Duotone Mast Aero Mid QM SLS

FAQ

What is the Duotone Mast Aero Mid QM SLS and who is it suitable for?

The Duotone Mast Aero Mid QM SLS is a stiff carbon mast with the tool-free Quickmount system, whose profile lies between the thicker SLS and the thinner D/LAB mast. It is aimed at wing, prone, kite, SUP, downwind, pump, and windsurf foilers who are looking for a light, direct, and responsive riding experience.

In which sizes is the Aero Mid QM SLS available?

The mast is available in the lengths 75 cm, 82 cm, and 90 cm. This covers compact setups with maximum maneuverability as well as longer variants with more room over the water.

Which fuselage layouts and front wings are compatible with the mast?

The Aero Mid QM SLS is compatible with the Duotone 3BS fuselage layouts as well as with the D/LAB front wings. This allows it to be easily integrated into existing Duotone foil setups.

What is the Quickmount system and what advantage does it offer?

Quickmount is Duotone's tool-free mounting system: The baseplate remains on the board, the mast is mounted with the Mono-Claw adapter in a few seconds without screws or tools. According to the manufacturer, the power transmission corresponds to a firmly screwed-on plate.

What material and construction does the mast have?

The mast is made in prepreg carbon construction. The new profile with adjusted thickness and chord length reduces drag compared to the classic SLS mast and at the same time ensures high bending and torsional stiffness.

What areas and conditions does the Aero Mid QM SLS cover?

The mast is suitable for wing foiling, prone foiling, kite foiling, SUP foiling, downwinders, pump foiling, and with the right length also for windsurf foiling. Depending on the length, it fits from flat lakes and small waves to medium surf conditions.

What is delivered with the mast?

The delivery includes the mast, a protective cover, the necessary hardware, and a tracknut sled – so that mounting on the board is immediately possible.

How do I properly care for and transport the carbon mast?

Carbon does not tolerate hard blows: Rinse the mast with fresh water after every session, protect it from rocks and buoys, and always transport it in the included cover. Regularly check the screws and Quickmount adapters for a firm fit and cleanliness.
