Does anyone know if there is a difference between the new A+ masts as compared to the original ones? beside the extra hole, did they change the lay up, is it stiffer?

The same

If you are not doing airs I don't think it will make
any difference apart from the cost ?? Everything still fits.

Thx for the response, I'm not long to do airs (this old body has had enough). Just longer for a longer (85cm) one to ride waves and DW. Seen a couple of masts listed for sale, just wanted to know if it was worth it to pay more for the A+
