Moses would be the one to get.790 is about the same as the 76 slingshot so not for ultra light wind, but good all around.
I would go for the longest mast available. Seems like tuttle will be all you need unless you want to sup or wing

I was speaking with a dealer and they say it looks like Moses is stopping their aluminum program, and is doubtful that any aluminum masts will be shipped. They don't have any 95 aluminum masts and have had an open order for quite a while now. The timing isn't surprising because of COVID though.

I agree on avoiding the short masts for windfoiling, except maybe for shallow spots, but if you are riding somewhere that shallow you will likely still bottom out a short mast at some point. I don't see them offering any value the way they do for learning to kitefoil. If anything I wish my 95cm mast was a 105.

sorry, sort of off-topic, but are there any local dealers selling sup foil boards? googling isn't turning anything up for me so far.

What kind are you looking for in terms of volume? SUP/ Windsurf (windsup) or pure SUP?

looking for approximately 140L up to 7'6 but shorter preferred.

edit: pure sup, or surf oriented.

Lots of Seattle guys use Slingshot masts in wider boards with large sails. Personally I think the wings aren't suited to more than a 7.5m sail and 80cm board but they seem to make it work.


Hi there
where did you get the adapter from ?
Did you make it yourself ?
