The fee is 2.5% of the sale amount and will be deducted from your refund. This condition ONLY applies to payments made through the link on our invoices.
If you purchase directly from our website and pay via the website there will be no refund fee, and the same applies to PayPal payments as neither of these payment gateways charge non refundable fees on payments.
Armstrong Performance-X Carbon Mast
Description
Description
Precision built for max glide and minimal drag.
The Performance X Carbon Mast 12mm is a deliberate choice for riders who prioritise glide, speed and refined turning feel over maximum stiffness. Ideal for downwind, fast winging, and clean carving lines.
The Performance-X Carbon Mast represents the most efficient mast in the Armstrong
lineup. Designed to push the limits of glide, speed, and turning freedom, it delivers a
refined, ultra-thin profile without sacrificing control. Developed over three years of testing and refinement, it is built for riders seeking maximum efficiency and a more reactive, performance-driven feel on the water.

Pure Efficiency
Built as a specialist performance mast, the Performance-X Carbon Mast prioritizes glide
and drag reduction above all else. Every element of its design is focused on efficiency, allowing riders to travel further with less effort, maintain speed through transitions, and stay on foil longer. It is a mast designed for progression through efficiency, not just power.
Ultra-High Modulus Construction
The use of ultra-high modulus carbon allows for an exceptionally thin profile while
maintaining the strength and control needed for high performance riding.
This advanced construction delivers improved stiffness without added weight, creating a
precise, responsive feel underfoot even at higher speeds.
Thin, Fast, Free
The reduced thickness and optimized chord create a noticeably lighter, more agile ride.
Turning feels looser and more reactive, with less resistance through direction changes.
The setup feels more alive, encouraging fluid movement and clean, efficient lines.
Efficiency First
On the water, the Performance-X Carbon Mast delivers smoother transitions, increased
glide, and easier generation of speed.
It performs best in cleaner conditions and efficiency focused riding, where reduced drag
and lighter handling can be fully appreciated. For riders seeking maximum stability in
heavy conditions, a thicker mast may still be preferred, but for those prioritizing glide
and speed, this mast stands apart.
Positioning
Sitting at the top of the mast range, the Performance-X Carbon Mast is a specialist
choice for riders prioritizing efficiency, glide, and a more reactive turning feel.
It is best suited to intermediate to advanced riders looking to push speed, refine
technique, and unlock a more efficient style of riding.
