Looking for a cheap short mast for small days. Which is better?
If you decide to go Axis route I have a uni adapter I can ship you
I use the Axis 19mm mast as my short mast(75mm). Probably loose some performance vs my katana 83 but not as dramatic as changing even tails. Bonus I can swap to my Axis 1300 for micro days and dw. These days it’s dedicated to my Foil Drive setup. If I were sticking with only uni I would get the unifoil Al mast as I think it’s thinner.
Yeah I’m in the same boat, just a hair smaller with the progression 800 being a hair too big for our smallest days.
Part of it is depth but it’s also just having the foil a little closer to that shallow short period energy.
I have both at 75cm. the uni is ever so slightly thinner but the chord is slightly longer. it feels slippery but with a little less roll. the axis 75 with the adaptor is shorter than the uni by 1cm+.
the fit on the uni is much tighter than the axis adaptor. Both are stiff and work great
Awesome, thanks for sharing the comparison. Have been wondering…
What option did you end up going with? I was wondering the same thing haha
