OXZAMast selection guide: M vs MX vs MTC, and which length
Profile
| Line | Profile | Feel | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| REVSTAR-M | Standard, thicker, tapered | Stable, trusted, broad use | Progression, large wings (A 800–1100), windsurf-foil |
| REVSTAR-MX | Thinner wetted section | Faster, cleaner, reduced drag | Carve / Race wings, experienced riders, speed |
| REVSTAR-MTC | Twin-Connect head | Flexibility across boards | Riders with both pedestal and tuttle boards |
Length
| Length | Who | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 74 cm | First sessions, flat water, small wings | Easiest to recover from a touchdown; breaches easily in chop |
| 84 cm | Learning to progressing | Forgiving with enough margin for small chop |
| 94 cm | Most wingfoilers | The all-round length — chop, turns, first downwinders |
| 104 cm | Advanced wing, kitefoil, downwind | More pitch margin, carves deeper without breaching |
| 110–128 cm | Kite race, windsurf-foil freeride | Holds through swell and upwind angles |
| 146 cm | Windsurf-foil race | Maximum height for race lines |
Available lengths: M 74 · 84 · 94 · 104 · 114 · 128 · 146 — MX 85 · 95 · 100 · 110 · 125 — MTC 80 · 90 · 100 · 110 · 120.
Length by discipline
- Wingfoil: 84 → 94 → 104 as you progress. Gorge chop favours 94+.
- Windsurf-foil: 94–114 freeride; 128–146 race with FU1000.
- Kitefoil: 94–110 freeride; longer for race.
- Downwind / parawing: 94–110, paired with L-family wings.
Common mistakes
- Too short to feel safe. 74 cm is a learning tool, not a destination. Most riders outgrow it in weeks.
- Too long too soon. A 110 cm mast magnifies every pitch error. Earn it.
- Matching profile to wing badly. Big A wings on an MX are fine; the MX was built for lower-drag wings, so you give up some of what you paid for.
Then the fuselage
The mast bolts to the fuselage, which decides the connection your wings need. Next: the fuselage selection guide.
Questions
What foil mast length should I choose?
Learning: 74–84 cm. Progressing wingfoil in chop: 84–94 cm. Advanced wingfoil, downwind and kite: 94–114 cm. Windsurf-foil race: 114–146 cm. Longer masts handle chop and give pitch margin; shorter masts are easier to recover on touchdowns.
What is the difference between REVSTAR-M and REVSTAR-MX masts?
M is the standard thicker tapered profile — stable, trusted, supports the largest wings. MX is a thinner wetted profile for lower drag and a cleaner, faster feel. Both use the same fuselage interface.
What is an MTC mast?
MTC is OXZA's Twin-Connect mast. The board-side head accepts either a pedestal or a tuttle box, so one mast works across boards with different mounts.
