FEEDBACK: MAT HM 85

13 april 2023 0

Feedback from Valentin who adopted the High Modulus mast for his wing foiling sessions.

Wing foiler : Lilian, GONG team rider, with an HM 85 Mast, a Lethal FSP Pro 4’5 and a Neutra.

“I’m 1m67, 44 kg and apparently 32 years old .? I’ve had a few masts in my possession: Alu V1 (70, 80, 90), Monobloc 85, Alu V2 85, Carbone V2 85 mast. a Veloce LH in lightwind (-10 knots), Ypra MS and Ypra XS. When carried on the shoulder, I didn’t find any difference apart from the trailing edge, which may be a little thinner, so it can hurt my hands. On takeoff, I didn’t find any real difference, as I can take off in nothing it’s complicated to take off in less than nothing?, but I think there is a small gain.

In flight, it’s a whole different story!!!

A better glide, more responsive, I feel like my feet are screwed directly to the front wing and the stab? . On the high speed phases, I have a better glide than with the 85 carbon, I find that at equal speed the drag of water behind the mast is reduced, I think it has better acceleration. When sailing with a lot of angle (one of my passions?) I find it more stable when the tip of the front wing breaches.

In curves, the mast is more responsive.

Personally, given my weight I don’t need something more rigid. My test to see the rigidity of a mast is to sail in the wake of a large motor boat. I think I have found my limit because when I sail full speed in a rough wake, it is I who vibrate, not the mast??. For jumps, on the pop phase I don’t see any difference, in the air either, at the reception there are no shaky moments and it is easier to keep your flight. In surfing, I don’t have much experience with it yet, so I can’t say anything, on the other hand in freefly it’s great, you keep its speed better and in pumping it’s super responsive. As I manage to feel the foil better, I can recover more easily from errors (when my foil breaches, I can recover more easily when stallling). Another positive point that I have seen with the HMs, the leaves, algae (etc.) do not stay stuck on the mast and end up leaving and that’s just the dream?
