Slingshot Hover Glide Aluminum Mast -15"

15" mast compatible with the Hover Glide NF2 Foil.

Slingshot's Description
Getting a feel for how your foil behaves is much easier, and safer, with a shorter and more manageable mast. This stage is called the Taxi stage, as in an airplane taxiing around the runway. Staring with the 15-inch mast will help you master the basic foiling skills like how to properly carry your foil, how to swim and body drag with it, how to get it in position to water start and how to get it under your feet and moving through the water. With a shorter mast, you’ll learn these basic steps much faster and easier than if you were struggling with a full-size one. Once you’re comfortable with the foil beneath your feet, have a basic understanding of how it behaves, can taxi back and forth like a regular surfboard and are able to ride short distances out of the water via the foil, you’ll be ready to graduate to the 24-inch mast.
