A new dimension of performance opens up in freerace and racing with the HM107 mast!

Developed on demand and in collaboration with our team riders, the HM107 Team Series mast is a concentration of know-how and technology serving pure performance. To meet the ambitions of a team that includes several World Champions, GONG’s R&D division has invested considerable work in its development, enriching its skills and equipping itself with the best tools, with excellence as its specifications.

The result, validated by an office of hydrodynamicists specializing in ambitious projects such as those of the America’s Cup, Ultim or Moth foil boats, is a little gem that combines glide, rigidity and finesse.

Un shape optimisé pour la Race

The 107HM features a limited chord, a thin and consistent profile on the lower half, a high modulus construction, and a 1.5° rake integrated into the plate, making it a formidable mast for high-speed wingfoil and kitefoil at all angles and speeds.

It is specially optimized for gliding and being very rigid. Two essential characteristics that remain difficult to combine perfectly. Our very specific profile offers incredible glide and a perfectly rigid structure.

This profile does not cause stalling or ventilation at extreme speeds and against extreme gusts. You can push to the maximum. In all circumstances, this mast will be your best ally for beating your records and your opponents.

More precision and speed

In winging, it’s truly an amazing performance boost. Namely because it’s a mast that also reassures you. There’s so much margin that you can ride fast without stressing. Full tilt speed runs are serene. Going fast is no longer a challenge but simply the norm. To the point that we almost struggle to ride with people equipped with “normal” masts because we go so much faster.

In kitefoiling, this length is an asset for going fast of course, but it is exactly what also allows linking tricks together in a tight space. Mounted with a very “surf” oriented front wing, this mast allows carving like never before! We engage turns as we would in powder snow. It’s exhilarating.
