Discover our new range of Aluminum masts with optimized profiles and unique sizes.

The Alu V3 mast is a reliable and affordable option for rapid progress in foil, whether you're into surf, SUP, wing, kite, or wake foil. With its new V3 profiles, it offers exceptional glide and unmatched rigidity.

The Alu V3 masts have been fully redesigned with:

New profiles;
Two thicknesses;
New sizes;
A new plate;
A new MFC system for the V3 fuselage;
And a more rigid construction.

A range for all uses:

Alu Mast 55 cm : Court et quasiment sans bras de levier, il est idéal pour débuter quand on veut y aller tranquillement, en surf, en wake, en SUP, ou en wing ; ou dans des eaux peu profondes.
Alu Mast 62 cm : Parfait pour progresser sans stresser, à réserver à vos débuts car il n’offrira pas la marge de hauteur pour progresser loin.
Alu Mast 70 cm : Longueur “standard” en surf pour un équilibre simple et un bon mix de carving et de pumping. Une taille clef en surf, en wake, et en SUP. Sympa au début en wing pour ne pas stresser.
Alu Mast 77 cm : La taille la plus performante en surf et en SUP pour carver. Génial en pumping aussi, c’est un mat un peu court pour être au top en wing mais que certains utilisent dans les vagues pour plus de contrôle et passer dans peu d’eau, ou pour des débuts et une progression plus sereine.
Alu Mast 85 cm : Longueur de référence en wing pour une pratique allant du freeride au surf en passant par le freestyle au plus haut niveau, offrant le meilleur mix de performances. Top en kite pour un maximum de contrôle, en big air par exemple. Génial en tow in en surf.
Alu Mast 92 cm : Parfait en wing pour le freeride ou aborder la race, il est génial en vagues pour des carvings solides full speed. Parfait en kitefoil, il offre la petite marge en plus dans des conditions agitées.

Wingfoiler: Pamella, GONG team rider, with a V3 Alu Mast 85, and a 15mm thick mast.

The new Alu V3 masts are all available in two thicknesses:

17 mm: Perfect for front wings under 100 cm in span, delivering fantastic glide and flawless rigidity. The 17 mm mast profile has been completely redesigned to optimize glide while maintaining excellent rigidity. The positioning of the screws, reinforcements, and each cutout is a clever combination that ensures good power transmission, controlled flex and twist, and a feeling of lightness on the water.

19 mm: Provides additional rigidity for larger front wings above 100 cm in span, guaranteeing maximum stability. The brand-new 19 mm profile offers a practical and economical solution for activities like dockstart or pumping with large wingspans. It's not just a widened version of the 17 mm mast, but a profile in its own right that meets a specific set of requirements: ensuring greater rigidity while keeping exceptional glide for demanding disciplines.

Premium aluminum construction:

The high-quality aluminum construction is particularly rigid and durable, offering excellent value for money, making the Alu V3 mast a benchmark in the world of foiling.

Developed by our R&D, the new profile of the Alu V3 masts delivers exceptional glide and performance that rivals the best carbon masts of similar thickness. You’ll never feel limited by the glide, as it is smooth and perfectly fluid.

The essential mast for top-level versatility.

New Top Plate

The aluminum mast V3 top plate is a design masterpiece, combining performance and durability.

The top plate has been carefully designed to reduce drag and enhance glide. This attention to detail guarantees optimal performance on the water, before takeoff, and during touchdowns.

The precision of the fitting and the design of the fillets ensure a rigid connection and immediate responsiveness, essential for perfect control.

Note that the Top Plate is now offered in two sizes depending on the thickness of your Alu mast.

New Mast Fuselage Connector

The Mast Fuselage Connector enables the connection between the Alu V3 masts and V3 fuselages.

The interface between the different parts is optimized to ensure the most hydrodynamic flow possible, allowing you to maximize the ultimate glide of the V3 fuselage.
The Alu mast is compatible with all of our front wings and stabs, regardless of the generation.

The complete V3 lineup, including the fuselage, mast, front wing, and stab, has been redesigned to significantly improve the performance of our foils, without being constrained by our previous connection shapes.

Yet, this choice to change all our components was made with the goal of maintaining compatibility with our older ranges.

We therefore offer a broad selection of fuselages, giving you the freedom to mix and match all of our masts, front wings, and stabs, regardless of generation.

Alu mast compatible with the double US rail system, the most widely used box

Not all masts are compatible with all boards. The double US rail system is the most widely used foil box system, and it is the one used for all GONG boards across various sports (wing foil, kite foil, surf foil, SUP foil, and pump foil). Our boards are equipped with GONG dual-entry boxes that make attaching your mast quick and easy with just a few turns of the key.

Our SCS system, suitable for both rigid and inflatable boards, as illustrated below, allows you to keep the screws in position and easily insert all 4 screws with one movement on the board, tightening them with your key. This saves time and ensures you never lose your screws or waste time looking for them.
