Foil Allvator Carbon Mast 77cm HM Second Hand 10962
Program
The most rigid and reliable full carbon mast.
Description
This new high modulus and prepreg full carbon mast is essential in the quiver of a demanding rider. The 77 cm HM mast is dedicated to high performance surf foiling or SUP foiling use,but also downwinders and dock starts, or even wing foiling.
On this mast you can carve much harder than with the 70 cm without breaching, even on a large front wing.
Absolutely perfect for hollow waves on which its length can absorb the steepness without getting overwhelmed or flirting dangerously with the surface.
More generally, it is essential in any situations where you need a margin, starting with the whitewater at the exit of the wave and when pumping. Of course you need a little more water to take off and the rail to rail will be less incisive than with the 70 cm, but the additional 7 cm can bring that little something that separates a frustrating touchdown from a crazy maneuver.
This length also translates to a better pop thanks to the amplitude of the resource: ideal for back flips! The difference in projection in the air is phenomenal.
On a downwinder with a poorly formed swell and a large front wing, the extra 7 cm mean more margin for errors and less sneaky ventilation. You gain serenity when flying with the 77 HM without having to settle for the less playful rail to rail of an 85cm mast.
77 cm is also ideal for dock starts from high pontoons or if you want your run to last. We clearly feel the benefits of this additional margin.
The 77 cm allows an optimal amplitude for pumping. We are going to multiply the movement. You can decrease the frequency while going faster. But this isn’t 85 cm though as we keep the nervousness of a short mast if we want to pick up the pace.
The 77cm length is ideal for use in surf foiling or SUP foiling. It is the perfect length for take off, aggressive curves in the waves and absolute rigidity.
In pumping, the rigidity gain 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.
Note: The fuselage is sold separately from the HM mast.
Your benefits are clear:
- A top level shape created by one of the leaders in the foiling world.
- A design at the cutting edge of R&D and ahead of its time.
- The incomparable stiffness of high modulus carbon and stringer!
- Best weight/rigidity compromise thanks to high-pressure molding in one-pass.
- No play possible thanks to the conical assembly.

- Significant weight gain with our foam mast.
- The Full Options 12K carbon finish at a crazy price.
- An incredible price that can only be explained by our direct relationship with you.

Buying guide
For whom?
It is the mast for the most demanding, for meticulous users, for fine technicians, because it is the very best.
This mast is intended for experienced riders. We therefore invite you to take the greatest care of it and not to equip yourself with it if you are a beginner.
What is it for?
The length of 77cm is intended primarily for surf foiling and SUP foiling, it offers an ideal pumping amplitude, a lot of pop thanks to a longer resource and more aggressive curves without breaching.
It is also perfect for dock starting from a high pontoon and its dynamic qualities offer super efficient pumping.
It will also be very suitable for downwinders in small conditions which require being very high on the foil, especially since its rigidity allows the use of a large front wing.
Which HM mast size?
The 77cm:
- In surf foiling / SUP foiling: it’s perfect in curves, pumping and the pop is stunning! Be careful if your spot is shallow, you might wanna turn to the 70 HM mast ?
- In downwinds: in small conditions it’s great, if it’s too choppy you can get overwhelmed and need the 85 cm mast.
- In wing foiling: it’s a bit short but it works very well and it can be handy on a trip.
- In kite foiling: too small, to forget.
Which quiver?
This mast is suitable for all wings but we recommend mounting “high performance” wings on it to get the best out of it.
Foil positioning?
For GONG foils, place the plate in the rear third in surf, SUP and kite foiling, and in the middle of the US rails for wing foiling.
The more you move it forward, the more it makes the board pitch up. The further you move it backwards, the more the nose of the board dives.
Be careful not to move it too far forward. We often tend to forget to use the back foot, especially when we have a kite foil background. However, moving the foil back a little forces you to put more weight on the back foot and gives a more harmonious attitude and reduces effort.
Equipments
Screw kit :
- 4 M6x30 torx screws with truss heads for the board.
- 4 washers.
- 4 square nuts for US-box.
- 3 M6x30 torx screws with countersunk heads for the fuselage.

Warning
The practice of the sport Foil may expose you to serious injury. A poor mastering of foil may lead to cut, serious injury and/or including death for you and/or others.
Foil should be practiced by taking into consideration all kite user precautions that are associated with the sport foil. Remember that a foil is long, cutting, and reaches high speeds. Getting hit by a foil, or hitting someone/thing can have dramatic consequences.
Always foil far from others, in a secure and safe waterscape without obstacles.
Foil is most often practiced in light winds which may cease to blow leading you to return to shore by swimming. As a consequence do not overestimate your your strength/capacity : never go further out than your skill and swimming capacities and wind conditions allow.
Always wear a helmet and life vest for floatation. Always wear a full body wetsuit.
When handling the foil, be careful not to cut yourself along the edges.
GONG is NOT responsable in case of any and all accidents implicating a foil GONG. The practice of Foil is undertaken under the complete responsibility of the foil User/Practioner.
