Seams like there are a few folks on the Gold Coast riding Signature but anyone between Newcastle and the Sydney riding them.
Curious to give one ago.
Thanks

If your sup foiling then I reckon you will find the mast a bit floppy, I tried one a while back and towed with the stealth 175 which was a great wing, tried sup foiling on the albatross 210 and the thing had a mind of its own, couldn't ride it :(

That must have been quite a while ago. the current mast is very stiff

Currently SUP downwinding, dock starting and riding wakes using the 210 Albatross and '21 mast, and I'd say the setup is towards the stiffer end of the spectrum.

You can try mine if you'd like Rod.

iI'd agree with Brad and Camarillo comments above. The newer masts are pretty stiff. They're great foils.

I am looking at a used Signature Foil. Can anyone tell, when they improved the mast?

Think it was late 2019, about same time as the Game Changer wings came out mate.

How you figure it stacks up against the current generation of stiff masts(stiffy's)?

Not sure mate as I personally have not compared them but I do know that Sig are bringing out a new mast for their new HE wings.

Soon you will be able to order mast's in 3 x different layups. I can't remember the exact specs but they are something like over 30% stiffer than the current mast.
