I've seen some of the first Infusions make really elongated tacos out of their masts. I'm not sure what the cause for that was. I sure have put mine through it's paces at times.

Crew on the wire, spin up, "Is the mast supposed to look like that?"
Me, driving, trying to do the math on how we can keep the kite up all the way up to the finish line, traveler nearly bottomed out, main twisted off as much as I possibly dare (a ton), head swiveling up and down to use the brim of my hat to fend the spray from the bows off my face, "We're flying and destroying the fleet...I'm not looking up, just so you know".
