Foil Mounting 101 | Top Plates and Tuttle Mounts Explained


When you're getting into foiling, one of the key decisions you'll face is choosing between two main mounting systems: Top Plates and Tuttle mounts. Top Plates are the more popular and versatile option, featuring a flat plate that attaches to your board with four screws and lets you adjust your foil's position for the perfect ride. They are compatible with most board brands and built tough with high-quality aluminum or built into carbon masts. Top plates are perfect for riders who love to fine-tune their setup!

Tuttle mounts, while less common, are the go-to choice for speed demons and racing enthusiasts, especially in windsurfing and kite foil racing. They create a sleek, low-drag connection by integrating directly into the board with just two screws. While they don't offer the adjustability of Top Plates, they provide rock-solid stability that performance riders love.

Whichever system you choose, you'll be well-equipped for your foiling adventures – it just depends on whether you value versatility or streamlined performance more!
