High-Stiffness Carbon Foil Mast
Slingshot Phantasm Carbon Mast V1.1
A lightweight, highly rigid carbon mast for riders who want faster response, precise foil feedback and less swing weight from their Phantasm foil system.
The Slingshot Phantasm Carbon Mast V1.1 combines a dual-molded, super-high-modulus carbon layup with an internal carbon I-beam and Slingshot’s enlarged Bigfoot lower connection. The result is a direct, predictable mast designed to maintain control through carving, pumping, powered wing foiling and higher-speed riding.
- Dual-Molded Carbon
- High-Stiffness Construction
- Phantasm Foil System
- 72–102cm Lengths
Why Choose the Phantasm Carbon Mast?
Dual-Molded Carbon Layup
Unidirectional carbon and 12K super-high-modulus pre-preg carbon are precisely arranged to resist bending and unwanted torsional movement.
Internal Carbon I-Beam
A reinforcing I-beam made with 12K and 24K carbon adds rigidity through the mast structure for more dependable feedback under load.
Direct Foil Response
Reduced flex helps rider input reach the foil quickly, producing cleaner carving response, controlled pumping and a more connected feel.
Bigfoot Lower Connection
Slingshot’s enlarged mast-to-fuselage connection creates a broad, solid junction designed to limit movement where the mast meets the Phantasm lower assembly.
Lower Swing Weight
The carbon construction is considerably lighter than the comparable Phantasm aluminum mast, making the foil easier to pump, redirect and carry.
Solid Pedestal Connection
The included pedestal provides a secure board connection and allows fore-and-aft mast positioning in compatible twin-track foil boards.
Mast Sizes and Published Weights
| Mast Length | Approx. Imperial Length | Published Weight | Recommended Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| 72cm | 28 3/8 in. | 3.31 lb / 1.50 kg | Prone surf, wake, dock starts, kite foiling and shallower locations |
| 82cm | 32 5/16 in. | 3.75 lb / 1.70 kg | All-around wing, surf and freeride foiling |
| 92cm | 36 1/4 in. | 3.97 lb / 1.80 kg | Open-water winging, swell, chop and powered riding |
| 102cm | 40 3/16 in. | 4.63 lb / 2.10 kg | Wind foiling, high-speed riding and locations requiring maximum ride height |
Which Length Should You Choose?
72cm — Maximum Control
Choose the 72cm for shallow water, prone foiling, wake foiling, dock starts or kite foiling. Its shorter length reduces leverage and makes touchdowns and low-speed corrections more manageable.
82cm — Best All-Around
The most versatile option for general wing and surf foiling. It provides useful clearance in moderate chop without the additional leverage of a very long mast.
92cm — Open Water
Select the 92cm for open-water winging, larger swell and powered conditions. The extra ride height provides more room to bank the foil and pass through uneven water.
102cm — Maximum Clearance
Best suited to experienced windfoil and high-speed riders who need maximum clearance. It requires deeper water and produces more leverage on the board and fuselage than the shorter options.
Carbon V1.1 vs. Phantasm Aluminum Mast
| Feature | Phantasm Carbon V1.1 | Phantasm Aluminum V1 |
|---|---|---|
| Best For | Performance-focused riders prioritizing stiffness, low weight and precise feedback | Riders prioritizing value, durability and an economical entry into the Phantasm system |
| Construction | Dual-molded pre-preg carbon with internal carbon I-beam | 7075 aircraft-grade aluminum |
| Riding Feel | Lighter, more immediate and highly responsive | Solid and predictable, with more overall system weight |
| Available Lengths | 72, 82, 92 and 102cm | 72, 82 and 92cm |
| 72cm Weight | 3.31 lb / 1.50 kg | 5.07 lb / 2.30 kg |
| 82cm Weight | 3.75 lb / 1.70 kg | 5.51 lb / 2.50 kg |
| 92cm Weight | 3.97 lb / 1.80 kg | 5.95 lb / 2.70 kg |

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best all-around size?
The 82cm is the most versatile choice for typical wing and surf foiling. It provides useful clearance while remaining easier to control than the 92 or 102cm options.
Why choose carbon instead of aluminum?
Carbon substantially reduces mast weight and provides a stiffer, more immediate connection between the rider and foil. Aluminum remains the better value for riders who do not need the lightest setup.
Does it work with One-Lock foils?
No. This is a Phantasm-system mast. Slingshot One-Lock lower planes use a different connection and require a compatible One-Lock mast.
Is this a complete foil?
No. The mast package includes the pedestal, cover and mounting hardware, but the compatible fuselage, front wing, stabilizer and foil board are sold separately.
