I found this on the other forum interesting......
n: North Carolina
I took my Alien Air FX out for it's virgin session yesterday afternoon, light 10 - 11knot winds, North Rebel 14, Texas City Levee.
Initial perceptions was great, though the mast is quite tall.
Unfortunately, I was bummed that the mast broke off about 30 minutes into the session!! Very strange, broke off cleanly, no exposed carbon rovings etc. The baseplate is still secured firmly to the board and it's almost like the solid mast was "glued" into the pocket of the baseplate and not really laid up / integrated solidly into the base.
Again, deep water, sand bottom, board broke free cleanly sliding downwind once I got up on plane.
I know this is probably a freak mfg issue and Slingshot / MHL will stand behind this fully, just wasn't what I was expecting 30 min into my first session on a $2799 toy!!
Wow that's not good hope they sort for you
