Foil Drive Foil Assist Integrated Carbon Mast
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.
185MM The Magic Number
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.
Foward-set Motor Pod
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.
Please note that the Foil Drive motor and battery are NOT included with the mast. To complete the Armstrong x Foil Drive setup, check out the Foil Drive Bundles
