lost in flex. We ride the 75 cm aluminium for everyday sessions at West Kirby and the carbon 85 when conditions and commitment align. If you're considering the carbon upgrade from aluminium, it will likely be the most noticeable single improvement you make to your setup.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"REEDIN","offers":[{"title":"Aluminium 55cm","offer_id":58358180381059,"sku":"RD24053.1","price":249.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Aluminium 75cm","offer_id":58358180413827,"sku":"RD24053.2","price":259.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Aluminium 85cm","offer_id":58358180446595,"sku":"RD24053.3","price":269.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Carbon T700 85cm","offer_id":58358180479363,"sku":"RD24054.1","price":749.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/9576\/6814\/files\/RD24053_1_AluMast_dfc36bf5-2cf6-4b82-865b-15f76c308833.webp?v=1782828151","url":"https:\/\/www.northernwatersports.co.uk\/products\/reedin-foil-mast-aluminium-carbon-flightattendant-elcapitano","provider":"Northern Watersports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
