I have never really showed the cover that also comes with our mast, mostly because we have trouble making enough of them for when the masts arrive but I think they are great plus 100% aussie made. Here is a quick vid showing the cover that also holds the fuse and tail wing.
Appreciate the crew who have jumped on and are liking the masts as well!!

Not so good if you leave your gear attached to the board and foil but you need it protected to stop it rubbing on things.

Yeah with every positive there is a negative I guess, usually if I leave it all attached I have the front wing cover on which protects it when sitting on the ground which solves most of the rubbing issues.
Maybe just like a wetsuit wrap cover for just the mast section might be a thought as well just for those who leave it together all the time, will look into something.

Mine is the car fully assembled attached to wing or tow board with wings and tow boogie. Not much spare room

Good idea. With Velcro so you can easily take it on and off with foil and/or fuse still on.

Hey all, i just got the One UHM 78cm SSS mast, coming off the axis 75cm HM mast. I can confirm it does everything as advertised! Much stiffer and faster than the axis! Im 83kg, dw riding the fireball 1070, i felt a bit wobbly at times on the axis mast, esp when it was messy, i was never gunna justify the $ axis ultra pro mast. I was sceptical that anyone could make an equivalent at half the price but im stoked i took the punt because it absolutely delivered. I used to have to nurse my old setup thru messy backwashy sections riding lower on the mast, the last two runs on the new gear totally confident to stay high and fast. It also proned great (spitfire 900). I think the One guys have another uhm model (SS) which is targeted at heavier dudes or riding wider wings (eg art pro 1201). I have no connection to the One guys, bought the mast myself (got lucky on fb marketplace), just thought the One guys deserved a massive shout out cause this mast is legit. If anyone reading this lives in Sydney and wants to eyeball one before committing, happy to show you!
