Just curious, is One Ocean going to offer a tuttle mast in the future. Now with a few brands building adjustable tuttle boards.

This is already on our you ride you decide page and it's something we could do for sure but would be keen to see how many really want it which is why we have it here www.oneoceansportsaustralia.com/one-foils/p/future-kickstart-program

If we get 10 keen then I will green light it no worries ??

Here is the wite up, I will add some pics as well when i get some time. Any questions just let me know. www.oneoceansportsaustralia.com/blog/2026/4/10/recasting-the-mast-foot

I have a 84 SSS with a lift adapter that isn't that good as it doesn't have the wedge fitting and relies on the 2 -6mm bolts holding it and I should switch to Axis . It's very stiff but very heavy . Would I buy another one
YES

If for some reason the adaptor is loose you could just recast the mast foot to make it a perfect fit again and then it will be super tight and perfect and won't rely on the screws a much.

Recasting the foot is super easy. I have a full step by step write up on this if anyone ever wants to try.

Weight on the masts is 1.9-2kg for the SSS and 2-2.1kg for the SS Approx. Masts are pretty much solid carbon cured in Autoclave so quite hard to make super light without taking away some strength. Always something to work on though for the future.

Performance wise between ti and Alloy is harder to feel but on smaller wings it's maybe more noticeable at higher speeds, ti is stronger and stiffer so you can go a bit smaller which then should lean towards less wetter surface area which should mean faster. For sure though more improvement is made in wings and masts for performance but if everything is equal in wings and masts then a Ti fuse should by theory be slightly faster.

The real advantage for Ti is the hassle free side and it just taking this side of hassling completely out of it. For me it's the best thing I have done in terms of just making my life easier.

The other good side well for our Ti is if you are someone who owns more than 1 fuse it is actually cheaper as well. Once someone has the Ti part then the tail sections are cheap compared to buying a whole new fuse so really long term the Ti is better for the hip pocket as well, so really there is no down side.

Haha just reread and noticed you wanted Ti to Carbon haha my bad!! I guess most of the above still stands and it's the ability to go smaller with Ti. With the carbon fuses to get the strength around the mast insert they have to be oversized or warrantys will be a nightmare. The Ti can maybe nearly be half the size so less wetted area means if done right should be faster.

No worries! When will we see a One Ocean to AFS ti fuse!? I tried to get stringy to make a one ocean to AFS alu fuse but its super low interest to him.

Since my first foil setup (Takuma Kujira with aluminum fuse) I've never bought a fuselage. Cloud IX was monoblock and AFS has been monoblock for me up until now. But.... I need a new mast and gotta get a fuse to ride enduros and silk v2s so the question is throw down on ti and forget about it forever or do the carbon game. Sounds like there's justification either way but I think I'm leaning ti for the set it and forget it.

I will say, I think there will be some tom foolery possible with the AFS ti fuse and the way it's designed. It looks like it will accept monoblock tails down the road if they wanted to do something like that which would be cool.

Yeah always hard to have everything perfect and one thing fit everything else.
If that magic bullet comes along I will be sure to share it with everyone else.

Always have to make the joins nice going from something like we have to something like the AFS unfortunately but if someone out there has a good way then please hit me up and we can make it.
