Enjoy absolute rigidity and insane glide with our new HM masts from the Team Series collection!

The HM Team Series masts are jewels of technological know-how. Glide, stiffness, lightness and responsiveness, they are the obvious solution for foilers looking for excellence. Why? Because they fully convert the qualities of your set-up and translate all intentions with astonishing precision. Control is total and felt in carves, pops, accelerations, pumping and high speed runs.

A range that is refined

With 10 years of production of foils in large series, GONG was the world's leading driver of this practice with nearly 100,000 foils delivered. An incredibly intense decade of R&D that has allowed us to offer even thinner masts. You can now choose the thickness according to your needs for the HM70, 77 and 85 masts, and a thickness geared towards speed for the HM 92 and 107 masts.

Wing foiler: Malo, GONG team rider, with a Neutra UPE Aramid X, Stunt FSP Pro, HM85 Team Series mast and Fluid H foil.

How to choose the thickness of your HM mast?

The thinner the mast, the faster it is, increasing top speed and acceleration, especially with smaller wings.

The thicker the mast, the stiffer it is and the greater control it provides, particularly with larger front wings.

A rider of an average build equipped with a small front wing will have every interest in choosing the thinnest and fastest mast because the rigidity will be flawless. Beyond a certain size, the forces on the mast may require greater rigidity.

Take the example of the HM85 mast, to guarantee perfect stiffness of the whole set-up, we recommend:

The thickness of 14mm for front wings up to 100 cm in span
The thickness of 15mm for front wings up to 120 cm in span
The thickness of 16mm for front wings up to 150 cm in span

Note that the thicker masts develop a specific upper section where the fillets at the level of the top plate are more flared to take up the forces over the entire length of the latter. This geometry maximizes torsional rigidity as was already the case on the HM 72, 79 and 86 masts of the previous generation. These masts are recommended for pumping with large wings or the heaviest templates.

Kite foiler: Béryl, GONG staff, Ayto Aramid DP, Kiwii HDCC, HM85 Team Series mast and Veloce H foil.

Compatibility with our fuselages

The conical heel of our HM Team Series masts is identical to that of masts of the previous generation. Only the upper part of the heel which is rounded to match the more hydrodynamic shape of our new V3 fuselages differs slightly. This in no way prevents mounting a V3 generation mast on a V2 fuselage. However, to preserve hydrodynamics, we offer a V2 fuselage perfectly fitted to the slightly rounded shape of the top of the heel.
