I'm Brian's friend with the T1 setup pictured above. First I want to say that the T1 has been an absolute grin-inducing pleasure to ride for the last several weeks. I ordered it with the 85cm Triton mast and have been using it on my Dwarfcraft and more recently Naish Microchip since I got it and I love the wing!
La Ventana is (as many already know) an incredible place to kite, but the waves stand up pretty high here, and for me at least, I like a long mast to cut through 4-5 foot waves on 24mph days and to be able to lean way back and cut up wind hard. I discovered that Triton makes a Moses/SABfoil adapter and got my hands on one, and bought a 106cm mast from a friend down here. I set up the mast + adapter + wing carefully following Triton's instructions and heeding the caution that a improper setup could wind up with the adapter splitting. Honestly the Microchip + 106 mast + T1 wing is arguably the coolest/best setup I can imagine. I got 3 good sessions in before this unfortunate adapter failure happened and the setup was SO MUCH FUN!
I think the mast is salvageable with some minor carbon repair, especially given that part of the mast slots into a fuselage or adapter like this in most use cases and those threads are very securely engineered into the core of the mast. I'm impressed that the T1 monowing doesn't appear to be damaged at all and the adapter acted as mostly sacrificial here. I definitely caution someone putting a long mast on the T1 with this adapter...you may end up in a similar situation as me, especially if you're doing torquey, slicey moves or jumping at all. I really hope Triton enables some robust options for longer masts in the near future as I hear lots of riders swearing by 100cm+ masts in waves and I agree with them.
I do want to close out this comment again saying that this shouldn't negatively reflect on the product or the company...their wing is revolutionary and super fun and I'll be back on it this afternoon with their stock 85cm mast and just pump through the waves a bit more. Companies innovate and improve and I'm sure they'll do that here. I'm not a materials/mechanical engineer but I think a different material like aluminum might serve better as an adapter at a point of such high torque (hence why Moses has aluminum fuselages?). I'm very excited to keep up with their development and products to come.
Here's one fun picture of me on the 106cm setup laid back loving life
