Does mast plate have any place in racing world or Tuttle is prevailing? Is 111 mast with a plate set to become a history?

It's around the same price of the new Huawei Mate X folding phone.
that makes the Havoc cheap.
or the folding phone very expensive.
Mind you If I was to mention I was thinking of spending that much on a foil set without board then it would cause havoc in our house.
well thought out name in that case.

Carbon and silicon - both are source of endless pleasure
As to justify price, for a western world at least, I have a system:
if the rate is under $1 per minute of use - consider it cheap and paid off.
Let’s say you buy a $30 drone and it flies away. If you got over half an hour of flying time out of it - you shouldn’t feel bad. You got a $300 wing and ruined it at a reef? If you got 5 hours of riding out of the wing - it paid itself off already. 5 minutes ride on a rollecoaster for $10. Expensive a bit but small sum to be bothered. Etc.
33 hours on $2000 setup is 15-20 good sessions. Pretty much covered in 14 days kite trip.
Consider it cheap.

My calculation is about 10$ per hour of use and I figure it's a good deal.

The trend is tuttle for racing.
I freeride with 111cm mast and 633 wing. I'm not planning to switch to tuttle board so that means I'm going to use 111cm mast + 10cm extension

Well done! Reminds me of pictures visualizing size of the Moon to Earth to Jupiter to Sun to bigger star to a bigger star....
I'm sure bunch of people are already bugging their dealers with "when is it coming to my door?"

It would be great to get someone to do a review of the new 790 and 645 wings.
I have tried the slingshot 84cm and that looks close to 790. Wonderd if the 790 is fast and carves good? Thats what the ss 84 does, kind of. And i like it alot.
Need something different from my 590/558.
Also intrested to hear about the speed of the 645. Hope its up there with the very best.
