For anyone looking to make quick adjustments on the fly, these have been amazing! Originally designed for product testing without having to return to the beach, they also minimise drag. I'm still using the original prototypes after over a year, and they've been flawless. Now I wont foil without them as they also help getting on the water faster.


Billet Machined Titanium Screw Body: Prevents corrosive damage to the basemount.

Billet Machined Alloy Wingnut

Ultra-Light, Bomb-Proof Construction22-Point Wingnut Adjustment once tightened.

Ratchet Functionality to fit over oversized, bulbous basemounts.

Available Sizes: M8x25mm, M8x30mm, M7x28mm, M6x25mm, M6x30mm.


This lightweight, finger-adjustable assembly fits any M8 or M6 T-nut. It weighs just a fraction more than a standard stainless steel screw in the same position. Once locked in, it can be adjusted by lifting the wingnut to a freewheeling position, allowing for alignment in a hydrodynamically correct position.

We are coming up to our 9th season this summer and bringing a lot of manufacturing back to Australia. Marketing is not our strong point! Engineering, design and innovation are our strengths.

Hey, just ordered a set, looking forward to getting them over in NZ!

Question, if the OCD in me wants to tighten them to my mast's specs, do I load the torque wrench on visible Philips head screw? Or is that only to connect the wingnut to the screw body?

Got mine today M8 x 30
Super light
Beautifully made
Super easy to use.
I was out in very light wind this arvo and I simply flipped the board over, loosened the 4 nuts, slid my mast all the the way forward, cranked the nuts down then aligned the blades perfectly along the board lengthways and had instant change in board dynamics.
Got going on the first puff with the mast slammed forward, Im on a 7'6" DW board so plenty of room to change my feet position to suit the mast placement. Then if the wind had picked up (it didn't, it died completely) I could have flipped the board and slid my mast back to suit.
As the wind had died completely I went out for some flat water paddle practice and mucked around with various mast positions to see how that affected my stance/balance.
What's really great is being able to change the mast position so quickly and then compare the difference in the same conditions. You get an instant understanding of what suits your skill level with the gear you are riding in the current conditions.
Am I a happy customer after just one use?
Hell yeah !
