Hi all 👋

Got the option of buying a f-one hm mast v1 for a good price but wondering if it’s worth paying more for the newer hm 14.

Anyone compared these 2 options?

I think it would be worth getting the hm 14 only if your into surf foiling or downwinding where you’ll notice slightly more efficiency pumping and turning due to less drag and more stiffness.

If you’re only wingfoiling or just beginning/intermediate level you might not notice a difference.

If you’re over 200 lbs or using a huge wingspan foil like the Eagle 1290 or Jam then you might consider the 16 hm.
