Hi Hookipa18,
a too stiff mast can kill the quality of a Slalom sail indeed. Sailsizes around 7 - 8 m² need a 460, there is no other choice in my opinion. Have a 8.4 from another brand (4 cams, too) and I feel like that a 460 would work better than the 490ty. Have a 8.3 freeride sail no cam, which works great with 460ty. Anyway, you need the flex in the top. Do not go for a too stiff (too long mast), better invest in good extensions.

All th ebest,
Chris
