Three new masts in state-of-the-art technology, meeting the rigidity and performance needs of the most demanding foilers, are entering the range!
New levels of performance illustrated by a particularly demanding foiler in the person of Malo, team rider GONG, who won the U-19 Slalom 2022 World Title with the new 92 cm High Modulus mast and became 2022 Vice World Champion in the U-19 Freestyle discipline with the new 85 cm High Modulus mast!
A third High Modulus mast of 70cm, dedicated to surf foiling and SUP foiling, is also making its appearance in the range to boost your performance and your precision, in carves and in pumping. A real game changer, especially to connect waves on end.
High Modulus Carbon
TORAY M40J high modulus carbon offers incredible stiffness. It is a high-end carbon that delivers high mechanical properties while remaining resistant. A carbon popular in aeronautics as well as for high-end sports equipment. Its mechanical characteristics such as its superior tensile strength and Young’s modulus make it possible to obtain exceptional performance on the water.
The huge advantage of high-end carbon is its stiffness. To the point that it is not useful to put as much material as with other materials. Thus, we gain a significant weight, almost 20% compared to aluminum. And beyond the measured weight, the dynamism brings a feeling of liveliness and therefore of incredible lightness.
The HM coupled with the stringer increases the performance of this mast tenfold. The decrease in bending is around 30% and the decrease in torsion is around 40% compared to the V2 carbon mast, yet of excellent quality.
Three different beats
The 92cm HM Mast is about high performance in wing foiling for Racing / Slalom and kite foiling. Far from the chop and with comfortable margins, we can go faster, stronger, further in the actions. The gain is significant in particular because on this mast you feel confident enough to send it!
Thanks to its high tech construction, its profile is even more refined, in thickness and in chord, as it approaches the fuselage, which reduces drag, meaning it can reach the highest speeds. On the upper part of the mast, the thickness is reduced by 12%, and at the level of the fuselage, the thickness is reduced by 22% compared to the V2 carbon mast. These are huge reductions on a key element regarding the overall drag. The speed gain is amazing.
The 85 cm HM mast is dedicated to high performance in wing foiling, be it in freestyle, freeride or wave riding. Its length provides great versatility and tolerance. No need for a lot of depth, easy curves without getting overwhelmed, absolute rigidity, maneuvers and the pumping is very efficient.
Its profile is greatly refined, in thickness and in chord, as it approaches the fuselage, which reduces drag, meaning higher speeds. At the level of the fuselage, the thickness is reduced by 12% compared to the V2 carbon mast. We clearly have less drag !!!
The 70 cm HM mast is dedicated to high performance surf foiling or SUP foiling use. It is the perfect length for take-offs, aggressive curves in the waves and absolute rigidity.
The gain in pumping is close to 30% compared to a classic mast. It is very effective because we do not lose energy in imbalances and faults due to flexibility. It’s so mind-blowing that you have to actually test it to believe it. And this is even truer with high aspect wings which put a lot of effort on the mast. On the wave, steering precision is improved thanks to perfect control of flex and twist on this mast.
In a few words, this carbon mast combines finesse, lightness and extreme rigidity to shred on your spot.
